Overview
Angiodysplasia must be differentiated from other diseases that cause hematochezia, melena, and iron deficiency anemia, such as hemorrhoids, diverticular disease, and colon cancer.
Differentiating Angiodysplasia from other Diseases
Angiodysplasia must be differentiated from other diseases that cause hematochezia, melena, and iron deficiency anemia such as:
| Diseases | Clinical manifestations | Para-clinical findings | Gold standard | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Symptoms | Physical examination | |||||||||||
| Lab Findings | Imaging | Histopathology | ||||||||||
| Abdominal pain | Lower GI Bleed | Changes in bowel habits, weight loss | Characteristic physical examination findings | Pertinent laboratory findings | Imaging 1 | Imaging 2 | Imaging 3 | |||||
| Diverticulitis[1][2][3][4] | + | + | - | Left lower quadrant abdominal tenderness, fever | Leukocytosis, elevated ESR and CRP | Radiological test of choice - CT of abdomen and pelvis with contrast | Abdominal Ultrasound | MRI abdomen | Colonoscopy after resolution of inflammation | |||
| Hemorrhoids[5][6][7][8][9] | - (anal pain) | + | - | Skin tags, fistulas/fissures, prolapsed hemorrhoid | Complete blood count may show iron deficiency anemia | External hemorrhoids - distal to dentate line.
Internal hemorrhoids - proximal to dentate line. |
Anoscopy | |||||
| Colon cancer[10][11][12][13][14][15] | +/- | +/- | + | Lmyphadenopathies, abdominal mass, hepatomegaly (metastasis) | Complete blood count - iron deficiency anemia, tumor marker - CEA, methylated circulating DNA markers | CT with contrast chest, abdomen and pelvis | Majority of colorectal cancers are carcinomas. | Colonoscopy | ||||
| Massive upper GI bleed[16][17][18] | + | + | - | Hemodynamic instability, upper abdominal tenderness, pale skin | Acute bleeding - normocytic anemia | Elevated BUN-to-Creatinine ratio >30:1 | CT angiography | Endoscopy | ||||
| Inflammatory bowel disease[19][20][21][22] | + | +/- | + | Tachycardia, fever, occult blood on digital rectal exam, anal fistulas | Microcytic anemia | Leukocytosis | Elevated ESR, CRP | Abdominal X ray - free air, bowel obstruction, toxic megacolon | Barium studies | Ultrasound/CT/MRI | UC- crypt abscess
Crohn's- transmural involvement, granulomas |
Endoscopy |
| Angiodysplasia[23][24][25][26] | - | Occult | - | Signs of anemia, systolic ejection murmur (if aortic stenosis), rarely, orthostasis or hypotension | Microcytic anemia | Renal and liver function tests | Coagulation studies | Radionuclide scanning | CTA/MRA | Upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy | Tortuous, dilated veins, venules and capillaries in the colonic mucosa and submucosa | Endoscopy |
