    Journal: Nihon Rinsho; 2008 Mar; 66(3):530-3. PubMed ID: 18326321.
    Abstract:
    Anemia is often observed in digestive diseases such as gastroduodenal ulcers, esophageal varices, atrophic gastritis, malignant neoplasms, inflammatory bowel diseases, gastrectomy, malabsorption syndrome, and liver diseases. Anemia in these digestive diseases is caused by bleeding, iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency including pernicious anemia, chronic inflammation (anemia of chronic disorders), malnutrition, hypersplenism. Especially in case of gastrointestinal bleeding, double balloon enteroscopy has been recently introduced to contribute to the diagnosis and treatment as well as gastroendoscopy and colonoscopy. In the treatment of digestive disease with anemia, it is important to treat digestive diseases appropriately. In treatment of patients with anemia of unknown origin, examinations about digestive diseases should be considered.
