“…Diabetes mellitus along with serum creatinine level is one of the main reasons for the development of renal anemia of varying severity [33]. If there are signs of diabetic nephropathy, such as albuminuria and/or decreased kidney function, the risk of anemia increases significantly.…”

Anemia is a public health problem in almost all countries in the world, negatively affects human health,affects all sectors of the population and creates serious negative socio-economic consequences. The fact of anemiais the basis for stating a pathological condition that requires a nosological diagnosis with the identificationof the causes of anemia. The article presents a review of modern literature, covering the impact of endocrinepathology on the development of various types of anemia in humans. The importance of biologically activesubstances in normal erythropoiesis is described, the role of erythropoietin and the action of hormones of theendocrine glands on its formation are considered. Endocrine pathologies such as hypo- and hyperthyroidism,hypo- and hyperparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus, insufficiency of the pituitary, hypothalamus, sex glands,adrenal glands and features of the development of anemic conditions are discussed. An analysis of the literatureshowed that an increase or decrease in the function of individual endocrine glands leads to a disruption in theformation of erythropoietin, impaired absorption of iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 a nd, a s a r esult, i neffectiveerythropoiesis. Anemia negatively affects the course of the underlying disease, significantly worsening itsprognosis, and its treatment is more often effective only in conjunction with the adjustment of hormonal status.Despite significant progress in the study of the pathogenesis of anemia, the emergence of new scientific data onthe issues and mechanisms of regulation of erythropoiesis, classification options for anemia are still being discussed,the criteria for diagnosing a number of anemias and its combination with chronic diseases of endocrineand non-endocrine nature are being reviewed.

Background: Iron is an essential micronutrient found in red meat, vegetables, and dairy products. Iron deficiency (ID) is associated with poor growth and impaired cognitive development, lowered immunity with increased risk to infectious diseases, and reduced productivity. Objective: We determined some sociodemographic predictors of ID among secondary school students in Bauchi State, Northeastern Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of secondary school students in Bauchi State, Northeastern Nigeria. Four hundred and twenty (420) secondary school students were enrolled using stratified sampling with proportional allocation. Data on age, gender, and sociodemographic parameters were collated. Body mass indices (BMIs) were computed while blood was taken for hemoglobin concentration and iron status determination. Collated data were analyzed using JASP 0.11.1.0. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to adjust for possible confounders in the observed significant relationships. Level of significance was set at P ≤ 0.05. Results: The mean age of the students was 16.5 ± 1.9 years with females constituting 210 (50.0%). Median (interquartile range) monthly incomes for fathers and mothers were 150 (100, 200) USD and 50 (30, 70) USD, respectively. Median BMI and hemoglobin concentration (Hb) were 17.9 (16.4, 19.6) kg/m2 and 13.7 (12.7, 14.7) g/dL, respectively. Anemia was present in 62 (14.8%) participants, whereas ID was present in 213 (50.71%) participants. There was a statistically significant relationship between reduced intake of meat together with gender and iron status with females having a higher risk of having ID compared with males (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Female gender and decreased daily intake of meat are important predictors of ID among secondary school students in Bauchi State, Nigeria.
