Overview
Differential diagnosis of vomiting may be a result of a range of causes, including GI (obstructive and inflammatory) etiologies, CNS disease, pulmonary problems, renal disease, endocrine/metabolic disorders, drugs (either as side effects or in over dosages), psychiatric disorders, strep throat, pregnancy or stress.
Differential diagnosis
The causes of nausea and vomiting can be differentiated as GI and Non GI causes:
GI causes
Inflammatory:
Obstructive:
Esophageal malignancies
Gastric outlet obstruction , may be due tomalignancy
Strangulated hernias
Small bowel obstruction due toadhesion,intussusception orvolvulus
Functional:
Gastroparesis due to autonomic dysfunction
Non GI causes can be
CNS causes:
Space occupying lesions
Metabolic:
Acidosis- DK, Lactic acidosis
Others:
Opiate therapy
