Types of diarrhea Osmotic diarrhea: occurs when there is a loss of water due to heavy osmotic load, e.g. due to maldigestion or due to high uptake of sorbitol, fructose etc. Secretory diarrhea: due to increased active secretion and/or inhibition of absorption; little to no structural damage; e.g. cholera-toxin activates adenylatcyclase, higher cAMP-level, decreased Na-absorption & increased Cl-secretion, high osmotic gradient leads to water-inflow
Slide 5-

Types of diarrhea Motility-related diarrhea: occurs due to abnormal motility of GIT, if food moves to quickly there is not enough contact-time for water & nutrients to be absorbed; e.g. after vagotomy or diabetic neuropathy Inflammatory diarrhea: damage of mucosal lining or brush-border leads to a passive loss of protein-rich fluids and decreased ability to absorb these fluids; features of the other three types can be found in this one; it can be caused by bacterias, viruses, parasites and autoinflammatory diseases
Slide 6-

Acute diarrhea Lasts less than 4 weeks; aka enteritis Usually caused by infections (>90%) or food poisoning with bacterial toxins (Salmonella)‏ Most of non-febrile diarrheas are caused by viruses (viral gastroenteritis); most common reason for diarrhea in children is Rotavirus (~40%)‏ Febrile types (invasive pathogenes) are usually caused by Campylobacter or Salmonella Severe types are cholera, typhus and intestinal tuberculosis Cause for bloody diarrhea can be e.g. EHEC and dysentery
Slide 7-

Chronic diarrhea Lasts longer than 4 weeks Reasons can be: stress, food intolerance (e.g. lactose intolerance), disorders of pancreas/liver/gallbladder, chronic intestinal infections (Morbus Crohn, Colitis ulcerosa), bowel cancer
Slide 8-

Complications Loss of water: dehydration (dizzyness, unconsciousness)‏ Loss of electrolytes: cramps In severe cases both can lead to death Worldwide 3mio children die due to diarrhea (per year)‏
Slide 9-

Treatment In case of severe diarrhea suckling babies, children, old people should always go to a doctor Most important is sufficient uptake of water and electrolytes (salt)‏ Antidiarrhoetics are not always recommendable, cause pathogenes stay in the intestine In case of bacterial infection: antibiotics
