Abstract:
Obstructive pulmonary disease (OPD) is a progressive and chronic respiratory disease
that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Anemia is a common comorbidity in
patients with OPD, which has been associated with a poorer prognosis and worse clinical outcomes. This
paper aims to review the current evidence on the influence of anemia on the course of OPD and to identify
potential mechanisms underlying this association.
