Aims: This research examined how adding iron citrate (Synthesit) affected chemotherapy-induced nerve damage in a patient diagnosed with primary fallopian tube cancer.
Methodology: A 51-year-old Lithuanian woman received adjuvant chemotherapy and iron citrate. The blood indices and inflammation markers were monitored.
Results: The patient showed macrocytic normochromic anemia, fluctuating platelet parameters, and varied procalcitonin levels, suggesting Synthesit influences immune function and hematologic parameters during chemotherapy.
Scientific Novelty: This study distinctively investigated the influence of iron citrate on changes in hematologic and immune parameters during chemotherapy.
Conclusion: Synthesit may affect the blood counts, red blood cell production, and immune markers, aiding in chemotherapy-induced neuropathy management.
