Overview
The exact pathogenesis of dumping syndrome is not completely understood. Symptoms of early and late dumping syndrome appear to be caused by distinct pathophysiological mechanisms.
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, Zolinger-Ellison syndrome, and Ehler-Danlos syndrome. The pathogenesis of dumping syndrome varies according to the etiology but the most essential component is the increased 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
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.
- Reactive hypoglycemia occurs secondary to hyperinsulinemia caused by high concentration of carbohydrates in the proximal small intestine and rapid absorption of glucose (late dumping)[3][4]
- Removal of a part of the stomach and small intestine will cause bypassing of the gastric contents straight through to the ileum or jejunum which can cause rapid descent and osmotic shifting.[5]
- Dumping syndrome is most common in patients with certain types of stomach surgery, such as a gastrectomy or gastric bypass surgery, that allow the stomach to empty rapidly. Dumping syndrome can also occur as a result of complications after a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal).[1] [6]
- Dumping is also common for esophageal cancer patients who have had an esophagectomy; surgery to remove the cancerous portion of their esophagus. The stomach is pulled into the chest and attached to what remains of the esophagus, leaving a short digestive tract.[1]
Reduced gastric volume
Surgery is one of the major causes leading to a reduced gastric volume.[5]
- 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).
- Supraphysiologic release of GI 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.
- 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.
- Glucagonlike peptide-1 (GLP1) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of late hypoglycemia after gastric bypass
Hormones of Dumping Syndrome
The following are hormones and their association with dumping syndrome:[7][8][9][10][11][12]
| Hormone | Role |
|---|---|
| ANP | Vasocontriction |
| GIP | Delays emptying, Insulin secretion |
| VIP | Relaxation of GIT, vascular relaxation |
| GLP-1 | Insulin secretion, Slows GIT |
| Peptide YY | Inhibits gastric acid secretion, Delays emptying |
| Neurotensin | Relaxation, Sphlancnic vasodilation |
The following are effects caused by specific hormones:
| Effect | Hormone |
|---|---|
| Insulin secretion | GIP, GLP-1 |
| Vasodilation | Neurotensin, VIP |
| Slows GIT | PYY, VIP, Neurotensin |
| Inhibits absorption | VIP |

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:
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome,
- a rare disorder involving extreme peptic ulcer disease and gastrin-secreting tumors in the pancreas, may also have dumping syndrome.
- Connective tissue conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
- can experience "late" dumping as a result of decreased motility.
- Low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia,
- Diabetes
- Neuropathy can cause damage to the nerves supplying the GIT
