ANEMIA AND CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE

Screening people at risk and prescribing preventive and effective treatment will certainly change their prognosis.Through a literature review and personal experience the objectives of this work are:- specify the characteristics of anemia in patients with IBD;- detail the factors associated with the occurrence of anemia and its persistence in patients with IBD.
