Article Synopsis
- Anemia is highly common in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, with 54.55% of the 330 studied individuals showing anemia, reflecting the impact of disease severity and inflammation on hemoglobin levels.
- The study revealed that anemic RA patients had a higher Disease Activity Score (DAS28) and significantly elevated inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate) compared to non-anemic patients.
- There were significant links identified between anemia, longer disease duration, greater RA severity, and increased levels of inflammation, indicating that managing inflammation could be crucial for addressing anemia in RA patients.
