What Causes RBC's In The Stool?

Hi, Thank you for this. I live in S E Asia. I've had a stool sample taken, all the results were normal except RBC was rare, can you explain what this means. I have chronic liver problems caused by alcohol and lost weight, this has now stabilised and begining to improve. Historically I have also suffered from acute recurrent pancreatitis, but not for more than two years now. LF sets are not outragious. Any advice would be appreciated, thank's again

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the alcoholic liver disease being suspected then it is highly advisable to cut down the alcohol consumption or stop this, else it may not be anything else because the given history is very brief it is not indicative of any other possibility.
Infection has to be confirmed and according to that it needed to be managed, if this not the confirmed case of infection then the relative symptoms could be due to something else, it may be nonspecific too.
hope this information helps.
