Anemias in endocrine diseases

Endocrine gland disorders increase the risk of developing anemia and are an independent cause of their occurrence. Of all endocrine diseases, diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy, hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, and hypogonadism contribute most to the development of anemia. The pathophysiological basis for the occurrence of anemia in these conditions is multifactorial and requires further investigation. Endocrine diseases lead to the development of microcytic, normocytic, macrocytic and hypochromic, normochromic, hyperchromic anemias. The resulting anemia leads to aggravation of the course of the underlying disease, thus closing the vicious circle. Simultaneous and complex treatment of both endocrine pathology and anemia leads to more successful correction of anemia.
