Changes of erythropoiesis in case of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and urolithiasis comorbidity

Abstract

In comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and urolithiasis with oxalic acid stones changes of erythropoiesis were found in 78,3 % of patients, in particular – 52,2 % corresponded to mild iron-deficiency anemia and in 26,1 % of patients – chronic disease anemia or their combination. These changes were accompanied by likely reduction of blood erythropoietin within 2,9-3,5 times less (p<0,05).
