Abstract

Lower gastrointestinal (LGI) bleeding indicates bleeding from colon or anorectum. Typically, patients with LGI bleeding present with bright red blood per rectum or hematochezia, although rarely they can present with melena as well. Alternatively, LGI bleeding is also defined as bleeding from a source within potential reach of a colonoscope, that is, colon and terminal ileum. LGI bleedings have more favorable outcomes than upper GI (UGI) bleeding and less common than UGI bleeding. Any patient presenting with GI bleeding should undergo a detailed history and physical examination for clues that may suggest source and possible etiology. Colonoscopy remains the most widely used and preferred instrument of choice for both diagnosis and therapy. This review will discuss in brief the causes, triaging, and role of colonoscopy in the management of LGI bleeding.
下消化道出血
下消化道出血表示结肠或肛门直肠出血。通常,LGI出血患者表现为直肠或便血呈鲜红色,尽管他们很少也会出现黑便。或者,LGI出血也被定义为结肠镜潜在范围内的出血源,即结肠和末端回肠。LGI出血比上消化道出血有更有利的结果,并且比UGI出血更不常见。任何出现胃肠道出血的患者都应该接受详细的病史和体检,以寻找可能提示来源和可能病因的线索。结肠镜检查仍然是诊断和治疗中最广泛使用和首选的仪器。这篇综述将简要讨论结肠镜检查在LGI出血治疗中的原因、分型和作用。
