Overview
Natural History
The natural history of gastroparesis is largely unknown, especially there is minimal data on the natural history of diabetic gastroparesis.[1][2] In the Olmsted County epidemiology study, of all the incident cases of gastroparesis, one third patients died and another one third required medications, hospitalization or tube feeding related to gastroparesis.[2]
Complications
Primary complications of gastroparesis include:
- Fluctuations in blood glucose due to unpredictable digestion times (in diabetic patients)
- General malnutrition due to the symptoms of the disease (which frequently include vomiting and reduced appetite) as well as the dietary changes necessary to manage it
- Severe fatigue and weight loss due to calorie deficit
- Intestinal obstruction due to the formation of bezoars (solid masses of undigested food)
- Bacterial infection due to overgrowth in undigested food
- Dehydration
- Electrolyte imbalances
Prognosis
Many treatments seem to provide only temporary benefit. The estimated 5-year survival for gastroparesis based on Gastroparesis study in Olmsted County, MN, as of January 1, 2007 was 67% with worse prognosis for diabetic gastroparesis.[1] Prognosis of diabetic gastroparesis mainly depends upon blood sugar level and duration of diabetes.
