[The comprehensive diagnosis of changes in the stomach and small intestine in patients with chronic colitis]

Combined investigation of 121 patients with chronic colitis (CC) has shown chronic gastroduodenitis in 90.9% and the intestinal malabsorption syndrome in all the patients. Comparison of the frequency of intestinal malabsorption symptoms has shown that they are less marked in CC than in chronic enterocolitis with predominant intestinal lesion.
