Cause of Anemia: Chronic Inflammatory Conditions
Advertisements

Chronic inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or inflammatory bowel disease, can contribute to the development of anemia. Inflammation can interfere with the production and function of red blood cells, leading to a condition called anemia of chronic disease (ACD).

Treatment for ACD typically involves addressing the underlying inflammatory condition and managing anemia symptoms. In some cases, medications to boost red blood cell production or iron supplementation may be prescribed.

Regular monitoring of blood tests and disease activity can help manage anemia in individuals with chronic inflammatory conditions. (8)
