- Abstract
Introduction and aim: Chronic constipation, primarily functional, is one of the most common gastrointestinal problems in children and one of the most common reasons for referral to gastroenterologist. With the aim to promote adequate diagnosis and treatment, the Croatian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (HDPGHP) has revised guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of constipation in children. Methods: The available scientific and clinical literature, including the guidelines of relevant European societies, was searched before creating the guidelines. Results: This manuscript represents guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic constipation in children and contains detailed algorithm and practical advice on therapy including doses. Conclusions: Functional constipation is diagnosed based on clinical symptoms and physical examination and can be adequately managed with osmotic laxative therapy.
