Study Notes
Gastrointestinal Disorders and Endocrine Pathologies Summary
- Ketoacidosis is uncommon in type 2 diabetes
- Metabolic syndrome is a combination of type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and high blood pressure
- Criteria for metabolic syndrome include central obesity, high blood pressure, increased fasting blood glucose, elevated fasting plasma triglyceride levels, and functional disorder
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) causes chronic symptoms of abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea
- Gastrointestinal Bleeding (GIB) can originate from upper (peptic ulcers, esophageal varices, Mallory-Weiss tears) or lower (diverticulosis, angiodysplasia, polyps, hemorrhoids, fissures) parts of the GI tract
- Upper GIB can be caused by peptic ulcers, gastritis, esophageal varices, Mallory-Weiss tears
- Lower GIB can be caused by diverticulosis, angiodysplasia, polyps, hemorrhoids, and fissures
- Treatment for IBS includes antidiarrheal agents, antispasmodic medications, and increased fiber in diet
- Causes of upper GIB include peptic ulcer disease, gastritis, esophageal varices, and Mallory-Weiss tear
- Lower GIB can be caused by diverticulosis, angiodysplasia, polyps, hemorrhoids, and fissures
- Hormonal changes, ingestion of irritants, lactose intolerance, and psychological stress are common causes of IBS
- Endocrine pathologies include hypersecretion and hyposecretion of hormones, primary vs. secondary endocrine pathologies, and disorders related to thyroid, parathyroid, and diabetes insipidus
