Bowel Path III Flashcards
tropical sprue
developing countries
bacterial overgrwoth of cyclospora, e coli, hemophilis
physical and neuro deficits
tx with broad antibiotics usually unsuccessful
autoimmune enteropathy
x-linked disorder
persistant diarrhea
-young children
IPEX- foxp3 mutation - defective CD4
foxp3 mutation
IPEX - defective CD4
with autoimmune enteropathy
lactase deficiency
congeintal - rare - auto recessive
acquired - with infection
histo bx is unremarkable
osmotic diarrhea**
avoid milk products - may resolve over time
aka disaccharidase deficiency
abetalipoproteinemia
rare auto recessive
-presents at infancy
- failure to thrive, diarrhea, steatorrhea
- MTP mutation
failure of transepithelial transport of lipids
see lipid vacuolization of epithelium**
lack of apolipoprotein B48 and B100
abetalipoproteinemia - cannot transport lipids across epithelium
malabsorption of fat soluble vits
acanthocytosis
abnormal star shaped RBCs
burr cells
in abetalipoproteinemia
abetalipoproteimia
degeneration of retina - Vit A
neuropathies - vit E
genetic test - necessary for diagnosis
chronic relapsing abdominal pain, bloating, changes in bowel habits
IBS - syndrome
clinical diagnosis**
IBS
clinical diagnosis
-20-40yo F
clinical criteria:
- abdomen pain 3 days per month over 3 months
- improvement with defecation
- change in stool frequency or form
avoid surgery**
IBD
crohn and ulcerative colitis
altered mucosal immunity
ulcerative colitis
limited to colon and rectum and only to mucosa/submucosa
crohn disease
transmural - and any part of GI tract
noncaseating granuloma in mouth
crohn until proven otherwise
IBD path
abnormal T cell response
-CD4 T cells - Th17
pANCA
in ulcerative colitis
ASCA
in crohn disease
crohn disease
white, jews, females
smoking - risk fx
20-30yo
60-70yo
unaffected skip areas, transmural mucosa, noncaseating granulomas, fistula formation
crohn disease
creeping fat
crohn disease
-serosal extension of mesenteric fat
cobblestone
crohn disease
