Cuando se produce la ruptura de la integridad de la superficie interna en cualquier parte del tubo digestivo, independientemente de la enfermedad que lo afecta, se origina la salida de sangre hacia la luz intestinal.
Cuando esta sangre llega a la boca (hematemesis) o al orificio anal (melena si es oscura como borra de café o enterorragia si es roja rutilante), se habla - desde el punto de vista clínico o biológico- de SD.(1)
La presencia de hematemesis, melena y enterorragia son signos inequívocos de que existe un sangramiento en el tracto digestivo.
