Question

Recall how celiac disease, gastrectomy, and chronic blood loss can all lead to iron deficiency.

a) Celiac disease causes malabsorption, gastrectomy reduces iron absorption, and chronic blood loss depletes iron stores.

b) Celiac disease increases iron absorption, gastrectomy leads to iron overload, and chronic blood loss has no impact on iron levels.

c) Celiac disease, gastrectomy, and chronic blood loss all enhance iron absorption.

d) Celiac disease, gastrectomy, and chronic blood loss have no association with iron deficiency.

Answer 1

Celiac disease causes malabsorption, gastrectomy reduces iron absorption, and chronic blood loss depletes iron stores.

Step-by-step explanation:

Celiac disease causes malabsorption, gastrectomy reduces iron absorption, and chronic blood loss depletes iron stores. Iron deficiency occurs as a result of malabsorption from the gastrointestinal tract, impaired absorption in patients who have total removal of the stomach or a removal of a considerable amount of the intestine, and pathological blood loss from various sources such as bleeding piles, peptic ulcer, and gastrointestinal tract cancer.
