      Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine may be elevated secondary to prerenal azotemia. Plain films are very helpful in diagnosing small bowel obstruction and should be part of the initial management of the patient. X-rays of the abdomen commonly reveal gas-filled, distended loops of bowel with air-fluid levels.

      In most healthy adults, the small bowel contains little gas, and only 1 or 2 nondistended gas-filled loops may be seen in the small bowel. However, in the supine position, the duodenum cannot maintain an efficient water trap, and air may pass into the jejunum from the stomach.

When considering the length of the small bowel and its multiple loops and turns (similar to a bowl of spaghetti), it is truly remarkable that the bowel, or parts of it, does not twist on itself (forming a volvulus) more often. The reason for this is the broad mesentary attachment (1,2).
