Anemia Of Inflammation
Anemia is defined as low number of red blood cells or decrease the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood. There are many causes of anemia such as deficiency of minerals, worms, excess blood leakage in traumas and chronic loss of blood in the body.
The same chronic type of anemia occurs in people with ankylosing spondylitis. It can cause lethargy, tiredness, and a lack of energy. Most scientific studies and clinical trials show that anemia in this condition develops due to constant inflammation of the bones and other connective tissues. Some studies also contribute it to chronic blood loss in the stools. Statistically, it is the second most common type of chronic anemia.
