Anemia is prevalent in 90% of pulmonary tuberculosis patients, demonstrating a significant correlation with iron indices.
Patients exhibited lower levels of hemoglobin, serum iron, total iron binding capacity, and transferrin saturation compared to healthy controls.
The research identifies anemia of chronic disease as the most common type among tuberculosis patients, rather than iron deficiency.
These findings highlight the complex role of iron metabolism in tuberculosis and suggest ferritin as a key metric for differentiating types of anemia.
