Incredibly helpful! I have Systemic Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren's Syndrome, nMALS (Neurogenic Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome) among a list of 19 other conditions, most of which are less severe than the ones I listed. I have to get blood work regularly to check my red and white blood cells (among other things). For a while, when I was severely malnourished, my levels were low and I took a supplement. They get messed up now and then from the Lupus as well. I really appreciate the clear and scientific explanation here, informative and interesting! :)

Do chronic diseases lead to only iron deficiency anemia ?!
I mean that can chronic disorders cause other type of anemia?!

I have anemia of chronic disease with diagnosed celiac disease/gluten ataxia/hypothyroidism/Eoe with gastroparesis/ historiy of iron sideremia and megaloblastic anemia.
Been tested for polycytemia and iron overlaod (hemochromatosis) and the result will come within 2 weeks.
Is anemia of chronic disease associated with Celiac/Chron s/autoimmune gastritis most of the time ?

Quick question. Please why would the Feretin be high if iron is low?
