5B5K.0 Iron deficiency

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01

Iron deficiency is a state in which there is insufficient iron to maintain the normal physiological function of blood, brain and muscles. It can exist in the absence of anaemia if it has not lasted long enough or if it has not been severe enough to cause the haemoglobin concentration to fall below the threshold for the specific sex and age group. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency.
