Zusammenfassung

Gastrointestinale Symptome sind bei Palliativpatienten außerordentlich häufig. Sie können durch die Grunderkrankung selbst oder durch deren Therapie ausgelöst werden. Übelkeit und Erbrechen sowie Obstipation sind von besonderer Bedeutung einerseits wegen Ihrer Häufigkeit und andererseits wegen der komplexen Folgeerscheinungen. Eine subtile Anamneseerhebung in Kombination mit wenigen diagnostischen Maßnahmen ebnet den Weg für eine an der Pathophysiologie orientierten Therapie.

Abstract

Symptoms involving the gastrointestinal tract are very common in patients who require palliative treatment. They can be caused by the patient’s underlying (malignant) disease or by the treatment of this disease. Nausea and vomiting as well as constipation are of the utmost importance in this context due both to their frequency as well as their complex consequences. A careful evaluation of the patient’s history combined with a few diagnostic procedures will help to provide a treatment which is orientated on pathophysiology.
