Abstract

Anaemia is a common multifactorial extraintestinal manifestation in IBD patients. Moreover, anaemia represents an important health problem among the elderly population and has a significant impact on healthcare utilisation and costs. Data on the prevalence, diagnosis and management of anaemia in elderly IBD patients are scarce, since clinical trials have largely excluded this population. In this review, we reconsider anaemia in older IBD patients in the light of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
