Studies show there is a clear association between the presence of anemia and what disease complication affecting the foot 

Diabetic foot ulcers

400

Unlike its primary counterpart, this type of bone disorder is caused by underlying conditions such as hematological diseases.

Secondary Osteoporosis

400

Along with iron deficiency, this process is one of the most frequent causes of anemia, disrupting iron homeostasis.

autoimmune activation

400

Cerebellar ataxia resembling MS is the most characterized neurological manifestation of this GI disorder

Celiac Disease
