A member asked:
Why do patients with prolonged inflammation of the stomach lining also have anemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 possibilities: Chronic inflammation can lead to anemia. The longstanding inflammation affects rbc survival and iron availability. This leads to anemia. Inflammation of the stomach lining can also cause low levels of blood loss. Over time, this can cause iron deficiency anemia.
