Zusammenfassung

Das diesjährige Symposium der AG Anämie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Geriatrie (DGG) hatte das Ziel, die Multikausalität der Anämie im höheren Lebensalter zu verdeutlichen und Parallelen mit der Definition geriatrischer Syndrome herauszuarbeiten. Dafür wurden sowohl nutritive als auch maligne Anämieursachen diskutiert als auch Hypothesen zur Einflussnahme von oxidativem Stress auf die Anämieentwicklung hervorgehoben. Der Bedarf an weiterführender Forschung konnte am Beispiel perioperativer Therapiestrategien bei älteren Menschen verdeutlicht werden.

Abstract

This year’s symposium of the working group anemia of the German Geriatric Society (DGG) aimed to underline the multicausality of anemia in the aged and to highlight definition parallels with geriatric syndromes. For these reasons, nutritional and malignant causes for anemia were discussed and the influence of oxidative stress on the development of anemia was underlined. The need for ongoing research in the field of anemia in the aged was emphasized by the lack of perioperative transfusion strategies in geriatric patients.
