Iron absorption can result from gastrectomy and upper small-bowel malabsorption syndromes. Rarely, absorption is decreased by dietary deprivation from undernutrition. Pathogenesis depletion of storage iron o decreased serum ferritin to 1-35 ug / L decreased serum iron and elevated transferrin (TIBC) elevated levels of free erythrocyte protoporphyrins (FEP) are heme precursors which accumulate in iron deficiency
