Mesenteric ischemia.
Superior mesenteric artery embolism or thrombosis and nonocclusive ischemia are the most frequent causes of mesenteric ischemia. Symptoms out of proportion to the physical findings, leucocytosis, and metabolic acidosis suggest the diagnosis. A high index of suspicion, aggressive resuscitation and correction of metabolic derangements, early angiography, and operative intervention are necessary i...
متن کاملMesenteric Ischemia
Mesenteric ischemia is caused by blood flow that is insufficient to meet the metabolic demands of the visceral organs. The severity of ischemia and the type of organ involved depend on the affected vessel and the extent of collateral-vessel blood flow. Despite advances in the techniques used to treat problems in the mesenteric circulation, the most critical factor influencing outcomes in patien...
متن کاملBeyond lactate: is there a role for serum lactate measurement in diagnosing acute mesenteric ischemia?.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Measurement of serum lactate remains the most frequently applied laboratory investigation to diagnose acute mesenteric (intestinal) ischemia. The present review aims at critically questioning the widespread measurement of serum lactate to diagnose acute mesenteric ischemia in clinical practice and at drawing attention to more novel markers of intestinal ischemia. METHODS An el...
متن کاملNon-Occlusive Mesenteric Ischemia
Introduction Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is an acute mesenteric circulatory disorder that, in contrast to mesenteric arterial occlusion induced by blockage of blood flow by emboli and thrombi, is not caused by organic occlusion of blood vessels. 1 Good outcomes in NOMI are observed with early recognition and treatment. 1-2 The early symptoms and characteristics of NOMI, however, ar...
متن کاملAcute Mesenteric Ischemia
The patient's white blood cell (WBC) count was 17,000/μL (no left shift). Viral gastroenteritis was diagnosed by the ED physicians. Very mild right-sided weakness and occasional "pins and needles" sensations in the right leg were residual effects of a stroke the patient had suffered 9 years earlier. He also had hypercholesteremia, with a high low-density lipoprotein level and a low high-density...
