In iron deficiency anemia ferritin is low. Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) is high in iron deficiency, reflecting production of more transferrin to increase iron binding; TIBC is low or normal in anemia of chronic inflammation. Treatment
The ideal treatment for anemia of chronic disease is to treat the chronic disease successfully, but this is rarely possible. Parenteral iron is increasingly used for anemia in chronic renal disease and inflammatory bowel disease.Erythropoietin can be helpful, but this is costly and may be dangerous. Erythropoietin is advised either in conjunction with adequate iron replacement which in practice is intravenous, or when IV iron has proved ineffective.Limiting some microbes access to iron can reduce their virulence, thereby potentially reducing the severity of infection. Blood transfusion to patients with anemia of chronic disease is associated with a higher mortality, supporting the concept. See also

Delayed pressure urticaria is known as one of the more painful subsets of physical urticaria due to formed hives being deep-seated and appearing after 4–6 hours. Causes
Due to the delayed appearance of wheals, plausible causes are hard to establish; the natural course and/or clinical pattern is variable and inconclusive. Treatment
It was noted that although antihistamines and anti-inflammatory drugs such as, colchicine, sulphasalazine, dapsone, and topical steroid are advocated for in the treatment of DPU, most if not all are unsatisfactory in relieving symptoms. Even a second generation antihistamine, ketotifen, was unable to efficiently and satisfactorily relieve symptoms of DPU
