    Summary

    Congenital chloride diarrhoea is a genetic disorder causing lifelong watery diarrhea. Early diagnosis and oral salt replacement therapy are crucial for survival and normal development.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Context:

    • Congenital chloride diarrhoea (CCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder.
    • Characterized by prenatal onset of severe, watery diarrhoea with high fecal chloride.
    • Affects the Cl-/HCO3- exchange mechanism in the distal ileum and colon.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of congenital chloride diarrhoea.
    • To highlight the importance of early and adequate treatment for patient outcomes.

    Summary:

    • The defective Cl-/HCO3- exchange impairs chloride and sodium absorption, leading to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and metabolic alkalosis.
    • Intrauterine diarrhoea can cause hydramnios and premature birth.
    • Diagnosis is confirmed by fecal chloride concentration >90 mmol/L post-correction.
    • Treatment involves aggressive oral replacement of fecal losses (Cl-, Na+, K+, water).

    Impact:

    • Adequate treatment prevents life-threatening dehydration, electrolyte disturbances, and kidney pathology.
    • Normal growth, development, and social adjustment are achievable with proper management.
    • Lifelong oral electrolyte and fluid replacement is necessary, but patients can lead normal lives.
