    Journal: Rev Esp Anestesiol Reanim; 2015 Jun; 62 Suppl 1():63-8. PubMed ID: 26320347.
    Abstract:
    Iron deficiency is more common in women due to uterine bleeding, which affects them throughout their fertile life. Additionally, iron needs increase physiologically during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pregnant women therefore constitute one of the risk groups for iron deficiency. During the postpartum period, iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia. Longer hospital stays and greater susceptibility to infections are potential consequences of postpartum anemia.
