CLIN Flashcards
UGIB vs LGIB Cr/BUN
UGIB: 30:1 (and increased INR)
LGIB normal
renal 20: 1
what pathology is associated with “rapid bolus IV contrast CT 3 days after to assess necrosis”
acute pancreatitis
RF of cholelithiasis
F’s
-female, forty, fertile, fat, FH, fair
and crohns
protective- low fat diet, PA, caffeine, Mg+, Polyunsat fats, high fiber, statin tx, and ASA
what is the estimated fecal osmolarity gap
<50
*high osm gap (>75) seen in osmotic but not secretory diarrhea
hematochezia/melena (LGIB indicator) ddx
- IBD (UC)
- <50 yo (infectious colitis, anorectal dz: fissures/hemorhhoids, MECKEL DIVERTICULUM)
- > 50 yo (malignancy, diverticulosis, ischemic colitis, angiodysplasia
hx associated with gastroparesis
early satiety, N/V 1-3 pp, ab pain
most common noninfectious cause of acute diarrhea
meds (ABX most common)
*but 90% is infectious cause
when is lympgranuloma venerum (fever bloody diarrhea, painful perianal ulcers, and bubobes-inguinal adenopathy) seen
chlaymdia infection of anorectic (proctitis)
what is seen on US of acute cholecystitis
GB thickening, pericholecystic fluid, sonographic murphys sign
physical exam findings of PUD
PE: hyperactive bowels sounds, mild localized tenderness on deep palpation
sx and causes of proctitis
(anorectal infection/inflammation)
sx: anorectal discomfort, tenesmus, constipation, mucus, bloody discharge, psuedodiarrhea
causes: sexually transmitted during anal sex: gonorrhea, clamydia, herpes, or treponema pallidum
what is condylomata accuminata
genital warts due to HPV
should distinguish from condylomata lata in secondary syphilis
dx for acute pancreatitis
2/3 needed
- epigastric pain
- lipase/amylase 3x UL
- CT changes of pancreatitis
sx of AVM
(angioectasias)
- sx: painless bleeding from melena (UGIB) to hematochezia/occult blood (LGIB) seen in patients >70 yo with chronic renal failure or aortic stenosis
sx of N/V (feculent, dirty) constipation and distention and PE of high pitched tinkling bowel sounds
acute small bowel obstruction caused by adhesions
-RF: multiple surgery, diverticulosis, Crohns
two causes of bile salt malabsorption and associated sx
- crohns associated ileal resection
- bacterial overgrowth (tested with breath tests)
sx: mild steatorrhea, secretory diarrhea, minimal weight loss, bleeding tendency (Loss of ADEK), osteoporosis, and hypocalcemia
must stop ___ before fecal antigen test or urea breath test for dx of PPI for fear of false ___
stop PPI to prevent false negative
all celiac patients get ____ due to known complication
get dual energy X-ray densitometry scans to asses for osteoporosis
sx, labs, and PE of acute cholecystitis
sx: fever, severe RUQ pain/tenderness, N/V
PE: jaundice, Murphys sign, palpable GB
labs: increased AST/ALKP/GGT/ serum amylase
when is saponification seen
acute pancreatitis (because decreased calcium)
