The impact of intensive serial plasmapheresis and iron supplementation on iron metabolism and Hb concentration in menstruating women: a prospective randomized placebo‐controlled double‐blind study

Abstract

Menstruating women undergoing regular plasmapheresis at short intervals are prone to develop Fe depletion. This can be prevented by regular Fe intake. Laboratory analyses in product plasma instead of serum gained from whole-blood samples could be an alternative to reduce blood loss.
