The Hidden Causes and Links Between GI Bleeding and Low Haemoglobin

This presentation explores the connection between gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and low hemoglobin, showing how internal blood loss can cause anemia, fatigue, and weakness. It covers common causes like ulcers and colorectal issues and explains key diagnostic methods such as blood tests, stool analysis, and endoscopy. With timely gastrointestinal testing in Dubai, patients can detect bleeding sources early and protect long-term digestive and overall health.<br><br>For more details, check out the website now: https://www.fml-dubai.com/respiratory-and-gastrointestinal-panels/

  1. The Hidden Causes and Links Between GI Bleeding and Low Haemoglobin

  2. Introduction Low haemoglobin, often seen as fatigue, weakness, or pale skin, can sometimes be a hidden indicator of internal blood loss from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Recognising this connection through haematology tests in Dubai helps identify the underlying cause and ensures timely treatment before complications arise.

  3. How GI Bleeding Leads to Low Haemoglobin GI bleeding can occur anywhere along the digestive tract —from the oesophagus to the rectum. Even small but chronic bleeding can lower haemoglobin levels over time, leading to anaemia. Low haemoglobin reduces oxygen transport, causing tiredness, dizziness, and shortness of breath.

  4. Common Causes of GI Bleeding 01 03 02 Occult Ulcers Internal bleeding may be hidden; stool appears normal. Common cause of upper GI bleeding, painful sores. Gastritis Inflammation of the stomach lining, causing bleeding.

  5. Diagnostic Approach Early diagnosis combines gastrointestinal testing in Dubai with advanced blood assessments to find both the source and its impact. Tests Include: Blood Tests (CBC): Measure haemoglobin and red blood cells Stool Tests (FIT/FOBT): Detect hidden blood in stool Endoscopy & Colonoscopy: Visualise ulcers, lesions, or tumours Capsule Endoscopy / CT Scans: Identify small intestine bleeding sites

  6. Advanced Diagnostic Insights Some specialised laboratories use molecular diagnostics, such as exome sequencing, to detect inherited or rare gastrointestinal disorders linked to recurrent bleeding or abnormal clotting. These advanced tests support precise treatment planning for chronic or unexplained anaemia.aemia.

  7. When to Seek Help: Key Symptoms 01 03 02 Dizziness Fatigue Shortness of breath can signal urgent medical concerns Persistent tiredness may indicate serious health issues Stools Dark, tar-like stools suggest possible internal bleeding

  8. Conclusion GI bleeding and low haemoglobin are closely connected, often progressing silently. Through comprehensive haematology tests and gastrointestinal testing in Dubai, patients can identify the cause early, restore haemoglobin levels, and protect their long-term digestive health.
