BACKGROUND AND AIMS Our study evaluated the prevalence, the characteristics and implications of the upper gastrointestinal localisation (UGI+) in paediatric Crohn's Disease (CD) patients. METHODS This prospective study evaluated 45 newly diagnosed CD patients at diagnosis and follow up with respect to CD localisation. RESULTS All patients presented CD at the colon and/or ileum.

Addisonian pernicious anaemia is largely a disease of the middle-aged and elderly with only 2-6% of cases diagnosed below the age of 30 years (Chanarin, 1979). Patients usually attend their physician with symptoms suggestive of anaemia or glossitis although other symptoms may become apparent on close questioning. We describe a case of pernicious anaemia in a young man presenting solely with upp...

Endoscopy methods involve diagnostics as well as therapy. Endoscopic techniques have a small but definite incidence of complication, so endoscopy should not be performed routinely but only on the basis of indication. The typical endoscopic procedures used in diagnostics and therapy of liver cirrhosis are endoscopy of upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. Other techniques are less common. Sign...

BACKGROUND Impaired kidney function is an established predictor of mortality after acute nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB); however, which factors are associated with mortality after ANVUGIB among patients undergoing dialysis is unknown. We examined the associations among demographic characteristics, dialysis-specific features, and comorbid conditions with short-term mortali...

INTRODUCTION Our aim was to determine the frequency of peptic ulcer and Helicobacter pylori infection by gastrointestinal evaluations in pretransplantation phase in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four children with ESRD (13 girls and 11 boys) with a mean age of 14.7 +/- 3.4 years on maintenance hemodialysis were included in this study. Upper gastroi...

OBJECTIVE Inequalities in health are well recognized in cardiovascular disease and cancer, but in comparison, we have minimal understanding for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Since furthering our understanding of such inequality signposts preventable disease, we investigated in detail the association between upper gastrointestinal bleeding and socioeconomic status. DESIGN Population-based c...

This letter has two purpose: First, evaluate the correlation between our endoscopic findings of gastric amyloidosis with previous report of Vargas et al. Second, draw attention to the fact that amyloidosis may occur upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Impaired kidney function is a risk factor for upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, an event associated with poor outcomes. The burden of upper GI bleeding and its effect on patients with ESRD are not well described. Using data from the US Renal Data System, we quantified the rates of occurrence of and associated 30-day mortality from acute, nonvariceal upper GI bleeding in patients undergoing ...
