Brief summary

Anemia is the the most frequently extradigestive symptom for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. This is due to iron deficiency and inflammation. Most of treatments aim to control inflammation using anti-TNF alpha therapy which should theorically reduce anemia. The aim of the study is to show that perfusion of iron associated to anti-TNF therapy should reduce anemia and improve quality of life of patients.

Interventions

DRUGFERRISAT

A single infusion of 50 mg/ml of Ferrisat during inclusion visit.

DRUGPLACEBO

A single infusion of Glucose 5% solution during inclusion visit
