A

Absorbed proximal duodenum (Iron Fist Bro)

Needs acid environment, so antacids

chloroquinolones, tetracyclines (chelate), bunch of foods, BYPASS may need infusions

34
Q

Where is folate absorbed? When can it be deficient?

A

Duodenum and jejunum (Iron Fist Bro)

Poor nutrition, alcoholism, goats milk (low folate))

35
Q

Where is B12 made? When is it deficient?

How do you test for deficiency?

A

Terminal ileum

Malnutrition (rare)
Decreased absorption: pernicious anemia is autoimmune destruction of parietal cells (so no intrinsic factor

Schilling test. give radiolabedl cyanocobalamin (B12) to see how it is absorbed. normal is 8% or more absorption and recovered in urine

36
Q

What is abetalipoproteinemia? Presentation?

Finding on smear?

A

AR can’t make apolipoprotein B (the beta in the name) and can’t make chilomycrons to leave enterocytes.

Enterocytes fill with chylomicrons and get fat

No VLDL, LDL. PRESENTS as malabsorption, ataxia in early childhood and failure to thrive

You get acanthocytes (b/c no Vit E)

Trophyryma whipplei (gram positive)

also, weight loss, lymphadenopathy, HYPERPIGMENTATION

Juvenile: very young kids in rectum: just one? no problem, multiple: JUVENILE POLYPOSIS syndrome and risk of caner

Hamartomatous: Peutz jeghers: Multiple benign hamartoma (hyperpigmented mouth, lips, hands, genitalia) and more risk of CRC

50

Also for pancreatic cancer (along with CA19-9)

59
Q

Which zone is susceptible to ischemia, and toxic injury. Why?

Which zone susceptible to hepatitis?

A

Zone three is susceptible to ischemia b/c farthest from fresh blood (zone three is around central vein) and MOST CYP450!!

Heptatitis hits zone 1

60
Q

Gilbert

Crigler Najjar II

Crigler Najjar I

Dubin Johnson

Rotor

A

less UDP glucuronyl transferase than ideal, but asymptomatic, to symptomatic, to it could kill you

Dubin Johnson: black liver b/c can’t excreted conjugated bilirubin

Rotor is dubin johnson “light”

61

What causes hand to flap?

A

asterixis is from hepatic encephalopathy and can’t maintain wrist extension

62

NEED TO BAND the varicose.

Beta blockers can prevent it too

TIPS: transjugular intrahepatic portsystemic shunt to relieve pressure by skipping liver

63

ps interferon beta is MS

75
Q

Follow billirubin digestion:

A

Heme to uncon bilirubin which hops one with albumin to liver to be conjugated

UDP glucuronosyltransferase (deficient in some Gilber/Criglerr Najar) and out liver in BILE (can’t if dubin johnson)

Gut bacteria break it to Urobilinogen which can be shit out as stercobilin or absorbed again and excreted in kidney as UROBILIN

76
Q

pANCA is associated with UC. What biliary issues would you potentially see on ERCP if purritis, jaundice, dark urine and light stools and hepatosplenomegaly?

A

Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: Beads on a strong.

IgM can happen. Can lead to cholangiocarcinoma

Labs: high conjugated bilirubin, cholesterol and ALP (makes sense)

77
Q

How do you recognize difference in primary biliary cirrhosis and primary sclerosis cholangitis? What is mechanism for each?

Tx?

A

PBC is AUTOIMMUNE (so think middle aged women) and lymphocytic infiltrate.

Tx: UROSODIOL which is a bile acid which decreases liver synth of bile and slows progression and better survival

BSC is with bile duct fibrosis and unsure cause but SRING OF BEADS on ERCP.

Dfinitive Tx is liver transplant

78
Q

Cholecystitis vs cholangitis?

A

cystitis is cyst (meaning pouch) meaning gall bladder. MURPHY SIGN

cholangitis means just the biliary tree

79
