The use of fibre-optic endoscopy has greatly facilitated the management of some patients with chronic liver disease. Upper endoscopy plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of oesophageal and gastric varices. With the use of reflectance septrophotometry, gastroduodenal mucosal haemoglobin concentration and oxygen saturation can be more precisely measured. Recently, it has been show...

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a capillary-type vascular malformation located primarily in the gastric antrum. Patients can present with iron-deficiency anemia, overt gastrointestinal bleeding, or both.
