Summary

Infective endocarditis (EI) is an extremely serious disease requiring prolonged hospitalisation, complex management by multidisciplinary teams and high healthcare costs. Anemia is also emerging as a virtually constant condition associated with endocarditis, as evidenced by its inclusion in the variables used to calculate risk scores.Anemia associated with infective endocarditis (EI) has a remarkably complex and multifactorial pathogenesis.It is essential to treat anaemia in patients with EI as an integral part of their overall therapy, in what is now called patient blood management. Blood transfusion is not the only approach available to treat this condition. It is essential to correct any deficiencies, whether iron or vitamins. In addition, some patients may benefit from the administration of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents.

Conditions

  • Infective Endocarditis

Interventions

DRUG

Intravenous iron

Patients with an absolute deficiency (ferritin ≤100 μg/L) or functional deficiency (ferritin ≤ 300 μg/L with transferrin saturation ≤20%) receive iron supplementation, through a single administration of an iron preparation for intravenous use administered according to the doses present in the technical data sheet.

OTHER

Retrospective case-control analysis

the only routine clinical data collection (Hb, iron status, direct and indirect Coombs test, IL6, erythropoietin dosage, number of units of blood components possibly transfused)
