Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic vascular insufficiency can lead to malabsorption and alterations in bowel function due to reduced blood flow to the intestines. Hypotension and shock are more commonly associated with acute vascular insufficiency, while bowel obstruction and peritonitis are not typically a direct result of vascular insufficiency. Hepatic and splenic dysfunction may occur in some cases of chronic vascular insufficiency, but it is not as commonly seen as malabsorption and alterations in bowel function.
