Claim:
1. A method of treating anemia in a human patient, the method comprising: monitoring a hemoglobin level of the patient on a periodic basis; determining an anemic condition based on the hemoglobin level; determining one or more characteristics of the anemic condition; selecting electrical stimulation parameters of a neurostimulation device based on the one or more characteristics of the anemic condition; generating one or more stimulation signals to stimulate the patient's nervous system using the selected electrical stimulation parameters; monitoring at least one of an autonomic balance or an inflammatory state of the patient resulting from the neurostimulation using the selected electrical stimulation parameters; monitoring the patient's cardiac activity resulting from the neurostimulation using the selected electrical stimulation parameters; and adapting the stimulation parameters of the neurostimulation device based on at least the patient's cardiac activity.
