Overview
Diseases like gastroentritis ,urinary tract infections ,pyelonephritis ,adrenal insufficiency ,acute renal failure and inborn errors of metabolism are
Differentiating pyloric stenosis from other diseases
- Adrenal insufficiency
- Gastroenteritis
- Inborn errors of metabolism
- Urinary tract infections and Pyelonephritis
- Acute renal failure
- Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause vomiting, poor feeding,and dehydration and adrenal insufficiency.
- [Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
- As [disease name] manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtype. [Subtype name 1] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], such as [differential dx1] and [differential dx2]. In contrast, [subtype name 2] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 2], such as [differential dx3] and [differential dx4].
Preferred Table
| Diseases | Laboratory Findings | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dehydration | Hypokalemia | Acidosis or Alkalosis | Hypochloremia or hyperchloremia | |
| Pyloric stenosis | ++ | + | Alkalosis | Hypochloremia |
| Adrenal insufficency | + | Hyperkalemia | Acidosis | Hypochloremia |
| Gastroenteritis | ++ | + | Acidosis | Hypochloremia |
| UTI | +/- | +/- | Acidosis or alkalosis | Hypochloremia or hyperchloremia |
| Acute renal failure | + | Hyperkalemia | Acidosis | hyperchloremia |
