Could mitral valve regurgitation cause anemia?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: If one has mixed mitral valve disease with a heavily calcified mitral valve that is both stenotic and regurgitant, one could imagine marked turbulance of the blood flow across the mitral valve with destruction of rbc's however, this is very unlikely.

Unlikely: Unless this is after a mitral valve replacement and there is significant peri-valvular leak causing rbc destruction.

My doctor suspects I have Lupus and sent me for an echo. Results normal except for "anterior mitral valve leaflet is long and slightly thickened". No prolapse or regurgitation. What would cause long/thickened leaflet? Lupus or something else? Thanks?
