What color is blood in stool?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You might see blood mixed with stool or blood at the end of passage of stool and even dark or black stools. Bright red blood usually indicates bleeding that's low in either colon, rectum or anus. Dark red or maroon blood indicates bleeding that's higher in the colon or small intestine. Dark stools indicate that bleeding from stomach most probably an ulcer. Sometimes, you may observe loose stools mixed with streaks of blood which is seen in infections like dysentry.

View allMy doctors did a barium swallow x-ray and found I have esophagus spasms in the lower part, around 10 cm. They suggested dilation to clear it, but because of the narrowing, there's a risk of damage or a tear, which might need surgery. I'm not sure if I should go ahead with the procedure in my city, Ranchi, or seek treatment somewhere else. What would be the safer option given the risks?

I'm really worried about my ALTSGPT level, which is at 65 UL, and my creatinine is 0.64 mgdL, with chloride at 100 mEqL. Are there any complications I should be aware of with these levels? Should I be thinking about getting more tests done, or maybe making some changes to my diet? Any advice would be really appreciated.
don't worry it's not more than excess

I'm really worried about my wife's kidney function test results. Her SGPT is at 322, SGOT is 206, GGT is 235, and ALP is 379. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean and what we should do next?
The elevated liver enzymes (SGPT, SGOT, GGT, and ALP) indicate liver damage or inflammation, potentially due to hepatitis, fatty liver, or other conditions; schedule an immediate consultation with a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss further testing (e.g., liver ultrasound, hepatitis screening), lifestyle modifications (e.g., diet, exercise), and possible treatment options to address the underlying cause.
