Severe hyperchloremic acidosis complicating jejunoileal bypass.

T J Fuller, L C Garg, R F Harty

    Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics
    |April 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Severe hyperchloremic acidosis is a late complication of jejunoileal bypass surgery for morbid obesity. Neurological symptoms like confusion and loss of consciousness necessitate prompt medical intervention and potential surgical revision.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Nephrology
    • Bariatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Jejunoileal bypass surgery was historically used for morbid obesity treatment.
    • Metabolic complications can arise as late sequelae of intestinal bypass procedures.

    Observation:

    • Two patients developed severe hyperchloremic acidosis months after jejunoileal bypass.
    • Symptoms included dizziness, ataxia, headache, weakness, confusion, and transient loss of consciousness.

    Findings:

    • Metabolic acidosis was confirmed, with renal tubular acidosis excluded.
    • Bicarbonate therapy offered temporary symptom relief but did not resolve the acidosis.
    • Surgical revision of the intestinal bypass was ultimately required for correction.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider metabolic acidosis in patients with a history of jejunoileal bypass presenting with neurological symptoms.
    • Early recognition and management, potentially including surgical revision, are crucial for favorable outcomes.
    • This highlights the importance of long-term monitoring for metabolic disturbances after bariatric surgery.
