Is jejunal biopsy valuable in the elderly?

B D Linaker, J Calam.   

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).
