title: [Chronic anemia in inflammatory bowel diseases: review].
abstract: Chronic anemia has been considered as an overlooked complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However it deserves full attention since even mild to moderate anemia has significant impact on quality of life. During the past decade relevant progress has been made in the understanding and treatment of this pathology. In our review, we focus on frequency, mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment of anemia in IBD.
