    Summary

    Anemia frequently accompanies thyroid diseases, with mechanisms linking the two conditions remaining unclear. This review summarizes the prevalence, causes, and treatment of anemia in thyroid dysfunction.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Anemia is a common clinical condition associated with thyroid diseases, yet the causal relationship is not fully understood.
    • Thyroid hormones influence red blood cell production, while anemia can impact thyroid hormone levels, indicating a complex interplay.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive review of the prevalence, pathogenetic mechanisms, and therapeutic strategies for anemia in patients with thyroid diseases.
    • To highlight the clinical significance of considering thyroid dysfunction in the differential diagnosis of refractory anemia.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review synthesizing data on anemia associated with hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD).
    • Analysis of potential mechanisms including bone marrow depression, altered erythropoietin production, nutrient deficiencies, iron metabolism, and oxidative stress.

    Main Results:

    • Normocytic anemia is most common in hypothyroidism, potentially due to bone marrow issues or deficiencies. Hyperthyroidism-associated anemia may involve iron metabolism and oxidative stress.
    • Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) increases anemia risk through conditions like pernicious anemia, celiac disease, or autoimmune hemolytic syndrome.
    • Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) itself can lower hemoglobin levels independently of thyroid hormone status.

    Conclusions:

    • Thyroid dysfunction and AITD are crucial considerations in diagnosing unexplained or treatment-resistant anemia, especially with elevated red blood cell distribution width.
    • Understanding the multifaceted relationship between anemia and thyroid disease is essential for effective clinical management.
