ABSTRACT

El estreñimiento es un cuadro clínico muy frecuente en nuestras consultas, en principio de fácil abordaje y por tanto fácil de obviar en ciertos casos la exploración física y la realización de alguna prueba complementaria, que se puede considerar de poca importancia inicialmente. Pero en ocasiones puede ser causa de dolor continuo e innumerables molestias para la persona que lo presenta, llegando a producir cuadros clínicos graves. Presentamos un caso en el que nuestro paciente presentaba este tipo de enfermedad como antecedente y tras la realización de una breve anamnesis y una correcta y rápida exploración se convirtió en una urgencia quirúrgica (AU)


Constipation is a common health problem in our clinics. At first, we think that a physical examination and additional tests are not necessary. This condition may be considered unimportant initially, but it can give rise to ongoing pain, discomfort, for the many who suffer from it, and sometimes can present with severe clinical symptoms. We present a case of a patient presented with this condition, and after conducting a brief anamnesis and a complete and rapid physical examination, the patient was finally treated as a surgical emergency (AU)

ABSTRACT

La gastropatía por antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINE)es una patología frecuente que debemos tener en cuentaante todo paciente que nos consulte por problemas de dispepsiao astenia de larga evolución. Actualmente se cifran en16.500 las muertes anuales por complicaciones por el consumode estos fármacos y en más de cien mil, los ingresoshospitalarios anuales, datos que pueden darnos una idea dela verdadera importancia del problema. Los factores de riesgoimplicados más frecuentemente y que siempre debemostener en cuenta son la edad (mayor de 65 años), la toma conjuntade más de un AINE, la toma de anticoagulantes o corticoides,ISRS o ISRNS, ulcus o gastropatía previos y la existenciade alguna enfermedad concomitante grave. Otroaspecto a tener en cuenta es la erradicación del Helicobacter(H.) pylori, lo que parece que es coste efectivo y reduce elriesgo de complicaciones gastrointestinales (GI). Ante un pacientecon factores de riesgo en el que vayamos a iniciar untratamiento con AINE o ya lo siguiera por cualquier causa,que tuviera un evento GI, debemos, siempre que se pueda,suspender el AINE y testar el H. pylori para erradicarlo sisale positivo y posteriormente reiniciar el tratamiento conAINE más conveniente (si se puede, siempre el menos gastrolesivo)teniendo en cuenta los factores de riesgo GI y cardiovascularesy asociando un protector gástrico. El papel actualde los COX-2, como AINE y con un riesgo de lesión GImenor que los AINE clásicos, debe tenerse también en cuenta,si bien debe barajarse el riesgo cardiovascular del pacienteen la decisión de dicha alternativa terapéutica (AU)


NSAIDs gastropathy is a frequent disease that we shouldtake into account whenever there is a patient who consultsdue to long term dyspepsia or asthenia. Currently there areabout 16,500 deaths a years due to complicatons from consumptionof these drugs and there are more than one hundredthousand hospitalizations per year. This could give usan idea of the true importance of the problem. The most frequentlyinvolved risk factors and those which should also betaken into account are age (older than 65 years), combineduse of an NSAID, anticoagulants or corticosteroids, SSRI orSNRIS, ulcer or previous gastropathy and the existence ofany serious concomitant disease. Another aspect to consideris the eradication of Helicobacter (H.) pylori, where it seemsthat it is cost effective and reduces gastrointestinal complications.When a patient has risk factors and we are going toinitiate NSAID treatment or continue it for any reason, or ifwhen the patient is taking it for any reason, he or she has aGI event, we should always, when possible, suspend theNSAID and test for H. Pylori to see if it is positive and to eradicateit and then reinitiate the best possible NSAID treatment(if possible, always with the least gastrointestinalharm) considering the GI and cardiovascular risk factors andassociating a gastrointestinal protector. The current role ofCOX-2, as NSAID and with a risk of less GI injury than theclassical NSAIDs should also be taken into account althoughthe cardiovascular risk of the patient should be consideredin the decision of the therapeutic alternative (AU)
