Abstract:
Fatigue is a common, non-specific symptom that often impairs patients' quality of life. Even though fatigue may be the first symptom of many serious diseases, it is often underestimated due to its non-specific nature. Iron metabolism disorders are a prominent example of conditions where fatigue is a leading symptom. Whether it is an iron deficiency or overload, tiredness is one of the most common features.

Our study aims to present the current state of knowledge on fatigue in patients with deteriorated iron metabolism.
