Availability of Blood Urea Nitrogen/Creatinine Ratio in Gastrointestinal Bleeding with Melena in Children
PURPOSE The aims of our study were to evaluate the blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio (BUN/Cr ratio) for distinguishing between an upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), and differentiating between the two most common causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) presenting with melena in children. METHODS Retrospective data of patients with GIB presenting with melena were a...
متن کاملUpper Gastrointestinal Tract Bleeding : Assessing
Various strategies can be used in the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding. This study investigates the relevance of anamnestic and clinical findings for the diagnosis of the bleeding source. The authors introduced a computer-aided diagnostic system using Bayes’ theorem and compared it with clinicians’ predictions using anamnestic and clinical findings only. There was no differenc...
متن کاملManagement of lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding.
Acute bleeding from the colon and rectum is less frequent and less dramatic than haemorrhage from the upper gastrointestinal tract. In most cases, bleeding from the colon and rectum is self-limiting and requires no specific therapy. Diverticula and angiectasias are the most frequent sources of bleeding. Malignancy, colitis (inflammatory bowel disease, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and ...
متن کاملAcute Gastrointestinal Tract Bleeding – Diagnosis and Intervention
Upper GI bleeding, defined as bleeding proximal to the ligament of Treitz and accounts for ~70% of all acute GI bleeding. Common aetiologies include erosion or ulcer, variceal bleeding and Mallory-Weiss tear. The diagnosis of upper GI bleeding is usually made on clinical grounds based on the history of haematemesis and malaena although rapid upper GI bleeding may also present with rectal bleedi...
متن کاملRisk score to predict gastrointestinal bleeding after acute ischemic stroke
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a common and often serious complication after stroke. Although several risk factors for post-stroke GIB have been identified, no reliable or validated scoring system is currently available to predict GIB after acute stroke in routine clinical practice or clinical trials. In the present study, we aimed to develop and validate a risk model (acute isch...
