Abstract

       Introduction: One of the effects of being positive for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the deficiency of serum iron levels. For positive patients, H. pylori causes various pathological conditions that reduce the amount of HCl in the stomach, leading to decreased iron levels, as most iron requires the low pH in the stomach for proper metabolism. The proportion of H. pylori-positive patients recorded with anemia is about 36.6% (85/232 patients).


     Objectives: (1) To investigate the characteristics of patients positive for H. pylori and anemia.
(2) To analyze the correlation between anemia and H. pylori infection. Subjects and Methods: 232 patients who tested positive for H. pylori through endoscopy results, stored at the Endoscopy Department of An Binh Hospital, from July 2023 to December 2023. The research method is retrospective. Results: Among 232 patients infected with the bacteria, 85 patients tested positive for anemia (36.64%), with a high proportion of patients experiencing mild anemia, accounting for approximately 56.5%. Conclusion: Factors in H. pylori-infected patients, including gender, age, number of ulcers, and comorbid conditions, are statistically correlated with the occurrence of anemia
