AACN Clinical Issues: Advanced Practice in Acute and Critical Care, 1997
The incidence of acute and chronic diarrhea in hospitalized adults ranges widely. This variation has been attributed to subjective definitions of diarrhea and to use of imprecise measurement methods. The differential diagnosis of diarrhea is broad, ranging from acute infectious causes to those of longer chronicity involving pathophysiologic mechanisms.

Diarrhea is a common symptom of many conditions, and making an accurate diagnosis can be daunting. Research efforts have expanded the differential diagnosis of chronic diarrhea and have provided improved methods for the evaluation and management of patients with diarrheal diseases.

Chronic diarrhea can be due to any of several hundred conditions. When investigation fails to uncover a specific cause that can be treated successfully, nonspecific therapy is implemented. This includes dietary alterations if specific aggravating foods can be identified, enteral or parenteral nutrition if nutritional status is compromised, and use of ...

A variety of infectious enteric pathogens (bacterial, viral, and protozoal) can lead to a systemic diarrheal illness in international travelers traveling from industrialized countries to developing areas of the world. Many of the agents that lead to this syndrome have been identified, and their mode of transmission has been defined.

The Pathophysiology of Diarrhea
Clinical Transplantation, 1996Abstract Diarrhea is a very common event after transplantation, but its cause may be difficult to identify. The first step in determining the cause in any particular case is an understanding of the etiology of diarrhea in general. Although diarrhea often is categorized into such types as secretory versus osmotic, or electrolyte transport‐related versus

Ileostomy diarrhea is not an uncommon problem and can lead to considerable loss of quality of life. Unfortunately, well-designed therapeutic trials are lacking, and thus, treatment of patients with ileostomy diarrhea remains largely empiric.

Diarrhea is a common problem for AIDS patients, and is chronic and debilitating. A thorough evaluation will reveal a pathogen in the majority of patients, and the organisms most frequently identified in AIDS patients with chronic diarrhea are Cryptosporidium, microsporidia, and Mycobacterium avium complex.

Diarrhea, defined as loose stools, occurs when the intestine does not complete absorption of electrolytes and water from luminal contents. This can happen when a nonabsorbable, osmotically active substance is ingested ("osmotic diarrhea") or when electrolyte absorption is impaired ("secretory diarrhea"). Most cases of acute and chronic diarrhea are due
