digestive disorderas Flashcards
Normal Liver-stroma
Reticular fibers
- chomphor cell
- eto cell
- endoth. cell
Normal Liver-parenchyma
Hepatocytes -lrg cells w/ lots of organelles -stem cells like=Divide/regen. during lost hepatocyte -Function :detox :bile production :blood prot. :glycogen storage
Normal liver-received blood from which organ
Directly from GIT
-perfusion determine susceptibility to toxin
Normal liver-vasculature and system
Supportive via proper hepatic artery
Incre. O2 level
Normal Liver-Vasculature function
Digestive tract
Via Portal Vn=incre. Nutrients
Normal liver-blood flow
Blood–>sinusoid-parenchyma(b/w hepatoxyte) –>central vn(sublobular vn–>hepatic vn–>exit liver)
Normal liver-portal triad
Liver receives BF from 3 BV -bile duct=bile produce b/w hepatocyte and flow periphers (away central vn) -hepatic art=incre. O2 :goes to central vn. -Portal vn=incre. nutrients :goes to central vn :from GIT :kaupffer cells=liver res. MAC (w/ endoth. cells)
Normal liver-liver perfusion
Classic hepatic lobule
-drain blood from portal vn/hep. art.–>central vn
Portal lobules=bile drain from hepatocyte to bile duct
:b/w caniculus central vn as pt. in lobules
Portal acinus=supplies O2 blood to hepatocyte
-dif. zone=Z1, Z2, Z3
:incre. O2 and nurtrients=Z1
:decre. O2 and nutrients=Z3
:incre. toxic affect=Z.3 b/c least support
normal liver-liver perfusion parenchyma is divided into how many lobules
3
Liver dis. response to injury
Hepatocytes -degen./intracellular accumulation -death= necrosis/apoptosis Inflammation Regeneration Fibrosis
Clinical Liver Syndromes
Hepatic Failure -no general functions -cells dnt function properly Cirrhosis -disrupt architecture -fibrosis w/ nodules of hepatocytes Portal HTN=incre. R to BF in liver Bilirubin metabolism failure
Can Cirrhosis maintain function and not know
Yes
Functional tissue nodules r suff. for maintenance
Greenish color=bile accum. (b/c bilirubin)
End stg. alcoholic liver~ cirrhosis resulting from other causes
Bilirubin Normally cleared
Senescent RBC r destroyed by phago.
-w/in spleen, liver, BnM
Color=yellowish
W/in fading bruises as RBCs from hemorrhage r removed
-hem brk dwn=produce billirubin (excreted by bile)
Not H2O soluble (pH=7.4)
Bound to albumin
Conj. Biliruben to glucoronic acid from excreted in bile=incre. solubility
-eventually fecal matter
-bile salts in bile is recycled
Bilirubin-abnormal
Cholestasis=impaired bile formation/flow
Incre. Bilirubin=jaundice and Icterus
The cells involved in fibrosis normal actions (when inhibit.)
Quiescent Stellate cel
-b/w space of disse=b/w endoth. and hepatocyte
-lipid droplet w/ vit. A storage
Inactive kupffer cell
Fibrosis pathogenesis
Foreign memb. comp.(carb/lipid) or secretion of memb. outter leaflet +MAC Release cytokine -prolif.=PDGF, TNF -contract=ET-1 -chemotaxis=MCP-1, PDGF Activation of stellate cells -+myofibrils prolif. -contraction -chemotaxis(influx comp.) -fibrogenesis=2ndry to +MAC
Causes hepatitis
Virus=infects hepatocytes
liver damage 2ndry to systemic infection
DONT need virus for hepatitis
Hepatitis-acute clinical synd.
Submassive hepatic necrosis
-Asymp.
:serological evidence
:acute w/ recovery
-Acute symptomatic hepatitis w/ recovery=anicteric or icteric
-acute liver failure=massive hepatic necrosis
Hepatitis-acute Pathology/pathogenesis
Pathology -necrosis (massive hepatocyte damage) Pathogenesis -lymphocyte infiltrate(mononuclear infiltrate) -hepatic damage -maybe bridging necrosis S/S -fatigue, decre. blood sugar, edema and decre. blood prot.
