'''Accelerated gastric emptying'''
====Accelerated gastric emptying====
*Alteration of the pyloric muscle that holds the gastric contents till complete digestion, will cause a free fall of gastric contents into the small intestine. This rapid descent will cause an osmotic shift leading to hypotension which will activate the sympathetic nervous system and its associated side effects.
*Alteration of the [[Pylorus|pyloric]] [[muscle]] that holds the [[gastric]] contents till complete digestion, leads to a rapid transit of [[gastric]] contents into the [[small intestine]]. This rapid descent of partially digested food into the intestines causes an [[osmotic]] shift of fluids from the extracellular compartment leading to [[hypotension]] which leads to the activation of the [[sympathetic nervous system]]

* Changes that affect the storage in the stomach or the pyloric muscle cuase delivery of hyperosmolar material into the intestine. Fluid shifts cause rapid small bowel distention and an increased peristalsis (early dumping).
* Changes that affect the storage of food in the [[stomach]] or the alteration and manipulation of the [[Pylorus|pyloric muscle]] cuase delivery of [[hyperosmolar]] material into the intestine. Fluid shifts cause rapid [[small bowel]] distention and an increased [[peristalsis]] (early dumping)
* Supraphysiologic release of GI peptides/vasoactive mediators lead to paradoxical vasodilation in a relatively volume-contracted state.
* Supraphysiologic release of [[gastrointestinal]] [[peptides]]/[[vasoactive]] mediators lead to paradoxical [[vasodilation]] in a relatively volume-contracted state
* Removal of a part of the stomach can cause the contents to not digest and flow down undigested in a hyperosmolar manner. This hyperosmolar chyme will cause an osmotic shift from the blood circulation to the intestinal lumen . This my may cause hypotension which will in turn activate the sympathetic nervous system and its associated side effects.
* Removal of a part of the [[stomach]] can cause the contents to not digest and flow down undigested. This leads to a large [[hyperosmolar]] load entering into the [[intestines]]. This [[hyperosmolar]] [[chyme]] leads to an [[osmotic]] shift of fluids from the [[vascular]] compartment to the [[intestinal]] [[Lumen (anatomy)|lumen]]. The major sequelae of this is [[hypotension]] and activation of the [[sympathetic nervous system]]
* Pancreatic islet cell hyperplasia, rather than late dumping, is thought to be the underlying mechanism for hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with nesidioblastosis after gastric bypass. These patients do not respond to treatment for dumping syndrome, and it is difficult to confirm this rare diagnosis.

Overview

The exact pathogenesis of dumping syndrome is not completely understood. Symptoms of early and late dumping syndrome appear to be caused by distinct pathological mechanisms. The pathogenesis can be divided into accelerated gastric emptying and reduced gastric volume.

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

Dumping syndrome occurs secondary to various conditions such as after gastric surgery (especially on taking meals high in carbohydrates after the procudure), diabetes mellitus, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The pathogenesis of dumping syndrome varies according to the etiology but the most essential component is the rapid gastric emptying. The exact cause is not yet concluded, although several known phenomena may contribute to the development of early dumping symptoms.[1][2]

The main pathogenesis can be subdivided into the following:

Accelerated gastric emptying

Reduced gastric volume

Surgery is one of the major causes leading to a reduced gastric volume. The following mechanisms lead to the development of dumping syndrome post surgery:[5]

Hormones of dumping syndrome

The following are hormonal changes occur in dumping syndrome:[7][8][9][10][11][12]

Hormone Role
ANP Vasoconstriction
Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) Delays emptying, insulin secretion
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) Relaxation of gastrointestinal tract, vascular relaxation
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) Insulin secretion, slows gastrointestinal transit time
Peptide YY Inhibits gastric acid secretion, delays emptying
Neurotensin Relaxation, splanchnic vasodilation
Serotonin -

The following are effects caused by specific hormones:

Effect Hormone
Insulin secretion GIP, GLP-1
Vasodilation Neurotensin, VIP
Slows GIT Peptide YY, VIP, neurotensin
Inhibits absorption VIP
- Serotonin

Approach to pathophysiology of dumping syndrome

Exceptional diseases

There are a few diseases that have a different mechanism compared to conventional risk factors such as surgery leading to dumping syndrome. The following are the diseases:
