Which type of diarrhea is caused by increased production and
secretion of water and electrolyes by the intestinal mucosa into the
intestinal lumen?
a) Secretory diarrhea
Secretory diarrhea is usually high volume diarrhea and is caused by
increased production and secretion of water and electrolytes by the
intestinal mucosa into the intestinal lumen.
b) Osmotic diarrhea
Osmotic diarrhea occurs when water is pulled into the intestines by the
osmotic pressure of nonabsorbed particles, slowing the reabsorption of
water.
c) Mixed diarrhea
Mixed diarrhea is caused by increased peristalsis (usually from
inflammatory bowel disease) and a combination of increased secretion
or decreased absorption in the bowel.
d) Diarrheal disease
The most common cause of diarrheal disease is contaminated food.
