A member asked:
Been iron deficient probably bc of remicade (infliximab) i am on. i was wondering if avascular neurosis of hip which was just diagnosed and cause low iron levels.

See details: First of all, an iron deficiency anemia is not related to Remicade (infliximab). Avascular nevrosis will not cause low iron levels. However, active RA can and it is related to active inflammation.
