Introduction Chronic liver disease (CLD) is commonly associated with anaemia. Whilst varices represent the commonest cause of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with CLD, in patients where iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) persist, capsule endoscopy (CE) may have a useful role to investigate the ...
