Anemia is usually present early in life because of insufficient iron supply to the erythron.
Hereditary hemochromatosis: genetic complexity and new diagnostic ... by Swinkels, Dorine W.; Janssen, Mirian C.H.; Bergmans, Jurgen; Marx, Joannes J.M. / Clinical Chemistry
In systemic-onset juvenile chronic arthritis, high circulating concentrations of IL-6 have been shown to be associated with defective iron supply to the erythron and microcytic anemia that responds to intravenous iron (23).
Iron deficiency and erythropoiesis: new diagnostic approaches by Brugnara, Carlo / Clinical Chemistry
It is likely that at early stages of iron deficiency, before the development of anemia, the impaired iron supply to the erythron produces transient bouts of iron-deficient erythropoiesis, which lead to a shift in the distribution of CHr to lower values and to the appearance of hypochromic cells.
A hematologic "gold standard" for iron-deficient states? by Brugnara, Carlo / Clinical Chemistry
