Inflammation, anemia: Inflammartion is a complex biological process involving vascular tissue in response to harmful stimuli. It can occur without infection such as ra, sle, etc. Blood c-reactive protein can reflect the presence of inflammation. Inflammation causes an increase in a liver protein called hepcidin which then hamper iron absoption and utilization, thus resulting in anemia (anemia of chronic inflammation).
