Iron deficiency (ID) can cause long term health consequences beyond iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The high prevalence of ID and its long-term effects in patients with obesity and after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is recognized. Nevertheless, there is limited knowledge of the optimal route or dose for treatment of patients with obesity and post-MBS, and an evidence-based universal guideline for prevention and treatment of ID in short- and long-term post-MBS (PMBS) is not yet available. ID in the general population is currently treated with oral or parenteral iron, where oral iron treatment is considered the preferred option with parenteral iron as a second-line treatment in case there is intolerance or lack of response to oral iron. In patients with obesity with chronic low-grade inflammation and PMBS patients with altered gut anatomy and function, there are also alterations in the bioavailability and higher risks of side effects of available oral irons. The conclusions of current studies exploring effective treatment of iron deficiency in this population have been inconsistent and further well-planned randomized and prospective studies are needed. This is a narrative review of the literature on the available treatment options and strategies for treatment of ID in PMBS patients to recognize the knowledge gaps and provides topics of future research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16193350","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,2]],"date-time":"2024-10-02T06:27:31Z","timestamp":1727850451000},"page":"3350","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Iron Treatment in Patients with Iron Deficiency Before and After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery: A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7025-467X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jila","family":"Kaberi-Otarod","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Weight Management, Geisinger Health System Northeast, Scranton, PA 18503, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher D.","family":"Still","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Center for Obesity and Metabolic Research, Geisinger Obesity Institute, Danville, PA 17821, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.
