Anyone have a suggested mechanism for why this 71 yr. old man came in with a slightly low hematocrit?

check out the acute-phase reaction article, the shan-man has a link in the "sepsis terminology" section. you should find your answer there.

I still think his hematocrit is unremarkable. It's on the low side of normal. Probably not a big deal.
