  • Front
  • Back
what is a rare lysosomal storage disease in which lysosomal products accumulate acn become toxic to the nerves?

a purely neorgenic diarrhea
sandhoff disease (hexosaminidase B def)
what is the osmolality of all stool?
290 mosm
what effect will carbs have on the pH of stool?
decrease make more acidid
in addition to the physical barrier of the ileal cecal valve, what other mechanism occurs there?
the ileal brake medi by pep YY which is released by glucose or faut in ileum feeds back to slow stomach transit and si transit and increase absorption
what diease can damage ileocecal valve?
Crohn's
what are normally absorbed in proximal small bowerl?
Fe
folate
Ca
what are clues for distal small bowel diseas?
B12 def or bile acid def
what does a high anion gap mean?
there is little Na and K in stool; characteristic of osmotic diarrhea. often see a reduced volume from fasting
malabsorptive disorders- Na and K are not absorbed into the body from food
what does a low anion gap mean?
there is a lot of Na and K in stool; combined with no reduction from fasting, it can be Dx for secretory diarrhea (body secretes Na and K to achieve isosmotic stool
what are two things that can give you exogenous osmotic diarrhea?
osmotic laxitives
sorbitol
what are some exogenous factors for secretory diarrrhea?
stimulant laxatives
medications
toxins- seafood, cafiene, whiskey
preformed bacterial toxins
