A

nope

37
Q

mild vs severe nutr concerns?

A

wt loss from muscle catabolism minimal vs. hypermetabolic similar to sepsis (ox stress, catabolism SIRS)

38
Q

nutr decline in AP can result from reduced oral intake due to:

A

ab pain, nausea, vomiting, ileus, pancreatic rest

39
Q

why malabsorb and maldigest?

A

v enzyme output

40
Q

why excess pro loss?

A

steatorrhea, pancreatic fistulas, inflamm of peritoneal/retroperitoneal surface

41
Q

hyperglycemia risk relate to:

A

degree of pancreatic inflam, necrosis, obesity, prediabetes

42
Q

damage to inflam islet cells leads to decreased ___ production and impaired __ metabolism, resulting in hypertriglyceridemia from inadequate glucose control and v of lipoprotein lipase

A

insulin; lipid

43
Q

why v calcium?
