Chronic and acute ulcers: symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment

The small intestine has several sections. Disease of only one department is a rare phenomenon, the inflammatory process more often covers one or two sites of the small intestine.

Ejunit is the disease of the jejunum. Inflammation of this part of the intestine is accompanied by such disorders:

• colon colonization by harmful microorganisms( in the healthy state this intestinal tract is in a sterile state),
• processes of absorption and digestion undergo pathological changes,
• later metabolic disorders are observed,
• inflammation of the intestine initiates immunological failures,
• the motor skills of this department are deteriorating.

Functionality of the jejunum is broken, the villous apparatus undergoes pathological changes.

Causes of inflammation

The inflammatory process of an acute or chronic nature occurs for various reasons. Acute ulnitis provokes such factors:

• allergic reaction to food or drugs,
• most often the disease provokes an infection;it can be microorganisms:

  • salmonella,
  • cholera vibrio,
  • typhoparathyphoid microorganisms
  • and others;
• disease can cause food intake:
  • with a lot of seasoning,
  • with coarse fiber content,
  • fruit jam with bones, in case the bones contain toxic substances;
  • excessive consumption of alcohol,
  • and fungi if they are capable of causing poisoning.

This:

• long-term administration of drugs in some cases damages the action of the villous apparatus in the jejunum area, the effect can cause medicines in this direction:
  • chemotherapeutic agents,
  • anti-inflammatory drugs,
  • antibiotics;
• work in harmful production, where there is a poisoning of the body with phosphorus or lead;
• if bacteria enter and colonize the jejunum, and there are conditions for switching on the mechanism of the inflammatory process;
• as a result of the fact that a person was exposed to ionizing radiation.

Symptoms of jejunita

The main signs of jejunal disease:

• Enteric failure,
• diarrhea,
• intoxication,
• abdominal pain.

Symptoms of neuritis are not very pronounced. Without diagnostic measures, you can make an erroneous conclusion. In addition, the signs of jejunitis, which is in acute or chronic form, are very different from each other.

Acute form of

Symptoms of acute form of ynithitis manifest themselves vividly:

• lack of moisture in the body is noticeable through such symptoms:
  • decrease in turgor,
  • skin is dry,
  • of man is thirsty;
• if no measures are taken and the signs of the disease grow, then convulsions and even fainting may occur;
• there are pronounced pain in the abdomen,
• is likely the development of vascular insufficiency,
• common symptoms:
  • nausea,
  • diarrhea,
  • vomiting,
  • weakness,
  • fever.

Chronic form

Symptoms of the chronic form of the jejunitis:

• the villous layer does not cope with the performance of its function, therefore there are such signs of disorder:
  • insufficient digestion,
  • flatulence,
  • rumbling,
  • abdominal pain,
  • body toxicity,
  • diarrhea,
  • signs of fermentation processes;
• enteral insufficiency is manifested due to the reduced rate of assimilation of carbohydrates and proteins,
• dysbacteriosis arises due to the fact that the mucosa from pathological processes becomes thinner.

Diagnosis

To determine what happens to the patient and to establish an accurate diagnosis, perform the following actions:

• The specialist listens to the patient's complaints and makes an inspection:
  • reveals if there is a rumbling in the abdomen,
  • looks to see if the symptom of Porges( the presence of pain on palpationthe area above and to the left of the navel);
  • the same symptom of Sternberg - when palpation of the mesentery zone there is pain.
• An accurate diagnosis is established by histological analysis of the areas of the jejunum mucosa, for this, her biopsy is done;The manipulation is combined with esophagogastroduodenoscopy( the endoscope is introduced into the initial sections of the small intestine for the purpose of diagnosis).
• Laboratory tests:
  • blood test,
  • stool analysis.

Treatment of

The reason that caused the illness and determines how to provide assistance.

• If the problem is due to an infectious agent, the treatment is aimed at weakening and neutralizing its action:
  • lavage of the intestinal tract,
  • taking drugs that kill the pathological flora;
• during an allergic reaction exclude from the diet the food that causes it;
• in case an allergy caused a drug, it is canceled.
• A diet is prescribed.
• The body is rehydrated.

Drug therapy can use drugs:

• enzymatic agents,
• antibiotics,
• probiotics,
• preparations that improve bowel motility;
• anti-dehydration products,
• vitamins.

Prognosis and prevention

Most often, the function of the jejunum is restored. The success of treatment depends on such factors:

• how much the disease was started by the time of contact with the doctor,
• what causes the violation,
• to what extent the dehydration occurred.

To measures that can prevent the appearance of a violation - the Ynjnit, it is possible to attribute:

• selection of a ration in which rude and spicy food is excluded;
• abolition of drugs that affect the health of the intestinal mucosa,
• , when it is found on the mucosal surface of Helicobacter pylori it is necessary to periodically carry out preventive treatment prescribed by a doctor;
• if the patient was diagnosed with a chronic form of the disease, it should be after the treatment to check the state of the digestive system every six months.
