Causes
Conditions that can lead to anemia of chronic disease include:
- Autoimmune disorders, such as Crohn's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis

- Liver cirrhosis
- Long-term infections, such as bacterial endocarditis, osteomyelitis (bone infection), HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B or hepatitis C
- Your body may not store and use iron normally.
- Less production of erythropoietin (EPO) by kidneys
- Resistance of bone marrow to EPO.
- Decreased half life of red blood cells.
- Hospitalized for severe acute infections, trauma, or other conditions that cause inflammation.
