Q

Anemia of inflamm

A

liver secretes hepicidn, inc’d ferroportin in macrophages - internalize feroprtin so that iron can’t get out of macrophages
low iron, low to normal transferrin sat, low TIBC cuz high ferrtin just inaccessible

Q

Anemia of inflammation (chronic dz)

A

RBC can’t use iron from reticuloendotheial stores (Macrophages etc) due to hepcidin release (traps iron in macrophages) in chronic inflamm states like Rheum arthrtisi, LE, TB etc (iron filled macros in BM)
