Simple chronic constipation: pathophysiology and management.

Benson JA Jr.

Chronic constipation is not a simple problem. It is often related to fundamental beliefs and habits. Once it has been established that the cause is not an organic disorder, the physician must take pains to explore with the patient other possible causes. Simple, inorganic constipation can usually be traced to poor diet or poor habits. The physician should provide simple explanations of the mechanisms involved in the act of elimination and detailed instructions on appropriate food and water intake and the development of regular habits. Laxatives should be prescribed only if absolutely necessary and if the patient taking them can be carefully observed.

[Histomorphology of the liver by damage with phenolisatine-containing laxatives (Recurrent chronic cholangiohepatitis)]

[Article in German]

Luders CJ, Riske WE, Henning H, Vogel HM.

In the case of 36 female patients who were anamnestically known to have taken laxatives, semiquantitative histological investigations with laparoscopically obtained liver needle biopsies were effected after the exposition with preparations containing phenolisatine. The time gap until exposition was 12 to 24 h (16 cases), 48 h (8 cases), 72 to 96 h (4 cases) and 7 to 14 days (4 cases). The histological result after the exposition is an acute cholangiolitis of the allergic-hyperergic type with edema and a dense eosinophile infiltration of the portal fields with destruction of the epithelium of preformed bile ducts and portally proliferated ductles. In addition, the parenchyma of the liver shows a pleomorphism of the cells in form and colour with a cellular edema and with disseminated acidophilic necroses and necrobioses of the individual cells as well as with little reactive proliferation of the Kupffer's cell. After a period of 8 days the acute process has more or less subsided. Also, in the majority of cases there are histological signs of an aggressive chronic hepatitis of type IIa, partially in the active stage with piece-meal necroses and partially stabilized or in the process of healing. A transition to the picture of hepatitic cirrhosis is possible. In serious cases the picture of a chronic non-purulent destructive cholangitis can be simulated by the hepatocellular and canalicular damage. Thirty-one bioptic pre-examinations from the same results, whereby the acute cholangiolitical exacerbation can be attributed to an exposition of the patients themselves. The clinical picture of the phenolisatine damage in its entirety is induced by medication and is described as a recurrent chronic cholangiohepatitis. Similarities exist between the liver damages caused by chlorpromaz

[Edematous syndromes caused by capillary hyperpermeability. Diffuse angioedema]

Edema due to increased capillary permeability (ICP) may be diffuse or localized. Local edemas (Quincke edema, angioneurotic edema) are most often allergic or very rarely due to a defect in C1-inhibitor. Generalized edemas due to ICP share the following clinical features: Fluid retention (subcutaneous edema and diffused swelling) is predominant in lower limbs; it is worsened by orthostatism and warmth and alleviated by decubitus and cold, with important weight variations between morning and evening. It is associated with enhanced thirst, hypotension, oliguria, headaches and blood volume reduction; secondary hyperaldosteronism is the main mechanism. These troubles are due to ICP, associated with lymphatic drainage abnormalities; ICP is measured by the isotopic Landis Test. This abnormality is present in several diseases. Idiopathic orthostatic edema (IOE) is frequent and often unrecognized, occurring mainly in women, often associated with luteal insufficiency. Iatrogenic complications (diuretic and laxative abuses) are frequently superimposed. ICP may be corrected by vitamins P (rutin, anthocyanosides, diosmin, Ginkgo biloba extracts...) Cyclic shock due to ICP is rare. It is characterized by cyclic edema and shock with hypovolemia, hypoproteinemia; the mechanism of shock is a severe loss of fluid and protein from the vascular bed. It is often associated with monoclonal gammapathy and complement activation. In our personal case, the trouble in CP was present all along the disease with permanent edema and low blood pressure (especially in orthostatism). Vit "P" and Ginkgo biloba extracts were able to partially improve CP and the clinical troubles. However, in spite of this treatment a fatal shock occurred after ten
