AB Gastrointestinal  (GI)  bleeding  accounts  for  a  significant  number  of  hospitalizations  every  year  with  a  median  length  of  stay  of  4  days  and  with  greater  than  30%  of  patients  requiring  intensive  care  unit  (ICU)  care.1  Early  diagnosis  of  the  cause  and  appropriate  intervention  can  significantly  reduce  ICU  and  hospital  stays  and  improve  morbidity  and  mortality.  This  chapter  focuses  on  a  discussion  of  the  differential  diagnosis  of  upper  and  lower  GI  bleeding  and  management  principles.
