A bowel obstruction can go undiagnosed and untreated despite examinations by a number of lines of defense: an emergency room physician, a primary care physician and a surgeon. The result can be multi-system organ failure, final stage renal disease and the urgent need for a kidney transplant.
As in most cases of serious and potentially catastrophic injury, diagnosis and treatment of bowel obstruction must be performed in a timely manner in order to avoid serious injury and numerous complications.

When the large or small intestine is blocked, symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain and bloating. A battery of tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis and treatment of small intestine obstruction.
A physician who suspects the presence of a bowel obstruction should conduct an abdominal X-ray and CT scan to determine the problem's source and determine if the obstruction is partial or complete.
