  • Title: [Vascular changes of colonic mucosa as a cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis].
    Author: Romańczyk T, Rymarczyk G, Rybicka J, Nowak A.
    Journal: Wiad Lek; 1999; 52(5-6):311-5. PubMed ID: 10503049.
    Abstract:
    Gastrointestinal bleeding is the common complication of the portal hypertension. Endoscopy is the most accessible diagnostic technique, but the investigation is often limited to the endoscopy of upper gastrointestinal tract. Colonoscopy in the case of bleeding from the colon is often limited by the possibility of good bowel preparation to that procedure. However diagnostic colonoscopy in these cases increases chances for correct diagnosis and application of adequate treatment. Increasing number of gastrointestinal bleeding cases in the last decade causes the necessity of focusing on this problem.
