Brief Answer:
Require evaluation of the coagulation profile.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back dear,

Thanks for the details, I have gone through all your attachments of reports.

* Platelet counts are low, Bilirubin level is high with occult blood in stool; require
evaluation with coagulation profile of bleeding, clotting and prothrombin time
In the laboratory.

* This seems more of a systemic issue than intestine pathology.

Hope this will help you.
Wishing her a quick recovery.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
