Assessment of Anemia in Correlation with Inflammatory Status in Patients with Intestinal Transit Disorders

The intestinal transit disorders are polymorphic clinical manifestations requiring complex differential diagnosis and a multidisciplinary medical team.

A major challenge for the clinician is the differentiation of patients with organic suffering versus functional disorder.

Anemia is the most common extra-digestive manifestation of intestinal inflammatory diseases.

We have evaluated biologically and by imaging patients with diarrhea and alternating diarrhea/constipation without including infectious causes. We plan to determine in these patients the status and type of anemia, as well as its correlation with local and systemic inflammation.
