The ICD code K922 is used to code Gastrointestinal bleeding. Gastrointestinal bleeding (GI bleed), also known as gastrointestinal hemorrhage, is all forms of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the rectum. When there is significant blood loss over a short time, symptoms may include vomiting red blood, vomiting black blood, bloody stool, or black stool.
What are the symptoms of GI bleeding?
Treatment during a diagnostic procedure
Upper GIT bleeding is from the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum proximal to the ligament of Treitz. Lower GIT bleeding is distal to the ligament of Treitz and colon. Color of blood: In upper GI bleed the color depends on where the bleeding is.

ICD-10 code: K92. 2 Gastrointestinal haemorrhage, unspecified.
Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a symptom of a disorder in your digestive tract. The blood often appears in stool or vomit but isn't always visible, though it may cause the stool to look black or tarry. The level of bleeding can range from mild to severe and can be life-threatening.
Abnormally dark tarry feces containing blood (usually from gastrointestinal bleeding).

ICD-10 code: K57. 92 Diverticulitis of intestine, part unspecified, without perforation, abscess or bleeding.
Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is any type of bleeding that starts in your GI tract, also called your digestive tract. GI bleeding is a symptom of a disease or condition, rather than a disease or condition itself. Acute GI bleeding is sudden and can sometimes be severe.
GI bleeding can occur in any of these organs. If bleeding occurs in your esophagus, stomach, or initial part of the small intestine (duodenum), it's considered upper GI bleeding. Bleeding in the lower small intestine, large intestine, rectum, or anus is called lower GI bleeding.
Differential Diagnosis. Melena usually occurs as a result of an upper gastrointestinal bleed (rarely it can be due to bleeding in the small intestine or ascending colon). Upper GI haemorrhage has a number of causes, the most common of which are peptic ulcer disease, liver disease, and gastric cancer.
Black or tarry stools with a foul smell are a sign of a problem in the upper digestive tract. It most often indicates that there is bleeding in the stomach, small intestine, or right side of the colon. The term melena is used to describe this finding.
Melena is the passage of black, tarry stools. Hematochezia is the passage of fresh blood per anus, usually in or with stools.
There are many possible causes of GI bleeding, including hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, tears or inflammation in the esophagus, diverticulosis and diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, colonic polyps, or cancer in the colon, stomach or esophagus.
Forty patients died during the study; the median survival duration was 60 months after lower GI bleeding. The most common causes of death were sepsis, myocardial dysfunction, and cancer.
Often, GI bleeding stops on its own. If it doesn't, treatment depends on where the bleed is from. In many cases, medication or a procedure to control the bleeding can be given during some tests.
Symptoms also vary depending on how quickly you bleed. If sudden, massive bleeding happens, you may feel weak, dizzy, faint, short of breath, or have cramp-like belly pain or diarrhea. You could go into shock, with a rapid pulse and drop in blood pressure.
