Neuro - peripheral neruopathy

59
Q

A

neural tube defects - it inhibits the absorption of folic acid

60
Q

How to treat hepatic encephalopathy?

A

*Remember it’s caused by hyperammonemia from liver failure (cirrhosis) to convert ammonia to urea; will see AMS and asterixis

Rifaximin - alters intestinal flora in order to decrease intraluminal ammonia production
Lactulose - increases conversion of ammonia to ammonium ion

61
Q

Q

What kind of drugs are preferentially eliminated by the liver?

A

Drugs that are lipophilic and have a high volume of distribution
Lipophilicity kind of informs volume of distribution - easily crosses membranes

*Lipophilic is good to get into the liver because it can cross HC membrane and fits easily into bile to be excreted; bad in kidneys because it will easily go back into the tubular cells from the lumen

63
Q

When to use MAOIs?

A

For patient with the Atypical subtype of major depression, characterized most by mood reactivity, plus leaden paralysis, rejection sensitivity, and increased sleep and appetite.
MAOIs aren’t really used for anything else anymore (except atypical and refractory major depression) because of the side effect profile.

*Don’t use BZDs because of the risk of dependence/tolerance and rebound toxicity with discontinuation

65
Q

Mu opioid receptors - MOA

A

GPCRs that regulate K conductance

When opioids bind, they increase K efflux which hyperpolarizes the cell and terminated pain transmission
