What is the potential relationship between appendicitis and peritonitis?
You get peritonitis, once the appendix get burst.
What is an appendictis?
Appendicitis is when the appendix becomes inflamed. If not removed, it can rupture and cause peritonitis, which can be fatal.
How does appendicitis affect the appendix?
The tip of the appendix become inflamed in the initial stage. At time the appendix get necrosis. Appendix may burst, giving rise to peritonitis.
What causes pain on right side of abdomine?
Pulled muscles Appendicitis In females, painful ovulation Less likely are peritonitis, colitis- these are not typically one-sided
What is the common cause for appendicitis?
The appendix is a sack that hangs off of the cecum - part of the large intestine. Appendicitis literally means swelling of the appendix. There are many causes, although obstruction is the most common. The end result is generally infection, which is often what leads to pain and other signs of appendicitis.
How long do you have to wait to be active after appendicitis?
It depends on the grade of the appendicitis. Some people recover fast but in some cases the illness can lead to a complication called peritonitis (if the infection is spread through the abdomen). In this case it may take month to heal and patient must take an antibiotic.
What happens when TB spreads to the abdominal cavity?
Tuberculous peritonitis may cause pain ranging from the vague discomfort of stomach cramps to intense pain that may mimic the symptoms of appendicitis.
What is the significance of studying appendicitis?
A delay can result in perforation, or rupture, of the appendix. When this happens, the infected contents of the appendix spill into the abdomen, potentially causing a serious infection of the abdomen called peritonitis.
What is the pathogenesis of pancreatitis that can lead to hypovolemia?
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas that can be caused by infectious organisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.) or can be due to non-infectious causes (chemical irritation, trauma, etc.). The pancreas is not well encapsulated, so the inflammatory chemicals often leak from the pancreas into the surrounding mesentery, which starts a sterile (non-infectious) peritonitis. If the peritonitis becomes diffuse (throughout the abdomen), the inflammatory response can pull so much plasma from the blood that you can become clinically dehydrated, or hypovolemic.
What are the possible causes of acute abdomen?
The possible causes of acute abdomen are the following: 1. acute peptic ulcer and its complications; 2. acute cholecystitis; 3. acute pancreatitis; 4. acute intestinal ischemia; 5. acute appendicitis; 6. acute diverticulitis; 7. acute peritonitis; 8. ectopic tubal pregnancy with tubal rupture; 9. acute pyelonephritis; 10. acute ureteral colic; 11. diabetic ketoacidosis.
What causes peritoneal fluid other than that resulting from infection?
Peritoneal fluid is not just produced by infections. An inflamed pancreas, called pancreatitis, can cause a massive sterile peritonitis when it leaks its digestive enzymes into the abdomen.
Why does localized peritonitis develop from acute appendicitis prior to rupture?
bacteria escape into the circulating blood
