How does diclofenac influence the risk of anemia and what mechanisms contribute to this hematological side effect?
Diclofenac can increase the risk of anemia primarily by causing gastrointestinal bleeding, which leads to iron deficiency. Additionally, it may impair kidney function, affecting erythropoietin production.
