For which condition is intravenous Iron specifically indicated?

  1. Vitamin B12 deficiency

  2. CKD on hemodialysis

  3. Iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy

  4. Acute blood loss

The correct answer is: CKD on hemodialysis

Intravenous Iron is specifically indicated for CKD patients on hemodialysis. Vitamin B12 deficiency is treated with Vitamin B12 supplementation and not intravenous Iron. Iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy and acute blood loss are more commonly treated with oral Iron supplements rather than intravenous Iron. Therefore, option B is the only condition for which intravenous Iron is specifically indicated.
