초록
Objective : To expend the oriental medicine-based strategies or therapeutics for anemia including iron deficiency anemia. Methods : A 23 year-old man has been suffering from severe and chronic iron deficiency anemia, who was believed to have disorder of iron absorption. Then, he has neither specific medical cause nor positive response to western treatments. Blood and biochemical parameters such as levels of hemoglobin, ferritin, transferrin and serum iron were serially chased during treatments. Result : Bojungicki-tang was given to the patient based on diagnosis as a deficiency of Spleen Qi. The hemoglobin level was normalized along with administration of Bojungickitang. Also, the distortions of biochemical indicators (ferritin, transferrin and serum iron) reached to normal range within three months. Conclusion : Bojungickitang could be a curable remedy for Iron Deficiency Anemia caused by problem in iron absorption if symptom-differentiation has deficiency of Spleen Qi.
