What causes melena? Melena often results from damage to the upper GI tract lining, swollen blood vessels, or bleeding disorders. Peptic ulcer disease, which is characterized by painful ulcers or sores that develop in the stomach or small intestine, can result in melena.
Bleeding may be noted on the stool or be seen as blood on toilet paper or in the toilet. The blood may be bright red. The term "hematochezia" is used to describe this finding.
Melena, hematemesis, or hematochezia indicates that a potentially lethal situation may be developing. A 15% loss of blood volume is usually readily tolerated and compensated by contraction of large veins and recruitment of fluid from extravascular sites.
A digital rectal examination is essential to confirm the melena, as well as a full abdominal examination to assess for epigastric tenderness or peritonism, hepatomegaly, and for any stigmata of liver disease.
It is important to distinguish between dark stool from blood, known as melena, and dark stool from other causes, such as iron or bismuth. Liquid consistency, shininess, and foul smell are distinct features of melena.
me·le·na. (mĕ-lē'nă) Passage of tarry stools, due to the presence of blood altered by the intestinal juices. Compare: hematochezia.
