    Objective: Several metabolic pathways are affected by the reduction in the amount of iron iniron deficiency anemia (IDA). As a result, some hormonal control mechanisms, especiallycarbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acid metabolism, are influenced. In this study, we aimed toinvestigate the effect of IDA on serum lipid profile.Method: Files of 30 patients with IDA and 30 healthy people , whoconsulted to internal medicine and gastroenterology clinic in Namık Kemal University Facultyof Medicine, were scanned. The lipid and blood parameters of these people as well as theirdemographics were recorded.Results: While serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels were markedlylower in IDA cases than in controls, serum triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) andvery low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels did not differ in patients with IDA compared withthe control group.Conclusion: It was observed that serum total cholesterol and LDL levels, whose main contentis cholesterol, were decreased in IDA. We consider that reduction of iron levels changescholesterol metabolism
