Insights into the diagnosis and management of iron deficiency in inflammatory bowel disease.
Expert Review of Hematology 2017 September
INTRODUCTION: Iron deficiency is a frequent comorbidity of chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease that can severely impact the health and quality of life of affected individuals. It can exist as a silent condition and manifest in non-specific symptoms even in the absence of anemia. Even though iron deficiency anemia is the most common complication and extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease, the majority of inflammatory bowel disease patients who are diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia are not treated. Areas covered: In this review, we discuss iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, and review diagnostic and therapeutic options. Expert commentary: We invite international gastroenterological societies and associations to refine the practice guidelines and include iron deficiency as a potential morbidity associated with IBD in analogy to arthritis, uveitis or any other extra intestinal manifestations. There should a more unanimous agreement among different societies on the specific diagnostic cutoff values for C-reactive protein levels, serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation in order to differentiate iron deficiency anemia from anemia of chronic disease.
