Liver congestion in heart failure contributes to inappropriately increased serum hepcidin despite anemia.
Hepcidin is a key regulator of mammalian iron metabolism and mainly produced by the liver. Hepcidin excess causes iron deficiency and anemia by inhibiting iron absorption from the intestine and iron release from macrophage stores. Anemia is frequently complicated with heart failure. In heart failure patients, the most frequent histologic appearance of liver is congestion. However, it remains un...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Anemia in Elderly With Systolic Heart Failure
Objectives: Anemia is prevalent in heart failures and is an independent risk factor for adverse clinical outcomes in patients with CHF. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of anemia in elderly with systolic heart failure hospitalized in Alborz Hospital of Karaj in 2009. Methods & Materials: This is a descriptive retrospective study that reviewed 154 medical records o...
متن کاملAdaptive response of the heart to long-term anemia induced by iron deficiency.
Anemia is common in patients with chronic heart failure and an independent predictor of poor prognosis. Chronic anemia leads to left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and heart failure, but its molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. We investigated the mechanisms, including the molecular signaling pathway, of cardiac remodeling induced by iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Weanling Sprague-Dawley r...
متن کاملPrevalence of abnormal liver biochemistry in chronic and acute decompensated heart failure and prognostic relevance beyond the heart: the ‘syndrome’ of heart failure and the role of ‘suffering’ organs
The high metabolic activity of the liver results in a high perfusion rate of 1 mL/g/min. Under resting conditions, this is about a quarter of the bodýs total blood supply. The oxygen-rich blood of the hepatic artery contributes to about a quarter of the total liver perfusion that may rise substantially under conditions of excessive oxygen demand. The complex blood supply makes the liver extraor...
متن کاملAnemia in patients with advanced heart failure.
BACKGROUND anemia is linked with worsening of progress in patients with heart failure (HF). However, there are few studies of anemia in patients with advanced HF. OBJECTIVE to evaluate the characteristics of anemia in HF at an advanced stage. METHODS the study included 99 patients, aged > 18 and LVEF < 45%, who were hospitalized for HF compensation (FC IV/NYHA). Patients with hemoglobin (Hb...
