Cardiovascular (I00-I99).
- Aortic aneurysm (outpouching of the aorta that has ruptured) or abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA); symptomatology: abdominal pain ranging from mild tightness to excruciating pain; it should be considered in patients >50 years of age who complain of abdominal pain or back pain, with concomitant “pulsatile abdominal tumor”; incidence for asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm ranges from 3.0 to 117 per 100,000 person-years
Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).
- Echinococcosis – infectious disease caused by the parasites Echinococcus multilocularis (fox tapeworm) and Echinococcus granulosus (dog tapeworm).
Liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts – Pancreas (pancreas) (K70-K77; K80-K87).
- Gallbladder disease: cholelithiasis (gallstones).
- Liver cyst
- Pancreatic cyst
Mouth, esophagus (food pipe), stomach and intestines (K00-K67; K90-K93).
- Diverticulitis (also consider in younger patients, < 40 years); sigmoid diverticulitis (diverticulitis of the S colon).
- Ileus (intestinal obstruction):
- Mechanical: external (adhesions, brides, tumor) or internal (colon carcinoma, gallstone ileus, fecal stones), with strangulation (e.g., incarcerated hernia, volvulus); symptoms: hyperperistalsis with ringing bowel sounds, vomiting, retention of stool and wind (meteorism)
- Paralytic (transit peritonitis!)
- Crohn’s disease – chronic inflammatory bowel disease; it usually progresses in relapses and can affect the entire digestive tract; characteristic is the segmental affection of the intestinal mucosa (intestinal mucosa), that is, several intestinal segments may be affected, which are separated by healthy sections of each other
- Toxic megacolon – toxin-induced paralysis and massive dilatation of the colon (expansion of the colon: > 6 cm; lack of haustration/natural bulges in the wall of the colon, which is accompanied by acute abdomen, vomiting, clinical signs of shock and sepsis; complication of ulcerative colitis; lethality (mortality based on the total number of people suffering from the disease) is about 30%.
Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48).
- Cervical carcinoma (cervical cancer).
- Endometrial carcinoma (cancer of the uterus)
- Colon carcinoma (cancer of the large intestine)
- Liver tumor
- Gastric carcinoma
- Kidney tumor
- Ovarian cancer (ovarian cancer)
- Pancreatic carcinoma (pancreatic cancer)
- Peritoneal carcinomatosis (extensive infestation of the peritoneum (peritoneum) with malignant tumor cells).
- Retroperitoneal tumors (tumors of the posterior abdomen (retroperitoneum); palpation findings (palpation findings) in the middle abdomen).
- Tumors of any kind in the abdominal region.
Pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium (O00-O99)
- Pregnancy
Symptoms and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings not elsewhere classified (R00-R99)
- Hepatomegaly (enlargement of the liver).
- Ischuria (urinary retention)
- Meteorism (air in the colon / large intestine).
- Splenomegaly (enlargement of the spleen
Genitourinary system (kidneys, urinary tract – reproductive organs) (N00-N99)
- Hydronephrosis (congestive kidney).
- Renal cyst
- Ovarian cyst (ovarian cyst), often functional cysts/ovarian tumors; proportion of malignant (malignant) disease:
- Premenopausal: 15% malignant tumors.
- Postmenopausal: 50% malignant tumors
- Uterus myomatosus (fibroids (benign muscular growths) of the uterus).
Legend: In bold, diseases of the female reproductive organs.
