Anemia of chronic disease
Other namesAnemia of chronic inflammation
Anemia of inflammation
Anemia of inflammatory response

Anemia of chronic disease (ACD)[1][2] or anemia of chronic inflammation[3] is a form of anemia seen in chronic infection, chronic immune activation, and malignancy. These conditions all produce elevation of interleukin-6, which stimulates hepcidin production and release from the liver. Hepcidin production and release shuts down ferroportin, a protein that controls export of iron from the gut and from iron storing cells (e.g. macrophages). As a consequence, circulating iron levels are reduced. Other mechanisms may also play a role, such as reduced erythropoiesis. It is also known as anemia of inflammation,[4] or anemia of inflammatory response.[5]
