Abstract:
The records of the patients over 65 years undergoing jejunal biopsy in two Liverpool gastroenterology units were obtained. Biopsy failed in four of the 52 cases, diagnostic yield was 12% and only appeared to be of value in confirming the diagnosis of gluten-sensitive enteropathy (adult coeliac disease).
