Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased prevalence of anemia, according to a new study published in Dermatology.
In this retrospective study, researchers sought to assess anemia and systemic inflammation biomarkers in HS and IBD patients with perianal lesions. They conducted a retrospective chart analysis on 212 patients with perianal disease (72 with HS, 78 with IBD, and 62 with both HS and IBD) who were evaluated at Mayo Clinic between 1998 and 2021.
According to the researchers, 45.8% of males and females in the HS group were anemic, compared to 58.1% of males and 73.5% of females in the IBD group. The researchers observed that the HS + IBD group had the highest prevalence of anemia and the lowest hemoglobin levels. “Our data show for the first time the prevalence of anemia in patients with HS and IBD who have perianal lesions,” the researchers concluded.
