Failure to thrive- MedGen UID:
- 746019
- •Concept ID:
- C2315100
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Failure to thrive (FTT) refers to a child whose physical growth is substantially below the norm.
Abdominal distention- MedGen UID:
- 34
- •Concept ID:
- C0000731
- •
- Finding
Distention of the abdomen.
Intestinal atresia- MedGen UID:
- 7129
- •Concept ID:
- C0021828
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
An abnormal closure, or atresia of the tubular structure of the intestine.
Steatorrhea- MedGen UID:
- 20948
- •Concept ID:
- C0038238
- •
- Finding
Greater than normal amounts of fat in the feces. This is a result of malabsorption of lipids in the small intestine and results in frothy foul-smelling fecal matter that floats.
Vomiting- MedGen UID:
- 12124
- •Concept ID:
- C0042963
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Forceful ejection of the contents of the stomach through the mouth by means of a series of involuntary spasmic contractions.
Projectile vomiting- MedGen UID:
- 67442
- •Concept ID:
- C0221151
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Vomiting that ejects the gastric contents with great force.
Intestinal malrotation- MedGen UID:
- 113153
- •Concept ID:
- C0221210
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
An abnormality of the intestinal rotation and fixation that normally occurs during the development of the gut. This can lead to volvulus, or twisting of the intestine that causes obstruction and necrosis.
Chronic diarrhea- MedGen UID:
- 96036
- •Concept ID:
- C0401151
- •
- Finding
The presence of chronic diarrhea, which is usually taken to mean diarrhea that has persisted for over 4 weeks.
Abnormal peristalsis- MedGen UID:
- 713370
- •Concept ID:
- C1291045
- •
- Finding
An anomaly of the wave-like muscle contractions of the digestive tract.
Decreased intestinal transit time- MedGen UID:
- 892300
- •Concept ID:
- C3805050
- •
- Finding
A reduction in the length of time required for food to pass through the intestines.
Congenital shortened small intestine- MedGen UID:
- 927596
- •Concept ID:
- C4293687
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
Substantially shortened length of the small intestine as a result of a developmental defect.
Dehydration- MedGen UID:
- 8273
- •Concept ID:
- C0011175
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A condition resulting from the excessive loss of water from the body. It is usually caused by severe diarrhea, vomiting or diaphoresis.
Metabolic acidosis- MedGen UID:
- 65117
- •Concept ID:
- C0220981
- •
- Pathologic Function
Metabolic acidosis (MA) is characterized by a fall in blood pH due to a reduction of serum bicarbonate concentration. This can occur as a result of either the accumulation of acids (high anion gap MA) or the loss of bicarbonate from the gastrointestinal tract or the kidney (hyperchloremic MA). By definition, MA is not due to a respirary cause.
Intolerance to protein- MedGen UID:
- 234665
- •Concept ID:
- C1396243
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
- Abnormality of metabolism/homeostasis
- Abnormality of the digestive system
- Growth abnormality
