Chronic Diarrhea (3 weeks)🚧 施工中
Chronic Diarrhea (>3 weeks)
• Work-up:
- Use history/physical to determine the probable subtype of diarrhea (i.e., watery, fatty, or inflammatory)
- Send further diagnostics from the stool based on the suspected subtype (watery = stool osms; fatty = fecal fat; inflammatory = stool RBC/WBC, consider fecal calprotectin)
- Pursue additional testing based on narrowed differential diagnosis
• Etiologies: See Table 4.3
