Anemia & Stroke
2. Introduction
Have a clear relationship with cerbrovascular events
The fifth cardiovascular risk factors
Related to stroke poor outcome; increase mortality
and morbidity
Anemia: 15-29 % of acute stroke patients

3. Pathophysiology
Anemia disturbs endothelial adhesiom molecule
genes that may lead to thrombus formation.
Blod flow augmentation and turbulence thrombus
migration artery to artery embolism.

4. Pathophysiology in Iron Deficiency Anemia
↑ EPO levels secondary reactive thrombocytosis.
Altered erythrocyte deformability may impair oxygen
tissue delivery, either through changes in oxygen
capacity or through blood flow abnormalities.
Inflammation, occurring in the setting of anemic
hypoxia, can lead to ischemic brain tissue damage.
Diffuse ischemic damage in watershed brain regions

5. Pathophysiology in Hemoglobinopathies
Sludging occurs in small brain vessels,
Anemia results in abnormal cerebrovascular
reactivity and perfusion
Large vessel disease (vasculopathy)

historic cohort study. BMC Nephrol. 2010;16:11–27.
6. Pathophysiology in Other Anemias
Hypercoagulability in thallasemia.
Acute bleeding: Induce increased platelet
adhesiveness and decreased fibrinolytic activity
increase thrombus formation in patients with
vascular risk factors.
Increased homocysteine (Hcy) serum levels in
megaloblastic or pernicious anemia

7.
8. Treatment
RBC transfusion
EPO
Chronic exchange transfusion, hydroxiurea and stem
cell transplantation in SCD or thallasemia
Iron administration. Newer iv iron complexes (i.e.,
sucrosic and carboxymaltose iron low-molecular-
weight dextran) are more safe, without side effects
and can be easily administered at a relatively low
cost. U-shaped (avoid too much iron)

Scandinavica, 135(6), 596-602.
9. SUMMARY
Anemia may increase stroke risk
Higher mortality and morbidity
Treatment including PRBC transfusion, iron
administation, etc.
