Fighting for Hematology

The American Society of Hematology (ASH) has issued new clinical guidance to improve how iron deficiency (ID) is recognized and diagnosed across key populations, including adults, young children, menstruating and pregnant individuals, and people with inflammation. These evidence-based guidelines address long-standing challenges in diagnosing ID, including variation in testing practices and inconsistent thresholds, especially those for ferritin levels.

The 68th ASH Annual Meeting will be held in person at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, and virtually from December 12-15, 2026. Registration for ASH members, non-members, groups, exhibitors, and media is now open!

We welcome hematologists from all over the world to the 68th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition.
