A member asked:
What causes constant bowel movement in a dialysis pattient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not dialysis,usually: Wonder if your cause is diabetic related enteropathy. I see this problem in about 3 or 4 every 100 dialysis patients. Usually due to diabetes. Of course infectious diarrhea is possible. See gastroenterology.
