Diverticulitis

This concept map summarizes diverticulitis and diverticulosis. Key factors that can lead to these conditions include an inadequate mucosal blood supply, decreased function of mucosal cells, loss of tight junctions between cells, and damage to the mucosal barrier. These changes make the colon more sensitive to food and other stimuli and can allow for bacterial overgrowth or infection. Treatments featured on the map include dietary measures, antibiotics, antacids, anticholinergic drugs, H2 blockers, and misoprostol, which aim to reduce inflammation, infection, and acid secretion.
