Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Anemia (decreased number of red blood cells) is common in critically ill trauma patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit and is associated with a high rate of blood transfusions. This "anemia of inflammation" is a result of three mechanisms: impaired iron regulation, shortened red blood cell life span, and reduced rate of erythropoiesis (a protein that helps make new red blood cells). Hepcidin, a protein made in the liver, regulates iron and is decreased when iron in the blood is low. This can lead to anemia. This research study is being conducted to learn how inflammation, hepcidin, and erythropoietin interact in critically ill patients. The findings will help in determining effective treatment for patients with anemia of inflammation.
