3. Hepatic / Renal Flashcards
hepatic receives what % of CO
25%
hepatic arterial supply comes from
the aorta via the hepatic artery
hepatic BF intrinsic control
HABR
pressure-flow autoregulation
metabolic control
HABR
hepatic arterial buffer response
what is HABR
reciprocal flow between artery and portal vein
how much affect does pressure0flow autoregulation have on hepatic blood flow?
minimal because other methods have more significant effect
Hepatic BF extrinsic control
neural control
humoral control
neural contreol
potent regulation with autonomic fibers controlling blood flow through portal vein
sympathetic activity can shunt how much blood in dogs
400-500 mL
hepatic/splanchnic arteries have
a1
a2
b2
portal arteries have
a1
a2
liver functions: metabolism
protein metabolism
carb metabolism
lipid metabolism
bile metabolism
liver functions: production
heme production
bilirubin
angiotensinogen
thrombopoetin
liver function: activation
activates T4 to T3
liver function: inactivation
indactivates aldosterone
inactivates insulin
inactivates ADH
breakdown of liver protein metabolism causes
ammonia buildup leading to jaundice
how much albumin is produced daily
12-15 g/day
how much total body protein produced per day
500g
which coags are not produced by the lvier
Factor III
Factor IV
Factor VIII
what should you anticipate in pts with hepatic deraingement?
potential for increased blood loss
Protein S
cofactor for Proteinc C
Protein C
inactivates Factor Viia-Va complexes
Protein Z
facilitates defradations of Factor Xa
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor (PAI)
indirect inhibitor of fibrinolysis
Antithrobin III
inhibits coag
prevents clotting
how much of total heme is produced by the liver
20%
kupffer cell function
protect body from splanchnic blood contaminations
hepatic drug metabolism - phase 1
incr polarity of drug
- adding OH, NH2, SH
- remove lipophilic groups
hepatic drug metabolism - phase 2
incr polatiry by conjugating with water-soluble substrate
hepatic drug metabolism - phase 3
elimination step to excrete into bil
lab tests to evaluate liver
liver function tests
ALT
alanine aminotransferase
ALT normal
5-35 IU/L
ALT tells us
hepatocellular injury
gluconeogenesis
primary liver
AST
aspartate aminotransferase
AST normal
10-40 IU/L
AST tells us
hepatocellular injury
gluconeogenesisi
can be produced in other tissue beds
LDH
lactate dehydrogenase
LDH normal
122-222 IU/L
LDH tells us
hepatocelluar injury
not much different from ALT or AST
LDH trends similarly to
AST and ALT
serum albumin normal
3.5-5.5 g/dL
serum albumin tells us
hepatic protein synthesis
level of oncotic pressure
protein binding in plasma
PT
prothrombin time
PT normal
12-14 seconds
PT tells us
hepatic protein synthesis
shortage of procoagulants
ALP
alkaline serum phosphatase
ALP normal
10-30 IU/L
ALP tells us
cholestatic disorder
hepatic injury
malignancy
serum bilirubin normal
0.2-1.1 mg/dL
serum bilirubin tells us
hepatic excretory function
level of jaundice
halothane can cause what to liver
hepatitis with long-duration use
incr MAC will ______ total hepatic blood flow
incr MAC = decr THBF
incr MAC will ______ hepatic arterial O2 delivery
incr MAC = decr hepatic arterial O2 delivery
