Summary

Background In practice, however, not all anaemic patients undergo appropriate diagnostic tests for the detection of iron deficiency anemia (IDA), and a significant portion of patients with IDA do not receive endoscopic evaluations. Accordingly, this study aimed to detect the prevalence of significant endoscopic (upper and lower endoscopy) and pathological findings in patients presenting with unexplained iron deficiency anaemia.

Methods One hundred twenty-four patients with confirmed IDA with no obvious cause who visited the Internal Medicine Clinic were randomly selected. Patients with active bleeding, pregnant or lactating females, or those with contraindications to sedation were excluded. Upper and lower endoscopy were held in the endoscopy unit of Specialized Medical Hospital and tissue biopsy from significant endoscopic findings was sent for histopathological examination.
