Abstrakt: Anemia of inflammation, as found in many chronic disease states, is common among persons with diabetic foot infections but is typically mild and self-limited. Herein we present four cases of patients with foot infections accompanied by severe anemia (nadir hemoglobin <8 gm/dL and resulting in transfusion of 4 + units of blood) as well as significant weight loss (30 + pounds), hyponatremia (<135 mmol/L), hypoalbuminemia (nadir <2 gm/dL), uremia and other metabolic derangements.
