ASPEN ch 28 pancreatitis Flashcards
__ released in acinar cytoplasm activates ____
trypsin; TNFa, IL1+6, pro-inflam cytokines
cascade of inflam peaks ___ h after inciting event, can lead to ___
24-36; organ failure
poorer outcomes associated with:
alcoholism, starvation, undernutrition, chronic inflammation (obesity)
risk of severe acute pancreatitis is ___x higher in obese
2-3
why alcohol abuse common associated with pancreatitis?
ethanol sensitize pancreas to injury
pancreatitis with alcohol/gene etiology commonly associated with:
ductal stones, strictures, outflow obstruction
90% of AP caused by:
alcohol abuse, gallstones, idiopathic
other causes AP?
drugs, autoimmune/tropical disease ,infection, hypertriglyceridemia, herediatry, malignancy
what is the sentinel acute pancreatitis event (SAPE) hypothesis?
virtually any etiology of AP if severe enough may lead to scarring and end organ damage
autoimmune induced pancreatitis usually associated with:
less severe acute attacks, small duct disease, silent disease–> chronic pancreatitis with malabsorption
ppl with hereditary pancreatitis , particularly ___ mutations, have increased risk of ____
PRSS1; pancreatic cancer
__ lvls ^ in first hours of AP, then ___
amylase; serum lipase
why amylase/lipase presence not specific?
cleared by kidneys so could be ^ if secretion impaired, many organs produce these
^ liver enzymes, or if liver enzymes wax and wane with bouts of ab pain, suggest ___etiology
biliary
nonbiliary causes of AP associated with:
pain steadily ^ then constant
to optimally manage pt and prevent complications, clinicians need to determine:
severity of acute event ASAP
how to determine disease severity?
CT scans assess necrosis, Ranson, Imrie, Apache 2 scores, SIRS criteria, blood tests for CRP
among scoring methods , ____ is more predictive of both severity and clinical outcomes
APACHE 2
early recognition of SIRS can prompt adequate management with __
intravascular volume replacement (prevent ischemic end organ damage)
why end organ damage
hypoperfusion, changes in microvascular blood flow induced by inflamm cascade
most beneficial management strategies for SAP:
ICU, delay CT, early EN, avoid prophylactic antibiotics, treat local complications
___ scans are used therapeutically as well as for dianosis
EUS and ERCP
why stones in common bile duct and pancreatic cysts often misssed?
artifacts from overlying gas and fluid filled bowel
__ scans used to grade AP:
CT
what is grade B pancreatitis?
focal/diffuse enlargement of pancreas
what is grade C pancreatitis?
pancreatic gland abnormalities accompanied by mild parapancreatic inflamm changes
what is grade D pancreatitis?
fluid collection in single location, usually in anterior pararenal space
what is Grade E pancreatitis?
2+ fluid collections near pancreas or gas either within pancreas or within parapancreatic inflam
