Acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage, especially in the upper gastrointestinal tract, is the most frequent cause of bleeding after AKI (18). The incidence of short-term acute gastrointestinal bleeding in hospital stay varies widely in patients with AKI, ranging from 13.4% to 26% (18, 19).

Aim: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a very frequently encountered condition that has a high morbidity and which increases treatment costs. Duration of hospital stay and mortality increases in patients with UGIB complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI).

Patients with acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding commonly present with hematemesis (vomiting of blood or coffee-ground-like material) and/or melena (black, tarry stools), though patients with large-volume upper GI bleeding may also present with hematochezia (red or maroon blood with stool).
