Anemia and Inflammation

Completed

• Conditions: Iron Deficiency Anemia; Inflammation

• Registration Number: NCT03618914
• Lead Sponsor: Swiss Federal Institute of Technology

Brief Summary

During inflammation hepcidin concentrations are increased, leading to a decrease in iron absorption. In iron deficiency anemia hepcidin is suppressed due to the activation of erythropoiesis. Whether inflammation or anemia has the stronger effect on hepcidin is uncertain.
