30+ years as an Internist & this is the BEST explanation of anemia of chronic disease I've ever come across. Thank you!

PS: Ferritin is also known as an "acute phase reactant", a body of proteins that are elevated in the serum as a result of any inflammatory process. Just like ESR & CRP. So, it stands to reason that ferritin will be elevated in ACD which is also known as anemia of chronic inflammation.

What about low ferritin (14) and low transf sat (9%) but a normal to low normal haemoglobin (10.6-12) the docs just say take a little iron supplement as hb normal.

[gemadenisse]

Love all your videos! Keep it cool as always. Thank you so much!

My ferritin is low, iron serum is high and iron saturation is high. Last year all 3 were low until I started taking iron pills. I wish I knew which one is the problem

[dolorestorres-thornton]

In anemia of chronic disease is their low iron cell saturation?

I have a question I hope you don't mind answering I just started getting my iron infusions I need two iron infusions every week for 2 months. And I haven't seen anyone post this so I'm going to probably be the only fool to ask this but for some strange reason I got extremely emotional on my first one and yesterday I had my 3rd and I started crying like a baby I couldn't control that it was insane I had no control I kept crying crying crying and was wondering if this is a symptom and if so why. My symptoms include trouble breathing Headache nausea that the typical symptoms you have written down also I can't seem to drive long distances is that normal
