Gastrointestinal bleeding or gastrointestinal hemorrhage describes every form of hemorrhage (loss of blood) in the gastrointestinal tract, from the pharynx to the rectum.
Gastrointestinal bleeding can be roughly divided into two clinical syndromes: upper gastrointestinal bleeding (from a source between the pharynx and the ligament of Treitz) and lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
