Author(s): Sunil Thomas George*, N Anuradha, S Suresh Kanna and Srinivasarao Gopisetty
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is gastrointestinal bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, commonly defined as bleeding arising from the oesophagus, stomach, or duodenum. Blood may be observed in vomit or in altered form as black stool. Depending on the amount of the blood loss, symptoms may include shock. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding can be caused by peptic ulcers, gastric erosions, oesophageal varices, and rarer causes such as gastric cancer. The initial assessment includes measurement of the blood pressure and heart rate, as well as blood tests to determine the haemoglobin.details summary { cursor: pointer; color: ##fffff; } a { font-size: 11px; opacity: 0.5; }ReferencesCar Insurance in Ohio Blog | Places to Visit in Belgium..
