Overview
Mesenteric ischemia must be differentiated from other diseases that cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, such as ischemic colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and irritable bowel syndrome.
Differentiating Mesenteric Ischemia from other Diseases
It is important to differentiate ischemic colitis, which often resolves on its own, from the more immediately life-threatening condition of acute mesenteric ischemia of the small bowel.
Other diseases to include in the differential diagnosis are as follows:
- Acute pancreatitis
- Chronic pancreatitis
- Pancreatic carcinoma
- Acute appendicitis
- Acute diverticulitis
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Whipple disease
- Celiac disease
- Toxic megacolon
- Tropical sprue
- Infective colitis
- Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

Differentiating Mesenteric Ischemia from Other Diseases with Abdominal pain and Diarrhea
Mesenteric ischemia must be differentiated on the basis of abdominal pain and diarrhea from the following diseases:
Abbreviations: RUQ= Right upper quadrant of the abdomen, LUQ= Left upper quadrant, LLQ= Left lower quadrant, RLQ= Right lower quadrant, LFT= Liver function test, SIRS= Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, ERCP= Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, IV= Intravenous, N= Normal, AMA= Anti mitochondrial antibodies, LDH= Lactate dehydrogenase, GI= Gastrointestinal, CXR= Chest X ray, IgA= Immunoglobulin A, IgG= Immunoglobulin G, IgM= Immunoglobulin M, CT= Computed tomography, PMN= Polymorphonuclear cells, ESR= Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, CRP= C-reactive protein, TS= Transferrin saturation, SF= Serum Ferritin, SMA= Superior mesenteric artery, SMV= Superior mesenteric vein, ECG= Electrocardiogram
