Background and Causes of Iron Deficiency Anemia

Panelists discuss how chronic kidney disease leads to iron deficiency anemia through a complex interplay of impaired iron absorption, increased hepcidin production driven by inflammatory cytokines, and reduced erythropoietin synthesis, resulting in both functional and absolute iron deficiency alongside diminished red blood cell production.
