Overview

The etiology of gastroparesis can be broadly classified into idiopathic, diabetic, post-surgical and medication induced. Life threatening causes of gastroparesis include brainstem stroke and hypokalemia (which may lead to cardiac arrythmias). Surgical procedures most commonly associated with gastroparesis include distal gastrectomy, pancreatoduodenectomy, cholecystectomy and fundoplication. Common medications associated with the development of gastroparesis include narcotics, tricyclic antidepressants, octreotide, amylin analogues, dopamine analogues and phenothiazines.

Causes

Life threatening causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Common causes

Less common causes

Transient gastroparesis may arise in acute illness of any kind:

  • Certain cancer treatments or other drugs which affect digestive action
  • Anorexia
  • Bulimia
  • Other abnormal eating patterns
  • Medications (anticholinergics and narcotics) that slow contractions in the intestine

Chronic gastroparesis is frequently due to autonomic neuropathy:

Idiopathic gastroparesis (gastroparesis with no known cause) accounts for a third of all chronic cases; it is thought that many of these cases are due to an autoimmune response triggered by an acute viral infection:

  • Stomach flu
  • Mononucleosis, and others have been anecdotally linked to the onset of the condition, but no systematic study has proven a link
