Anemia of chronic disease is defined as anemia occurring in chronic infections and inflammatory conditions that is not caused by marrow deficiencies or other diseases and in the presence of adequate iron stores and vitamins. Periodontitis is a chronic infectious condition of the supporting tissues of the teeth caused by subgingival microbial colonization in susceptible hosts. This study determines the correlation between signs of anemia and chronic periodontitis.
A total of 60 systemically healthy male patients, mean age 38 years, were included in the study. Of these, 30 patients were healthy controls and 30 patients had severe periodontitis. Red blood cell parameters were evaluated from peripheral blood samples.
Data analysis shows that patients with chronic periodontitis had lower values of hematocrit, number of erythrocytes, and hemoglobin compared to healthy controls.
Results of the present study show that patients suffering from chronic periodontitis have a lower number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin compared to healthy controls. Thus, based on these results it can be concluded that, like any other chronic condition, chronic periodontitis can lead to anemia.
慢性病性贫血是指在慢性感染和炎症状态下发生的贫血，其不是由骨髓缺陷或其他疾病引起的，且体内铁储备和维生素充足。牙周炎是一种由龈下微生物定植于易感宿主引发的牙齿支持组织的慢性感染性疾病。本研究旨在确定贫血与慢性牙周炎之间的相关性。
本研究共纳入 60 名系统性健康的男性患者，平均年龄为 38 岁。其中，30 名患者为健康对照组，30 名患者患有严重牙周炎。外周血样本的红细胞参数进行了评估。
数据分析显示，与健康对照组相比，患有慢性牙周炎的患者的血细胞比容、红细胞数量和血红蛋白值较低。
本研究结果表明，与健康对照组相比，患有慢性牙周炎的患者的红细胞和血红蛋白数量较低。因此，基于这些结果可以得出结论，像任何其他慢性疾病一样，慢性牙周炎也可能导致贫血。
