Abstract

The clinical features, pathogenesis, and management of the rheumatic manifestations of various GI disorders are reviewed. The major categories included are intestinal disorders (enterohepatic arthritides, inflammatory bowel disease, and several other less common conditions), hepatitis (acute and chronic), and pancreatic diseases (carcinoma and pancreatitis). Historical background is provided where appropriate, and several recent observations and associations are described and discussed.
