Abstrakt		Medical Department of Gastroenterology, Ljubljana, admits the majority of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding. The number of patients bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract has been on a constant increase recently. The site of bleeding is identified by gastroscopy. Of the 100.000 inhabitants each year, approx. 45 persons bled from duodenal or gastric ulcers. All patients with gastroscopically proven bleeding ulcers are treated by sclerotherapy. The highest mortality is observed in patients aged over 60 years, who present with other co-existing disorders precipitating the fatal outcome. Our statistics indicate that the indidence of bleeding from gastric or duodenal ulcers does not vary considerably over the year, with the exception of October when it is slightly increased. Haemorrhage from oesophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis of the liver is quite frequent and has a rather poor prognosis, especially in patients with C Stage cirrhosis as classified by Child. Bleeding from the large bowel occurs less frequently. The site of haemorrhage is determined by coloscopy. Bleeding from the small intestine is fairly rare. The diagnosis is made on the grounds of isotope-labelled erythrocyte studies and angiographic findings. Sometimes surgical treatment is required in these cases.
