Sleep Europe 2024 | Mitigating the risk of iron overload in patients with RLS treated with iron supplementation
Celia Garcia-Malo, MD, PhD, Centro Integral de Sueño y Neurociencias CISNe, Madrid, Spain, discusses the risks associated with iron supplementation as a treatment for restless legs syndrome (RLS), particularly iron overload. She emphasizes the need to give every patient with RLS a blood test to check peripheral iron levels before initiating iron supplementation, which aims to improve brain iron deposits. This interview took place at the Sleep Europe 2024 congress in Seville, Spain.
