What does low blood count indicate in rheumatoid arthritis?

Anaemia of chronic diseaseRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a 'systemic' disease- that is to say that it affects your whole body, not just the joints. Often, patients suffering from RA have a low haemoglobin level (also referred to as a low blood count) due to the substances released into the bloodstream and around the body having effects on the metabolism of iron and the manufacture of red blood cells in the bone marrow.As such, low blood count tends to signify that your RA and the inflammation associated with it is fairly active at the moment. It is likely that with treatment of the RA the low blood count (anaemia, low hamoglobin) will improve.
