“…There exist some expectation that inflammatory response also significantly affects iron the status towards causing decrease in iron stores. It is also well known that inflammation interferes with iron metabolism, and erythropoiesis causing anaemia of chronic disease (ACD), also known as anaemia of inflammation, confirmed in the presence of chronic inflammation (increased CRP level in the absence of other inflammatory cause), diminished haemoglobin level and a low TSAT [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…A normal ferritin level therefore does not exclude accompanying IDA. [7] This is evident by the reduced ferritin sensitivity of 46.4% at the clinically recommended cut-off of 30 µg/L in hospital patients. [3] More recently, automated analysers can perform tests that are reported to be independent of infection and inflammation.…”
