Study Notes

Unabsorbed lactose in the intestine attracts water due to its presence.
In the colon, lactose is metabolized by bacteria into organic acids, CO2, and H2, causing irritation and osmotic effect leading to diarrhea, gaseousness, bloating, and abdominal cramps.
Approximately 8500 mL of fluid flows into the intestine daily, from diet (1500mL) and secretions (7000mL), with around 7000 mL absorbed in the small intestines.
Approximately 1500 mL passes through the ileocecal valve, and around 1400 cc of fluid is absorbed in the large bowel, with only 100 cc excreted.
Diarrhea is a common cause of child deaths, and dehydration and electrolyte imbalances are possible consequences of it.
Fecal osmolarity is equal to serum osmolarity (290 mosm/kg) with the major osmoles being Na+, K+, Cl–, and HCO –3.
Fecal osmotic gap, calculated to distinguish different causes of diarrhea, is normal (<100 mOsm/kg) or increased (>125 mOsm/kg), with the latter implying osmotic diarrhea caused by unabsorbed molecules such as unabsorbed carbohydrates.
Secretory diarrhea is characterized by the loss of isotonic fluid and an increase in active secretion of water, and is caused by enterotoxins that stimulate chloride channels regulated by cAMP and cGMP.
Osmotic diarrhea is characterized by a lack of response to fasting, and is caused by the ingestion of poorly absorbable solutes such as lactulose or disaccharides.
Exudative diarrhea results from the outpouring of blood or mucus from an inflamed or ulcerated mucosa and is caused by invasive infections or inflammatory bowel diseases.
Bacterial dysentery is a common cause of exudative diarrhea, and the main organisms responsible for it are Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and Entamoeba histolytica.
Fecal smear for leukocytes can be used as a screening test for diarrhea, and a positive result suggests inflammation in the bowel.
The main causes of diarrhea include bacterial toxins, neuroendocrine tumors, enteropathogenic viruses, laxatives, and malabsorption disorders.
The causes of diarrhea can be distinguished based on the stool osmotic gap, which is normal or low in the case of malabsorption and high in the case of secretory or osmotic diarrhea.
The most common causes of bacterial dysentery are Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and Entamoeba histolytica.
Diarrhea can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, which can be life-threatening, especially in children.
The loss of fluids from diarrhea can amount to 200-300 gm/day, almost double the normal amount.
The most common causes of child deaths are diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria, preterm delivery, and neonatal infection.
Diarrhea can be caused by a bacterial toxin or a neuroendocrine tumor, or by enteropathogenic viruses or rectal villous adenomas.
Lactulose and other osmotic laxatives are used to treat diarrhea by increasing the stool's water content.
Fecal smear tests for leukocytes and O&P (Ova and parasites) can help diagnose diarrhea caused by infections.
Diarrhea caused by inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, can be persistent and can lead to the loss of large volumes of fluid.
Diarrhea caused by bacterial dysentery can be life-threatening, especially in young children.
The most common causes of bacterial dysentery are Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and Entamoeba histolytica.
Fecal smear tests can help diagnose diarrhea caused by bacterial dysentery, but they may not be useful in cases of diarrhea caused by other causes, such as malabsorption disorders.
Diarrhea can have a significant impact on a person's health and quality of life.
Fecal smear tests are used to diagnose bacterial infections in the intestines, and a positive result suggests the presence of pathogens in the stool.
Enteropathogenic viruses, such as rotavirus and norwalk virus, are common causes of diarrhea, especially in young children.
Diarrhea caused by inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, can be chronic and can lead to significant health problems.
The most common causes of bacterial dysentery are Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and Entamoeba histolytica.
