    Diagnosing obscure lower gastrointestinal bleeding can be challenging. Liver-spleen imaging and a tagged red blood cell (RBC) study during active bleeding successfully identified the cause in a young man.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Recurrent lower gastrointestinal bleeding presents a diagnostic challenge.
    • Delayed diagnosis can lead to prolonged patient suffering and ineffective treatments.

    Observation:

    • A 26-year-old male experienced multiple episodes of lower gastrointestinal bleeding over four years.
    • Initial diagnostic efforts failed to identify the source of bleeding.

    Findings:

    • Liver-spleen imaging and a tagged red blood cell (RBC) study were crucial.
    • Performing the tagged RBC bleeding study during active bleeding facilitated diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the utility of nuclear imaging in diagnosing obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
