Overview
The risk factors of chronic diarrhea can be assessed based on the epidemiologic associations and the patient characteristics. Some of theses factors can be classified based on travel history, epidemics and outbreaks, diabetic patients, patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome and whether the patients are institutionalized or hospitalized.
Risk Factors
The risk factors for chronic diarrhea include;[1]
- Travel[2]
- Bacterial infection (mostly acute)
- Protozoal infections (eg, amebiasis, giardiasis)
- Tropical sprue
- Genetics
- Mutations in certain genes are associated with chronic diarrhea in inflammatory bowel diseases.
- Epidemics and outbreaks
- Bacterial infection
- Epidemic idiopathic secretory diarrhea (eg, Brainerd diarrhea)
- Protozoal infection (eg, cryptosporidiosis)
- Viral infection (eg, rotavirus)
- Diabetic patients
- Altered motility (increased or decreased)
- Associated diseases
- Crohn's disease
- Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency
- Small Intestinal Bowel Obstruction
- Drugs (especially acarbose, metformin)
- Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
- Drug side effects
- Lymphoma
- Opportunistic infections (eg, cryptosporidiosis, cytomegalovirus, herpesvirus, Mycobacterium avium complex)
- Institutionalized and hospitalized patients
- Clostridium difficile infection
- Drug side effects
- Fecal impaction with overflow diarrhea
- Ischemic colitis
- Tube feeding
