===Haematology and Biochemistry===

===Laboratory Test===

 

Haematology often reveals a microcytic, hypochromic anaemia from chronic bleeding to the gastrointestinal tract. The loss of whole blood may also lead to hypoproteinemia on routine biochemistry. Electrolyte abnormalities may bee seen with intestinal obstruction, and blood urea nitrogen may be raised due to absorbtion following intestinal bleeding or dehydration. A test for faecal occult blood may be positive.

* Raised BUN - may be due to concurrent renal insufficiency, dehydration or absorption following intestinal bleeding
