Overt OGIB refers to visible bleeding (i.e. melena or hematochezia), whereas occult OGIB refers to cases of fecal occult blood positivity and/or unexplained iron deficiency anemia.
Melena refers to black, tar-like, sticky stools and usually results from upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The source of bleeding can come from damage to the lining of the GI tract, breakage of swollen blood vessels, or other conditions that prolong bleeding such as hemophilia.
Remember, hematochezia is caused by bleeding in your colon, which is fairly close to your anus. The blood only travels a short distance, so it's still fresh by the time it leaves your anus. You might notice it mixed in with your stool, though it can also come out separately.
Peptic ulcer disease is the most common cause of melena, and should be suspected in those with: Known active peptic ulcer disease.
Melena is considered a medical emergency because it is the result of heavy bleeding. Urgent care is needed to rule out serious causes and prevent life-threatening emergencies.
