急性下消化道(gastrointestinal,GI)出血的临床表现较广,包括小出血至引起血流动力学不稳定的大出血。下消化道出血的发生率约为上消化道出血的 1/5,每年每 100,000 成人中约有 20-33 例因下消化道出血住院治疗。[1]Longstreth GF.

下消化道出血的发生率随着年龄的增长而升高。
在发达国家/地区,导致严重失血的急性下消化道出血的常见原因为结肠憩室病和血管发育不良。需要快速识别和积极复苏有严重出血或显著共病状态的患者。痔和结肠肿瘤可能频繁导致无血流动力学意义的出血。罕见的出血病因包括孤立性直肠溃疡、血管炎和子宫内膜异位症。15% 表现为下消化道出血的患者在检查后发现存在上消化道出血源。[3]Sengupta N, Feuerstein JD, Jairath V, et al.

结肠镜检查是已排除肛门直肠或上消化道病因患者的主要评估手段。该检查可定位出血源,并且能止血。对于多数病例,内镜止血能取得成功。肠系膜血管造影术或核医学影像检查仅用于无法接受结肠镜检查或存在持续出血且结肠镜检查结果呈阴性的患者。高达 25% 的患者无法明确出血源。[5]Rockey DC. Lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Gastroenterology. 2006 Jan;130(1):165-71.
