Upper GI Bleeding

Also known as gastrointestinal hemorrhage (GIH) Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding is the bleeding from the upper GI tract, i.e., esophagus, stomach, or duodenum.

Our digestive system works through various parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, and anus. All these parts work in synergy to break down nutrients in a closed system without any blood flow within the tract.
