Anemia : Overview, Symptoms, Causes, Types, and Dietary Guidelines
Anemia Of Chronic Disease and Inflammation
People who experience chronic diseases or the diseases that cause inflammation in the body suffer this type of anemia. Due to inflammation, the body’s natural processes get disturbed, and the body cannot use iron effectively to produce red blood cells. Diseases such as cancer, chronic infections, HIV, kidney disorders, inflammatory bowel syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis cause inflammation in the body. The inflammatory process inhibits the production of hormones by the kidney that helps in the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
