Children, because their immune systems are not strong enough, tend to put everything in their mouths because tasting is the way they perceive the world. That's why many babies often experience diarrhea and vomiting, but sometimes diarrhea can also be a major problem. Today, let's take a look at the early symptoms of intestinal necrosis in children.
1、 Early symptoms of intestinal necrosis in children
Any cause of intestinal wall damage in children can affect various functions of the intestinal tract, with prominent manifestations such as bloating, vomiting, diarrhea, as well as gastrointestinal bleeding. Obstructive lesions may have no stool and bile vomiting. When there is intestinal wall exudation or intestinal necrosis, there are symptoms of peritoneal irritation. However, the measurement of serum alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, etc. often increases after the formation of intestinal necrosis. Various imaging examinations can only display early signs of intestinal obstruction such as bloating, intestinal obstruction, gas-liquid level, and thickening of the intestinal wall and interstitial space. ct、 Ultrasound Doppler examination has certain reference value for the blood supply of mesenteric vessels.
Children with intestinal necrosis may exhibit abnormal general conditions, body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and blood oxygen. Although many scholars believe that the clinical manifestations before intestinal necrosis are non-specific, strict monitoring and careful clinical observation, as well as early detection of disease changes, are still important indicators for clinical diagnosis.
2、 The pathogenic causes of intestinal necrosis in children
Various types of intestinal obstruction in children are the most common cause of inducing intestinal necrosis. Intestinal torsion, intussusception, and other mesenteric strangulation can cause occlusion of mesenteric blood vessels; Direct compression of adhesive bands can also cause necrosis of intestinal segments; The excessive expansion of the intestinal lumen increases the pressure inside the intestinal lumen and the abdominal cavity, affecting the blood flow perfusion of the intestinal wall and leading to widespread or focal necrosis.
Inflammatory lesions of the intestine, such as ulcerative colitis, ileitis, Crohn's disease, acute hemorrhagic necrotizing enteritis, congenital megacolon induced enterocolitis, typhoid fever, and intestinal tuberculosis, can cause intestinal necrosis at different stages of disease development.
Do you know now, parents? A simple diarrhea in your baby may be an early symptom of intestinal necrosis in children, and sometimes there may not be any early symptoms. Once the child experiences diarrhea and vomiting, which do not improve for a period of time and become increasingly serious, it is important to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner!
