what is secretory diarrhea

A

increased secretion or decreased absorption of NaCl

26
Q

what is osmotic diarrhea

A

nonabsorbable molecules in the gut lumen

27
Q

what is inflammatory absoroptive surface diarrhea

A

destruction of the mucosa impaired absorption, outpouring of blood/mucous

28
Q

what happens in decreased absorption diarrhea

A

impaired reabsorption of electrolytes

29
Q

what happens in a motility disorder

A

increased motility with decreased time for absorption of electrolytes and/or nutrients. decreased motility with bacterial overgrowth.

30
Q

5 causes of acute diarrhea

A
viral/bacterial/parasitic infections
food poisoning
drugs
fecal impaction
heavy metal poisoning
31
Q

travelers diarrhea

A

bacterial infections, viral and parasitic infections

32
Q

what are the bacterial causes of travelers diarrhea

A

mediated by enterotoxins made by e coli. mediated by invasion of the mucosa and inflammation by e coli, shigella, camplobacter. or a combination of both enterotoxins and invasion such as salmonella.

33
Q

causes of chronic/recurrent diarrhea

A

IBS, inflammatory bowel disease, parasitic infections, malabsorption syndrome, drugs, heavy metals.

Q

causes of chronic diarrhea of unknown origin

A

surreptious laxative abuse, IBS, unrecognized inflammatory, bile acid malabsorption, other

35
Q

causes of incontinence

A

sphincter malfunction (surgeries, fissures, fistulas, hemorrhoids, episiotomy, anal crohns, diabetic neuropathy, idiopathic)

36
Q

what drug classes treat diarrhea

A

anticholinergics, opioid agonists, colloids and pectins

37
Q

atropine sulfate

A

treatment of diarrhea by relaxing the bowel smooth muscle.

38
Q

loperamide

A

opioid treatment for diarrhea, increases rectal tone and disrupts peristalsis via mu receptor

39
Q

diphenoxylate
