'''Anemia of chronic disease''', increasingly referred to as "anemia of inflammation", is a form of [[anemia]] seen in chronic illness, e.g. from chronic infection, chronic immune activation, or malignancy.  New discoveries suggest that the syndrome is likely primarily the result of the body's production of [[hepcidin]], a master regulator of [[human iron metabolism]].
