To calculate the Iron Deficit (ID):
\[ \text{ID} = (\text{Hb}_{\text{target}} - \text{Hb}_{\text{current}}) \times \text{Weight} \times 2.4 + 500 \]
Where:
The Ganzoni formula is a clinical tool used to estimate the total iron dose required to correct iron deficiency anemia. It takes into account the patient’s weight, their current hemoglobin level, and the target hemoglobin level to calculate the iron deficit. This formula is particularly useful for determining the dosage of intravenous iron therapy.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{ID} = (130 - 100) \times 70 \times 2.4 + 500 = 5560 \text{ mg} \]
The Iron Deficit is 5560 mg.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{ID} = (140 - 110) \times 60 \times 2.4 + 500 = 4940 \text{ mg} \]
The Iron Deficit is 4940 mg.
