Overview
Conditions that can lead to anemia of chronic disease include autoimmune disorders, cancer, chronic kidney disease liver cirrhosis, long-term infections, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B or hepatitis C, less production of erythropoietin (EPO) by kidneys, resistance of bone marrow to EPO, decreased half life of red blood cells, hospitalization for severe acute infections, trauma, or other conditions that cause inflammation.
Causes
Conditions that can lead to anemia of chronic disease include:[1][2][3][4]
- Autoimmune disorders, such as Crohn's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis
- Cancer, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin disease
- Chronic kidney disease[5]
- Liver cirrhosis
- Long-term infections, such as bacterial endocarditis, osteomyelitis (bone infection), HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B or hepatitis C
- Inability to properly store and use iron normally
- Less production of erythropoietin (EPO) by kidneys
- Resistance of bone marrow to EPO
- Decreased half life of red blood cells
- Hospitalization for severe acute infections, trauma, or other conditions that cause inflammation
- Aging, which can contribute to inflammation and anemia
- Sarcoidosis
- Vasculitis and other rheumatologic disease[5]