Hepatitis-chronic clincal synd.
Clinical synd.
-w/ or w/o progression cirrhosis
~ presentation to toxic liver injury
Hepatitis-chronic hep. pathology and pathogenesis
Pathology -end. stg. prog. hepatocyte damage -liver recovers from initial inj. Pathogenesis -dense mononuclear-infiltrate -bridging necrosis
Viral hepatitis-3 steps of expression
Virus infects hepatocyte
Hepatocytes express viral antGN
Immune system targets hepatocytes
Viral hepatitis-Cirrhosis is linked to which cancer
hepatocellular carcinoma
Viral hepatitis-acute and chronic basics
Acute -Primary viral=hepatitis A, B, C, D, E -Systemic viral (yellow fever, mononucleosis-EBV) Chronic=unresolved acute injury or from subacute injury -MC=hep. C -Mini.=Hep B/D -immunocomp.=Hep E -NEVER hep A
Viral hepA
2-6wks=fecal HAV -fecal oral infection 2-12 wks -anti-HAV IGM=decre. overtime -anti-HAV IgG Mo. to recover s/s=jaundice
Hep. B infection
1st acute infection -subclinical=recovery -acute hepatitis=recov. or falminant hepatitis (acute hep. fail) -death/transplant -Chronic :western=spont. clear of HbsAg :cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma=death/transplant Histo -necrosis hepatocyte :also seen in hep. A -MAC cluster w/ eosinophilic cytoplasm Test -IHC for HbsAg -ground glass app. for HBsAg eosinophilic accum.
Hep C
Both acute and chronic -serum transaminase -2-26 wls=serum marker for HCV-RNA Acute -recovery w/ anti-HCV for mo. or years Chronic -no recovery -reactivate endogenous HCV strain -new mutant strains
Hep C-immune/histo.
Acidophil body=apoptotic cells
Mononuclear infiltrate=surrounding damage hepatocytes
Viral hep.-consequences
Loss liver function -hypoproteinemia -hyperbilirubinemia -anemia Infection/stress=more damage -cirrhosis may be undx
Chronic hepatitis symp.
S/S=fatigue, malaise, loss of appetite, mild jaundice Blood tests -Serum transaminase is elevated -Hyperglobulinemia -Hyperbilirubinemia Minor hepatomegaly/splenomegaly Hepatic tenderness Tx=symp. and allow it to pass
Drug and toxin liver injury-dis.
cholestatic cholestatic hepatitis -morphology :cholestasis w/ lobular necroinflammatory activity :may shouw bile duct destruction Hepatocellular necrosis -morphology-massive necrosis -assoc. =acetaminophen Fatty liver dis. -morphology=steatohepatitis w/ mallory-denk bodies -assoc. ethanol Fibrosis and cirrhoss -morphology=periportal and pericellular fibrosis -assoc. alcohol Neoplasms -morphology=hepatocellular carcinoma -assoc.=alcohol
Can you have both toxic and viral liver damage
Yes
Produce acute or chronic dis.
Immune response
Hepatocytes are destroyed=cirrhosis
B/C=liver is primary detox organ for the body
-toxins must be eliminated as a potential cuase
Toxic liver Injury
Z. 3=zonal necrosis Portal acinus=perfusion Toxins criteria -predictable/dose dependent Ej=acetaminophen very toxic to liver -idiosyncratic is not does dep. :Isoniazid (Tx TB) :Lovastatin(decre. cholesterol)
Toxic liver inj.-necrosis in liver
Necrotic liver -congested (expand BV and incre. blood -bile accum. -incre. necrosis not fibrosis [ :smaller liver :feel softer(should be tougher) Acetaminophen overdoes -confluent necrosis -zone 3 -surround central vn.
Common liver toxins-acetaminophen
Liver convert reactive intermed. -incre. cell killing in Z. 3 b/c less R to intermed Chlopromazine=dopa antag. -~ to acetaminophen -tx Schizo -form insoluble complex in bile :cholestasis in bile ducts -Metabolites :inhib. memb.-enzyme :improper function
