title: [Emergency endoscopy in chronic liver diseases].
abstract: Emergency endoscopy has to be regarded as a method of high diagnostic value.

If endoscopic treatment possibilities in bleedings of the gastrointestinal tract continue to improve, the demonstration of an improvement in prognosis by emergency endoscopy seems to be merely a question of time.
