This is an excellent explaination. I have anemia of CD. I have cancer also. I also just finished radiation (inflammation?) How do they know which one it is?

[deepankurdasila]

nice video... just one thing you said the macrophages in liver degrade the RBC whereas that happens in the spleen not in the liver please clarify.

[KaotooPholvivat]

If the hepcidin decrease RBC degradation then what happen to the expired RBC?

[SJ-reoi]

Does thalessemia leads to anaemia of chronic disease ??

[sapphire]

why is ferritin high in anaemia of chronic disease and low in iron deficieny? and why does total iron binding capacity is high in IDA and low in anemia of chronic disease? thank you
