Anemia Before and After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Prevalence and Evolution on Long-Term Follow-up

The cause of anemia must be determined in order to use the best treatment available. We observed a reduction in the prevalence of chronic disease anemia during long-term follow-up probably due to the improvement in the systemic inflammatory state.
