Laboratory Findings

Initial laboratory investigations includes complete blood count which may show microcytic hypochromic anemia due to iron deficiency, renal function tests, liver function tests and coagulation studies to diagnose any underlying medical condition like chronic kidney disease, end-stage kidney disease, congenital or acquired coagulation abnormalities.

Fecal occult blood testing is positive when bleeding is active. If bleeding is intermittent the test may be negative at times.
