Impact of anemia on functional state of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Catedra Medicină Internă nr.1 USMF „Nicolae Testemiţanu”Haemoglobin (Hb) abnormalities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are not well studied. We investigated the prevalence and association of abnormal Hb with clinical outcomes. Anemia in COPD was an independent risk factor for reduced functional capacity. Polycythemia prevalence was low. Cantităţi anormale ale hemoglobinei în bronhopneumopatia cronică obstructivă (BPCO) sunt puţin studiate. Noi am investigat prevalenţa şi asocierea nivelului anormal cu unele variabile clinice. Anemia a fost factor independent de risc pentru reducerea capacităţii funcţionale. Plevalenţa policitemiilor a fost mică
