Overview
Considering the high mortality rate and intense suffering related to anorexia and bulimia, early detection and aggressive treatment are critical. However, these illnesses are not easy to identify because those affected often have difficulty reporting their behaviors, can present with a normal BMI, and may report symptoms that mimic other conditions. Additionally, most primary and specialty care providers do not receive adequate opportunities for training related to these complex and often overwhelming illnesses. This presentation will provide realistic strategies for recognizing and managing the physical complications of anorexia and bulimia. Screening and assessment will be addressed, including the evaluation of labs and EKGs. This presentation will also address the potentially fatal fluid and electrolyte shifts related to refeeding syndrome and pseudo-Bartter syndrome. GI complications will be emphasized because, while eating disorders profoundly affect nearly every body system, GI symptoms are particularly rampant. Full recovery is possible with appropriate treatment and long-term multidisciplinary support. Hence, the roles of vital treatment team members will be discussed, as well as the level of communication necessary to be successful in treating the patient holistically.
Objectives
- Identify the differences in assessment and laboratory findings among individuals with various eating disorder behaviors.
- Recognize life threatening complications of eating disorder treatment including refeeding syndrome and pseudo-Bartter syndrome.
- Identify assessment and treatment strategies for gastrointestinal complaints related to anorexia and bulimia.
- Recognize value of and how to create a comprehensive interdisciplinary care team.
