Abdomen Trans Part 2 Flashcards
Diarrhea for adults,
3 or more bowel movements
>200 g/day stool weight
Frequent passage of small volumes of stool
Associated with rectal urgency
Seen in IBS, anorectal disorder (procititis)
Pseudo diarrhea
Involuntary discharge of rectal contents
Caused by neuromuscular disorder and structural anorectal problems
Fecal in continence
Intense urge with straining but little or no result
Tenesmus
Acute diarrhea
Persistent diarrhea
2-4 weeks
Chronic diarrhea
> 4 weeks
Diarrhea
Motility disorders involving the left colon
Frequent small volume movements
Diarrhea
Right colon or small bowel and if recto sigmoid reservoir is intact
Stool fewer but large volume
Diarrhea
Painless large volume stools
Right colon or small bowel source
Diarrhea
With dehydration in absence of vomiting or limited oral intake typically have stool weights
> 1,000 grams
Diarrhea
Ingestion of poorly absorbed cations and anions: mannitol, sorbitol, magnesium, sulfate and phosphate.
Osmotic diarrhea
Diarrhea
Osmotic diarrhea transported by
Saturated at low Ingraluminal ion
Low capacity
Essential characteristic of osmotic diarrhea are
Disappear with fasting
Electrolyte absorption is not impaired
Diarrhea
Diving force of this type of diarrhea is always either.
Net secretion of chloride or HCO3
Inhibition of net sodium absorption
Secretory diarrhea
Diarrhea
It severely affect the messenger system that regulates ion transport pathways.
Secretory diarrhea
Diarrhea
Diarrhea being produced by several pathophysiologic mechanism.
Complex diarrhea
Complex diarrhea involves regulatory systems including
Paracrine
Immune
Neural endocrine
Often cited as pure secretory diarrhea.
Cholera
Cholera toxins targets the ________ , ________, ________, which opens apical chloride channels to estimate choride secretion and results in diarrhea
Epithelial cells
Increase second messenger
cAMP
However, cholera toxin stimulates both _________________ that reinforced the direct secretory effect on electrolyte
Endocrine cells and neural elements
Intact enterocytes are barraged by multiple secretagogues released by immune cells in the intestine and by bacterial toxins that may influence enterocyte function
Inflammatory bowel disease
IBD
Bacteria proteins may stimulate the production of cytokines, suchas
Interleukin 8
IBD
Aggravated by
Altered motility
Compromised rectal reservoir
