Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Although polycythemia has been considered a common adverse event in COPD, anemia is reported more often and has gained more importance than polycythemia over the last thirty years.
AREAS COVERED: Factors considered to be associated with the development of anemia in COPD have included: Aging and kidney dysfunction with erythropoietin deficiency and bone marrow suppression due to uremic toxins; heart failure (HF), often encountered in COPD and accompanied by anemia in one-third of the cases; Low-grade chronic inflammation, directly suppressing bone marrow and diminishing iron absorption and utilization via increased hepcidin levels; long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT), ameliorating chronic hypoxia, and most important, RAS inhibitors, which are widely used for the comorbidities associated with COPD (hypertension, HF, CKD, diabetes) and have previously been shown to lower hematocrit values or cause anemia in various clinical conditions.
EXPERT OPINION: Introduction of LTOT in COPD and especially the established use of RAS inhibitors form the basis for the shift from polycythemia to anemia in COPD. Interestingly, when the SGLT2 inhibitors are introduced for cardiorenal protection in COPD, one could anticipate correction of anemia or even reemergence of polycythemia, since this new class of drugs can augment erythropoietin secretion and increase hematocrit values.
