Abstract

Anemia is one of the most common disorders in elderly patients. The pathophysiology of anemia is the same in the young as well as the old. However, the common presence of multiorgan dysfunction or disease in elderly patients can alter the clinical presentation, response to treatment, and prognosis of anemia in this group.
