Overview

Inflammatory cytokines induce increased amounts of hepcidin by the liver. Hepcidin blocks ferroportin from releasing iron from the body stores. Inflammatory cytokines also decrease ferroportin expression and stops erythropoiesis by increasing bone marrow erythropoietin resistance. Apart from iron sequestration, white blood cells production is promoted by inflammatory cytokines. Bone marrow stem cells produce both red blood cells and white blood cells cells. Therefore, the upregulation of white blood cells causes fewer stem cells to differentiate into red blood cells. This may also have a role in inhibition of erythropoiesis, even when erythropoietin levels are normal, and aside from the effects of hepcidin.

Pathophysiology

Cytokines

Activated monocytes release cytokines like the interleukins (eg, IL-1 and IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha). These cytokines activate a cascade of reactions leading to the secretion of interferon (IFN)-beta and IFN-gamma by T lymphocytes leading to increased resistance of bone marrow to EPO.[9][10]

Hepcidin

Hepcidin is directly involved in iron metabolism and a component of the innate immune response to acute infection. It decreases the absorption of iron from small intestine, from placenta and from macrophages as well, secondary to its effect on internalization and degradation of the iron export protein ferroportin.[11][12][13][14]
