Acute myocardial infarction
Anemia of chronic disease
Typical lab findings:
Serum iron < 50
TIBC < 150
Normochromic or hypochromic red
cells
Normal ferritin
Normal serum transferrin receptor
Anemia of chronic disease
Mechanisms:
blunted erythropoietin response
diminished response of erythroid
precursors to erythropoietin
decreased delivery of iron from
RES, increased intracellular
ferritin in macrophages
decreased gastrointestinal iron
absorption
Anemia of chronic disease
Mediators:
IL-1
IL-6
g-interferon
TNF-a

Recombinant human erythropoietin is approved
only for treatment of anemia caused by renal
