What is "Acute obstructive jaundice, "bloems (?)" haematemesis?


My G G Grandad's death certificate gives the above as the cause of death. I know haematemesis is vomiting blood (how delightful!) but I don't know where the jaundice connects to this (I suspect that it may be alcohol related) and I am not sure that I have read the "bloems" part correctly - it may be "blocks" or "glucks".

Can anyone tell me what it means please?

The irony is, if it is alcohol related, that y G G Grandad cast his own son out of the family for daring to marry a girl he met in a bar!!

You are correct in thinking that hematemisis is vomiting blood. (Acute obstructive) Jaundice (yellowing of the skin/eyes etc.) can be related to the liver or pancreas - which may be caused by a "blockage" with/in the liver or pancreas. Alcohol could have played a factor in both hematemisis and jaundice. It is hard to say exactly with out knowing the medical history

when you find out tell me then we'll both kno. ok

this could mean that the hepatic duct or the common bile duct was obstructed in a very short time and thus leading to jaundice. there could be many reasons why these ducts may be blocked.
