Abstract
Upper gastrointestinal tract angiodysplasia is rare, but it is an important cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We experienced a case of hemorrhagic angiodysplasia of duodenal bulb in a patient under chronic hemodialysis due to chronic renal failure. Repeated upper GI endoscopy revealed an angiodysplasia at the posterior wall of the duodenal bulb. It was successfully treated by bipolar electrocoagulation. We report a case of angiodysplasia in chronic renal failure patient with the review of the literatures.
