Two of their patients with no gastrointestinal source of bleeding were later diagnosed as having transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. This might have been the cause of their anaemia and might have been detected by urine analysis, thus avoiding extensive gastrointestinal investigations. Some of their 14 undiagnosed patients might also have had a coagulation disorder. I have previously described an otherwise asymptomatic patient with Crohn's disease who hada gastrointestinal bleed due to vitamin K malabsorption.'Urine analysis and coagulation studies are less invasive and much cheaper than barium or endo-scopic studies. They should be performed in all cases of bleeding of obscure origin.
