Deficiency Symptoms Observed in Chronic Diseases

Abstract

Anemia that occurs in infectious and inflammatory processes, non-infectious inflammatory diseases and tumors is called "anemia in chronic diseases" (AHD), emphasizing the role of the underlying disease in its pathogenesis. The prevalence of anemia in a number of diseases reaches 100%. Despite the variety of pathogenetic mechanisms of anemia in such situations, one of the main ones is the redistribution of iron to the cells of the macrophage system, which are activated in various inflammatory (infectious and non-infectious) or inflammatory processes. According to the prevalence of neoplastic processes, ACH is in the 2nd place after iron deficiency anemia (IDA).
