The below-mentioned guidelines for the diagnosis and therapy of anaemia in IBD patients were generated by the Czech IBD Working Group (Czech Society for Gastroenterology of the Czech Medical Association of Jan Evangelista Purkyně) during a consensus meeting at Šiškův Mlýn near Telč in June 7-8, 2012. The guidelines are based on data coming from recent publications presented in the US and EU, which were broadly discussed in view of the local availability of the mentioned diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations.
The final recommended procedure follows the consensus of all members of the IBD Working Group. It presents the current preferred approach to resolving anaemia in IBD patients as well as a recommendation for following up these patients.
We hope that this document is a basic platform forthe current diagnostic and therapeutic regimen for anaemia in IBD patients.
