The aim of this review is to explore the relationship among CRS, anemia and administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and summarize the evidence suggesting that RAS inhibition may be considered an iatrogenic cause of deterioration of CRS with anemia.
We initially evaluated 98 patients with advanced stable CHF who were treated with ACE inhibitors (left ventricular ejection fraction, 28+/-1%; age, 69+/-1 years; 80% male), 10 of whom had an unexplained anemia (normal hematinics and no renal failure).
A higher prevalence of anemia in CHF due to coronary heart disease may be associated with wider use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and acetylsalicylic acid.
We generated mice with a cardiomyocyte-targeted deletion of Irp1 and Irp2 to explore the functional implications of ID in the heart independent of systemic ID and anaemia.
The primary endpoint was SVR; secondary endpoints examined include (1) patient and graft survival; (2) effect of anti-viral therapy on liver histology (fibrosis and inflammation); (3) incidence of on-treatment development of ACR, CDR, or PCH; (4) association of recipient and donor IL28B genotype with SVR; and (5) incidence of anti-viral therapy-associated adverse events (anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, depression) and hepatic decompensation.
Only one-fifth of patients with SAH received RBC transfusions, mostly in cases of significant anemia (Hb < 80 g/L), and this did not appear to be associated with outcome.
Rac1 and Rac2 deficiency causes anemia with reticulocytosis, indicating decreased red blood cell (RBC) survival, altered actin assembly in the erythrocyte membrane skeleton and decreased RBC deformability.
Sirolimus plus nintedanib prevented vascular pathology in the oral mucosa, lungs, and liver of the BMP9/10ib mice, as well as significantly reduced gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia in inducible ALK1-deficient adult mice.
Hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is caused by mutations in a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS13) resulting in defective processing of von Willebrand factor (VWF) that causes intravascular platelet aggregation culminating in thrombocytopenia with shistocytic anemia.
Meanwhile, individuals with the EMR1rs373533 GT, EMR1rs461645 CT and RTN3 rs542998 (additive C) genotypes were more susceptible to hyperpyrexia while both females and males with the rs1050828 and rs1050829 SNPs of G6PD, respectively, were more vulnerable to anaemia.
Recovery from anemia and leukocytopenia after abstinence in Japanese alcoholic men and their genetic polymorphisms of alcohol dehydrogenase-1B and aldehyde dehydrogenase-2.
As angiotensin II regulates both glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and erythropoiesis, RAS inhibition can further deteriorate renal function and lower hematocrit or cause anaemia in patients with heart failure.
It is concluded from the present study that the reduction of angiotensin II by captopril might contribute to the worsening of anemia seen in chronic hemodialysis patients.
