Iron Deficiency and Stroke Occurrence

The researchers noted that many people who have other types of conditions that allow blood clots pass through the filtering system of the lungs. They hope that these findings may ultimately help prevent the occurrence of stroke .

Iron deficiency affects about two billion people around the world , and recent research has showed that iron deficiency may be a risk factor for stroke . However, it is technically still unknown how iron deficiency may increase the risk of stroke .

" Because of platelets in the blood from sticking together if you are iron deficient , we thought this might explain that iron deficiency can lead to stroke , although further studies are needed to prove this relationship , " said Dr. Claire Shovlin , from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial college London .

" The next step is to test whether we can reduce the likelihood of high-risk patients with stroke will overcome iron- deficient . We will be able to see whether they become less sticky platelets , " Shovlin said .

" There are still some additional steps from a clot blocking a blood vessel can progress to the last step , so it is still unclear which influence platelet stickiness for keseluruhanan process , " he added . " We would certainly encourage more study to investigate this relationship . "
