Melaena (tarry stool) (s. p. 349) is defined as tarry, sticky stools resulting from the decomposition of blood by intestinal bacteria. The occurrence of melaena depends on the amount of blood and the time of gastrointestinal passage. Usually, melaena is only to be expected in lower gastrointestinal bleeding with a bleed-...

Reddish-brown stool is generally encountered in chronic recurrent lower gastrointestinal bleeding, mostly below the right part of the colon. [Pg.366]

Lower gastrointestinal bleeding is less frequent than upper gastrointestinal bleeding (15-20% vs. 80-85%). Consequently, the presence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding has to be excluded first - even in the case of severe anal passage of blood and/or in cases of haemochezia. (230, 238, 240, 247, 254)...

Lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to liver disease is very rare. The sources of bleeding develop in the course of portal hypertension. Intestinal erosions constitute the predominant mucosal changes in portal hypertensive vasculopathy in the gastrointestinal tract. They are usually responsible for the frequency of occult intestinal bleeding in cirrhosis patients. (232, 245)... [Pg.367]

The therapeutic measures for lower gastrointestinal bleeding correlate with the basic therapy for upper gastrointestinal bleeding with respect to volume replacement, circulatory stabilization, restoration of the electrolyte balance and intestinal cleansing. [Pg.367]
