Gastrointestinal System Alterations
The gastric system overlaps several disorders in the body system, particularly the digestive system disorders increasing the difficulty in making proper diagnosis and treatment to the patients. For instance, a patient may present various symptoms during the examination, such as persistent severe pain in the abdomen, at which the first review would suggest inflammatory or irritable bowel syndrome. However, proper testing and inspection would result in the diagnosis of gastric cancer. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate various illnesses pathology and pathogenesis, essential to nurse practitioners that enable them to accurately identify changes in the gastrointestinal system, Crohn’s disease, Pancreatic Cancer, Diabetes epidemic, Hepatitis, and Celiac disease for proper diagnosis of the patients and reference of patients to specialized treatment and care where necessary.
Obesity Epidemic
Obesity is an intricate illness resulting from high consumption of energy and reduced expenditure of energy. The gastrointestinal system performs a vital function in obesity illness’ pathogenesis and helps in the imbalance of calories. The inhibition of mechanisms and changes in the gastrointestinal hormones that limit caloric consumption, lead to weight increase. It is unclear if the digestive function in obesity is an effect or a root of obesity (Acosta, & Camilleri, 2014). Obesity is mostly related to cardiovascular disease, CVD, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2DM. It is also linked with gastrointestinal disorders, which are more common and pre-existing before CVD and T2DM. Illnesses such as non- alcoholic steatohepatitis, cholelithiasis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease are directly associated with abdominal adiposity and body weight (Pozza, & Isidori, 2018). Regular disposal of bowel wastes is beneficial to body functioning. Thus, alterations of bowel elimination are often premature signs or symptoms of problems associated with the gastrointestinal system as normal bowel functions depend on the balance of various factors and elimination habits and patterns among multiple individuals................
