SMALL INTESTINALDISORDERS

ANSWERS
1. D. SGLT1
• SGLT1 enables absorption of sodium (and water) when coupled with glucose
• Some infections (e.g. enteropathogenic E.coli) inhibit the activity of SGLT1, rendering oral
rehydration therapies less eective
• Targeting ion transporters may provide novel drug therapies for managing infectious diarrhoea
Transporters are transmembrane proteins that mediate transport of ions and other solutes.
Intestinal epithelial cells control the absorption and secretion of electrolytes through various ion
transporters to maintain uid balance. Infectious causes of diarrhoea may aect both secretory
and/ or absorptive transporters. Oral rehydration therapies typically comprise combinations of
glucose, salt, and water, and take advantage of the preservation of SGLT1 function in infectious
diarrhoea. Therefore, sodium and uid absorption can be achieved if glucose is provided while the
(usually self- limiting) infection resolves. Novel forms of oral rehydration therapies include starch (to
drive sodium absorption in the colon by providing short chain fatty acids) and zinc (which may work
through altering chloride homeostasis). Enteropathogenic E.coli can inhibit the activity of SGLT1,
and patients with this infection are less responsive to oral rehydration therapies.
Other ion transporters include the EnaC, which functions in the distal colon to mediate sodium
absorption. This is decreased in murine Salmonella infections. (NKCC1 is located on the basolateral
membrane and supplies chloride for secretion. Expression of this transporter may be increased
in Salmonella and some E.coli infections. CFTR mediates chloride eux from the apical surface
of intestinal epithelial cells and is an attractive target for novel drug therapies. GLUT1 is a glucose
transporter alone and has no role in the function of oral rehydration therapies.

diarrhea. Cell Mol Gastroenterol Hepatol. 208;6():33– 45. Doi:0.06/ j.jcmgh.208.02.009.
2. D. Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)oma
• Typical features of VIPoma include secretory diarrhoea, hypokalaemia, and dehydration
• It is a rare type of functioning neuroendocrine tumour, typically pancreatic
• Somatostatin analogues and surgery form part of management
Patients with VIPoma, or Verner– Morrison syndrome, complain of high- volume diarrhoea despite
fasting and are found to have hypochlorhydria, hypokalaemia (serum potassium <3mmol/ L),
hyperglycaemia, and hypercalcaemia with signs of dehydration. Flushing occurs in 20% of patients
and abdominal pain, fatigue, and bloating may also be present.
VIP stimulates uid and electrolyte secretion from intestinal epithelium and bile duct cholangiocytes.
VIPoma is a rare form of functioning neuroendocrine tumour that aects an estimated 1 in

10million people per year. They are typically pancreatic (over 90%) and are usually diagnosed in
adults, age 30– 50years, and more commonly in women. VIPoma should be suspected in patients
with >700 mL/ day secretory diarrhoea and conrmed with serum VIP greater than 75 pg/ mL.
Cross- sectional imaging may reveal the primary tumour but an octreotide scan or endoscopic
ultrasound may be needed. Management involves uid rehydration with potassium and the use of a
somatostatin analogue (e.g. octreotide) to decrease secretion of VIP. Surgical resection may be needed
but over 50% may be metastatic at the point of diagnosis. Median survival is 96months from diagnosis.
Flushing and diarrhoea can be associated with carcinoid syndrome but it is unusual to develop
profound hypokalaemia. The history is too long for Vibrio cholera infection. Bile acid diarrhoea and
coeliac disease are unlikely in this case.

3. D. Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) inhibits gastric emptying and gastric acid
production, induces small bowel mucosal growth, and stimulates mesenteric
blood ow
• GLP- 2 is intestinotrophic and released in response to luminal nutrients
• GLP- 2 analogues (e.g. teduglutide) are used for the management of short bowel syndrome.
