Abstract:
The paper considers the causes of iron- and cyanobalamin-deficiency anemias caused by gastrointestinal tract (GT) diseases, among which malabsorption along with loss of these nutrients through the GT is of great importance. The paper reflects the current views of the pathogenesis of deficiency anemias that develop in gluten-sensitive celiac disease and atrophic gastritis. Among the atrophic gastritides, there are two forms caused by autoimmune processes and long-term Helicobacter pylori persistence, whose treatment is an effective measure in refractory anemia. The paper gives the provisions of the Russian Gastroenterology Association Guidelines (2012) for the management of H. pylori infection, which are based on Maastricht IV consensus (2010).

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
