A functional iron deficiency is either caused by {{c1::anaemia of chronic disease}} or {{c2::iron restricted erythropoiesis}}
Extra
- In anaemia of chronic disease, the predominant mechanism is a block in iron release from macrophages back into the circulation, which occurs in the setting of inflammation and increased hepcidin production
- In iron restricted erythropoiesis, iron stores may be available but their release into the circulation may not be rapid enough to support the increased erythropoietic rate; thus, these individuals have insufficient iron stores to respond to the erythropoiesis stimulating agents
