21
Q

location of secondary CUCH

A

Periportal

22
Q

where is copper stored

A

stored and encapsulated in hepatocyte lysosomes
therefore inaccessible by chelating drugs

23
Q

when does CUCH become clinically significant

A

Rupture of lysosomes –> free IC copper —> necrosis
when copper > 2000ppm

24
Q

diagnosis of CUCH

A

histology
histochem copper staining

25
Q

treatment of CUCH

A

Chelating drugs actively bind to extracellular copper

26
Q

Copper storage disease in Bedlington terrier

A

progressive accumulation of copper resulting from failure of normal hepatic biliary excretion

27
Q

3 forms of homozygous genotype of Copper storage disease in Bedlington terrier

A

Asymptomatic form
Acute form
Chronic form

28
Q

Asymptomatic form of homozygous genotype of Copper storage disease in Bedlington terrier

A

Only affects young animals
copper in lysosomes
increased ALT
No structural damage

29
Q

Acute form of homozygous genotype of Copper storage disease in Bedlington terrier

A

Young adults
Rare
lethargy
vomiting
depression
anorexia
death within 2-3 days

30
Q

Chronic form of homozygous genotype of Copper storage disease in Bedlington terrier

A

Young/ middle aged
Focal random hepatic necrosis
increased ALT

31
Q

heterozygous genotype of Copper storage disease in Bedlington terrier

A

transient increase in copper

32
Q

autosomal recessive genotype of Copper storage disease in Bedlington terrier

A

remove from breeding

33
Q

Copper storage of dobermanns

A

2 types of chronic hepatitis
Primary Cu toxicosis and CuCH
develop it at a much lower level than in bedlingtons

34
Q

Treatment of abnormal copper storage diseases

A

Copper chelators
D - penicillamine
Zn salt
Antioxidants - SAMe, Vit E, Silymarin

35
Q

D- penicillamine drug

A

not to be used with Zn
decreased copper in liver
increase liver metallothionine

36
Q

Zn salts drugs

A

dont use with chelators or d- penicillamine
decrease intestinal absoprtion of copper
good in case of cholestasis

37
Q

what are the normal leverls of copper

A

<400 ug/ g

38
Q

Lobular Dissecting Hepatitis

A

thought to be a response of the liver to insults at juvenile age

39
Q

Consequences of Lobular Dissecting Hepatitis

A

Portal hypertension –> ascites, APSS
Lymphocytes, plasma cells scattered throughout hepatic lobule
Bands of collagen and reticulin fibres around hepatocytes

40
Q

cause of Non specific reactive hepatitis

A

consequence of extrahepatic diseases
metabolic - cushings, DM, hyper/ o thryoidism
IBD, PLE
Pancreatitis, sepsis, IHA, FIP, toxoplasma

41
Q

Clinical signs of Non specific reactive hepatitis

A

increased; AKT, AKP
Hypoxia
Anorexia
No nerosis

42
Q

cause of Nodular Hyperplasia

A

unknown

43
Q

predisposition to Nodular Hyperplasia

A

older dogs
usually seen PM

44
Q

Lab D of Nodular Hyperplasia

A

Increased ; alp, alt

45
Q

Histopath of Nodular Hyperplasia

A

vacuolised hepatocytes
Normal lobular structure
no fibrosis, necrosis, inflammation

46
Q

Treatment of chronic hepatopathies

A

Prednisolone
Immunosuppressants
Choleretic
Antifibrotic
Antioxidants

47
Q

Prednisolone in chronic hepatopathies

A

Immunosuppressive dose
Improvement of necrotic inflammation and coagulopathy
decreases inflammation

48
Q

other immunosuppressants in chronic hepatopathies

A

cortico steroids
dex
cyclosporine
azathioprine

49
Q

Choleretics for chronic hepatopathies

A

UDCA
hepatoprotective, anti inflam, anti fibrotic
Helps elimination of toxin

50
Q

Antifibrotics for chronic hepatopathies

A

colchicine
prednisolone
D - penicillamine
vit e
UDCA
