Hemoglobin, erythropoietin and systemic inflammation in exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

---

In this observational study we have shown that during admission for ECOPD Hb levels are
decreased and EPO levels are increased. We have also identified a negative association between Hb and EPO.
The above association is mainly related to increased IL-6 levels, indicating a possible EPO resistance through
the mechanism of increased systemic inflammatory process.
