Abstract

Abstract: Chronic diarrhea is a group of clinical syndromes with multiple and numerous causes and the complex pathogenesis.According to the lesions，chronic diarrhea can be divided into gastric-derived type，intestinal-derived type，hepatobiliary and pancreatic-derived type，endocrine disease，neuroendocrine tumor and types with other causes of diarrhea in this article.The causes of chronic diarrhea which can be triggered by multiple organ system diseases are complex.To improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment of chronic diarrhea，the etiology of this disease is now reviewed in this article in order to effectively guide the clinical practice.

Key words: Diarrhea, Pathologic processes, Adult, Review

摘要： 慢性腹泻是一组多病因导致的临床综合征，病因繁多，发病机制复杂。本文依据病变部位，将慢性腹泻分为胃源性、肠源性、肝胆胰源性、内分泌疾病、神经内分泌肿瘤及其他病因所致的腹泻。慢性腹泻病因复杂，多器官系统疾病均可引发，本文对其病因进行综述，旨在提高临床医生对慢性腹泻的认识、有效地指导临床实践、提高临床诊治水平。
