摘要
Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common acute coronary vasculitis syndrome that mainly affects genetically susceptible kids under 5 years of age. Aside from the standard diagnostic five criteria, patients with KD may also experience a variety of nonspecific clinical symptoms and signs. Anemia is the most common clinical feature in KD patients. In 2001, the scientists have the discovery of a liver-derived peptide hormone named as hepcidin began revolutionizing the understanding of anemia’s relation to a number of inflammatory diseases, including KD. This chapter focuses on hepcidin-induced iron deficiency’s relation to transient hyposideremia, anemia, and disease outcomes in KD patients, and goes on to suggest possible routes of KD study.
