Area of Science:

Endocrinology
Hematology

Background:

Thyroid hormones stimulate erythropoiesis and increase 2,3-DPG in erythrocytes, enhancing oxygen delivery.
Thyroid dysfunction is frequently associated with anemia, which can manifest in different forms.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the relationship between thyroid hormones and erythropoiesis.
To describe the types of anemia associated with thyroid diseases.
To highlight the importance of managing thyroid function in anemic patients.

Main Methods:

Literature review on thyroid hormones and hematologic status.
Analysis of anemia types in hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
Examination of the association between pernicious anemia and thyroid disorders.

Main Results:

Anemia is common in hypothyroidism (normocytic, hypochromic-microcytic, or macrocytic).
Anemia in hyperthyroidism is uncommon but can resemble that in hypothyroidism.
Pernicious anemia shows a strong association with hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroiditis.

Conclusions:

Restoring thyroid function is essential for correcting anemia.
Specific hematinic therapy may be required alongside thyroid treatment.
Continuous monitoring of hematologic status is vital for patients with thyroid disease.
