Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top When areas of the small intestine are removed surgically, there may not be enough surface area left in the remaining bowel to adequately absorb nutrients from food. This condition is particularly likely to develop when one-half or more of the bowel is removed during surgery. Risk factors include diseases of the small intestine that may require surgical intervention such as regional enteritis or Crohn's disease Necrotizing enterocolitis is a common cause of this syndrome in infants.

   Extractions: Email To A Friend Home Digestive Diseases A-Z List of Topics and Titles : Short Bowel Syndrome Short bowel syndrome is a group of problems affecting people who have had half or more of their small intestine removed. The most common reason for removing part of the small intestine is to treat Crohn's disease. Diarrhea is the main symptom of short bowel syndrome. Other symptoms include cramping, bloating, and heartburn. Many people with short bowel syndrome are malnourished because their remaining small intestine is unable to absorb enough water, vitamins, and other nutrients from food. They may also become dehydrated, which can be life threatening. Problems associated with dehydration and malnutrition include weakness, fatigue, depression, weight loss, bacterial infections, and food sensitivities. Short bowel syndrome is treated through changes in diet, intravenous feeding, vitamin and mineral supplements, and medicine to relieve symptoms. Additional Information on Short Bowel Syndrome The National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse collects resource information on digestive diseases for the Combined Health Information Database (CHID). CHID is a database produced by health-related agencies of the Federal Government. This database provides titles, abstracts, and availability information for health information and health education resources.

    Extractions: ReMedica Publishing, London U.K. with permission. This acute gastrointestinal disorder was first described in the German literature in 1825 [1], but is still something of an enigma. Despite years of investigation, the etiology remains unclear, and accepted prevention and treatment strategies are lacking. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) predominantly affects premature infants; less commonly (10%), term newborns, and, rarely, severely debilitated children. There have been instances of nursery epidemics. Some centers see this problem affecting as many as 8% of newborns born weighing less than 1.5 kg, while other units have a very low incidence of only 0.3% among their premature babies. Several countries, for example Switzerland and Scandinavia, have a very low incidence. In a study involving 52 centers in Japan [2], the incidence was only 0.3%. In the USA, the incidence is 2.4 in 1000 live births [3,4]. NEC is the commonest neonatal gastrointestinal emergency in both the UK and America. Susceptibility to NEC is increased by the following: Extreme prematurity [5] Birth weight under 2.0 kg

    Extractions: Long Term Nutritional Support Nutrient Deficiencies ... Definition of Short Bowel Syndrome Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) is defined as malabsorption resulting from anatomical or functional loss of a significant length of the small intestine. Most commonly this occurs after bowel resection in the newborn period (i.e., secondary to necrotizing enterocolitis ). The amount of bowel that must be lost to produce malabsorption is variable and depends on which section(s) is/are lost, and whether the ileocecal valve is preserved. The normal length of small intestine is approximately 300 to 850 cm for an adult, 200 to 250 cm for an infant over 35 weeks gestation, and approximately 100 to 120 cm for a premature infant, less than 30 weeks gestation. Loss of greater than 80% of the small bowel is associated with increased requirement for parenteral nutrition support, and decreased overall survival. When the ileocecal valve is lost, the resulting bacterial contamination of the small intestine mandates more small intestine for tolerance of oral/enteral feeding. The small intestine consists of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The majority of carbohydrate and protein absorption takes place in the duodenum and jejunum. Fats and fat soluble vitamins, however are absorbed in the ileum. Bile salts are excreted from the liver into the duodenum; these are required for the absorption of long chain fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins in the ileum. Vitamin B12 binds to intrinsic factor (produced in the stomach) and is also absorbed in the terminal ileum. Fluids and electrolytes are predominantly absorbed in the ileum and in the colon. When the duodenum and/or jejunum are resected, the ileum can largely adapt to perform their absorptive functions. However, the duodenum and jejunum cannot adapt to perform the functions of the ileum. Thus, resection of the duodenum or jejunum is generally much better tolerated than resection of the ileum.
