View through CrossRef
The most frequent presenting complaints suggesting gastrointestinal disease are diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and abdominal pain, which can localize to any of the quadrants of the abdomen observed from the front. Loss of weight is a feature of some gastrointestinal diseases, and general symptoms such as fever, malaise, and arthralgia may also occur. According to the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), alarm symptoms include unintentional weight loss, dysphagia, chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, iron deficiency anaemia, an abdominal mass, and/or persistent vomiting.
