?:definition
  • Anemia is seen in a number of rheumatic disease processes. A normochromic normocytic anemia, commonly referred to as the anemia of chronic disease is most common. The prescence of this anemia often reflects the activity of the inflammatory disease. Hemolytic anemia is seen frequently in SLE. Anemias related to either treatment, such as microcytic anemia secondary to iron deficiency from NSAID-induced gastric bleeding or a macrocytotic associated with MTX use, or a concurrent disease process may also be seen.
