What is Understanding Latent Anemia and Iron Deficiency about?

Iron deficiency without anemia is common and can present with non-specific symptoms, with low ferritin and transferrin saturation but normal hemoglobin levels. Latent iron deficiency (LID) is characterized by low serum ferritin and normal hemoglobin, and can progress to iron-deficiency anemia if not addressed. The WHO recommends using ferritin concentration to diagnose iron deficiency, particularly in healthy individuals and those with infection or inflammation.
