Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. It is diagnosed when serum iron concentrations are low despite adequate iron stores, as evidenced by serum ferritin that is not low. In the setting of inflammation, AI may be difficult to differentiate from iron deficiency anemia, and the two conditions may coexist. In AI, erythropoiesis is iron-restricted by hepcidin-mediated hypoferremia and erythrocyte production is suppressed by cytokines acting on erythroid progenitors. Decreased erythropoiesis is unable to compensate for shortened erythrocyte lifespan caused by enhanced erythrophagocytosis by cytokine-activated macrophages. Treatment should focus on the underlying disease. If this is not feasible and the anemia limits the quality of life or the performance of daily activities, a combination of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and intravenous iron may be effective but should be attempted only after careful consideration of risk and benefit. Recent advances in molecular understanding of AI are stimulating the development of new pathophysiologically targeted experimental therapies.
