    Abstract:
    Iron deficiency with and without anaemia is a common burden of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and has considerable impact on their quality of life and the ability to perform. The IBD working group of the Austrian Society of Gastroenterology and Hepatology developed five consensus statements on the following topics: (i) diagnosis of iron deficiency and (ii) anaemia, (iii) screening of iron deficiency, (iv) treatment of iron deficiency and (v) therapeutic goals. The clinical importance of intravenous iron replacement therapy in IBD with regard to effectiveness and compliance was discussed.
