Amylorrhea is the appearance in the stool of a large number of starch grains, which indicates a violation of the digestion of carbohydrates. The symptom occurs with enzyme deficiency - chronic pancreatitis, enteritis, pancreatic tumors. Amylorrhea is observed with increased peristalsis, which happens with IBS, intestinal infections, hyperacid gastritis. The diagnostic plan involves functional probe and probeless methods, coprogram, instrumental imaging of the pancreas. Treatment includes diet therapy, pancreatic enzyme preparations, antacids, and probiotics.
Hypoglycemia is a decrease in plasma glucose concentration less than 2.8 mmol / l. Causes include non-compliance with insulin therapy in diabetes (skipping meals, exercise, alcohol consumption), various endocrine and metabolic disorders, and cancer. The clinical symptom complex is represented by vegetative and neuropsychiatric disorders of varying severity. Diagnosis is based on the detection of low fasting or postprandial plasma glucose. To stop hypoglycemia, oral fast-digesting carbohydrates, the introduction of glucose or glucagon are used.
Glucosuria is a pathological condition characterized by the detection of glucose in a urine sample. The causes may be diseases of the pancreas, various endocrine disorders, kidney disease. Glucosuria itself has no clinical manifestations. Prolonged excretion of large amounts of glucose in the urine increases the risk of developing urinary tract infections (pyelonephritis, cystitis). The glucose level is examined on an empty stomach in a medium portion of freshly collected urine. Correction of this laboratory deviation is carried out by treating the underlying disease.
Night sweats in men is a pathological increase in sweating at night, which causes discomfort to a person. Frequent causes of increased sweating are a decrease in the amount of testosterone and other endocrine diseases, the use of alcohol and drugs, chronic infections, and damage to internal organs. To establish the origin of night sweats, laboratory tests, ultrasound and x-ray imaging, and a neurological examination are prescribed. The elimination of sweating disorders is carried out by treating the underlying disease.
Elevated blood pressure is observed both in essential hypertension and in symptomatic forms of hypertension that are associated with diseases of the kidneys, central nervous system, and endocrine system. In healthy individuals, a short-term increase in pressure occurs in stressful situations, with the “white coat syndrome”. To diagnose the causes, laboratory tests are prescribed - general and biochemical blood tests, lipid and hormonal profiles, and an assessment of GFR. Instrumental methods are used - ECG, echocardiography, ultrasound of the kidneys and endocrine glands. Relief of the symptom includes lifestyle changes, antihypertensive drugs, elimination of the causes of the symptom.
Increased appetite is the consumption of large amounts of food, caused by a constant feeling of hunger. In women, the symptom is most often detected during premenstrual syndrome and pregnancy. Increased craving for food is also associated with endocrine pathology, parasitic invasions, and dehydration of the body. To determine the cause of increased appetite, a blood test for hormones, ultrasound, radioisotope scintigraphy, and CT scans are performed. To eliminate eating disorders, medication or psychotherapy is prescribed, which affect the etiological factor.
Constant thirst is a state when a person constantly wants to drink water in large quantities. The symptom is often accompanied by an increase in the amount of daily urine, dry lips and mucous membranes of the oral cavity. Uncontrolled thirst (polydipsia) occurs with endocrine diseases, pathologies of the liver and respiratory system, and mental disorders. To verify the cause, tests for the content of hormones, instrumental imaging methods, and a neurological examination are performed. To normalize the water balance, it is necessary to carry out the therapy of the underlying disease.
Tingling of the skin is observed with traumatic injuries, allergic dermatoses, dermatomycosis, infectious dermatoses. It can be combined with itching, burning, pain. Often accompanied by the formation of various skin elements: vesicles, papules, pustules, etc. The cause of the symptom is established on the basis of complaints, anamnesis, dermatological examination data and laboratory tests. Depending on the etiology and severity of the pathological process, antibiotics, antimycotics, hormonal agents, antihistamines, immunomodulators are prescribed. Carry out the processing of foci. Carry out physiotherapy.
Brokenness is a subjective feeling of fatigue, lack of strength, which is often accompanied by headaches, body aches. Malaise occurs when there is a violation of the regime of the day and an unbalanced diet, chronic fatigue syndrome, infectious diseases, somatic pathology. To find out the cause of weakness and weakness, blood counts are examined, the hormonal profile is assessed, a neurological examination, and instrumental diagnostic methods are prescribed. To eliminate malaise, physiotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic methods, vitamin preparations are used.
