A 40 year old man with a history of Crohn's disease has recently undergone intestinal resection. Following the surgery he developed sho bowel syndrome as a complication. Which of the following is not a feature of sho bowel syndrome ?
Sho bowel syndrome is associated with hypergastrinemia rather than hypogastrinemia probably due to reduced small intestinal catabolism of circulating gastrin or due to reduced hormonal inhibition of acid secretion. Other features includes diarrhea, steatorrhea, increase in calcium oxalate calculi and increased incidence of cholesterol gall stones.
