Cirrhosis patho

A
  1. Cells become fibrotic adn dead -> enlarge
  2. Vessel becomes narrow
  3. Pressure increase, fluid abck up

MRA (aldosteorne antag; spironolactone)

Add Loops to avoid hyperkalemia (40:100 ratio for optimal diuresis

Midodrine to raise bp if needed

LVP if above no longer works (remove 4-8L QOW; give with 8g IV albumin)

Q

Hepatic encephalopathy treatment

A

Remove precipitating factors

Dairy and vegetable protein (even though they make ammonia, these specific proteins are less likely to cross BBB than animal)

Lactulose - traps ammonia in bowel to be eliminated in stool

Rifaximin - decreases the amount of ammonia-producing bacteria in colon

Q

Cirrhosis PKPD changes

A

Decreased blood flow -> higher systemic [ ] of high first pass drugs -> decrease dose

Loss of hepatocyte function -> affects phase I metabolism (CYP) -> try to use drugs with phase II metabolism

Decreased albumin production -> more unbound drug -> more therapeutic effect -> dose decrease

Increased SCr -> decreased renal function

Increased BBB permeability -> increased therapeutic response -> decrease dose

82
Q

What are the macro nutrients and micro nutrients in TPN

A

Macro: protein (amino acids), carbs (dextrose), fats (lipids)

Micro: electrolytes, vitamins, trace elements

83
Q

When to use TPN in adults

A

ONLY IF PT UNABLE OR UNLIKELY TO RECEIVE ADEQUATE NUTRITION FROM ENTERAL ROUTE

After 7 days in nutritionally stable pts

Within 3-5 days in nutritional at-risk pts (increased metabolic requirements, BMI <18.5, involuntary weight loss)

ASAP in pts with moderate-severe malnutrition

84
Q

When to use TPN in peds

A

If unable to tolerate enteral nutrition for extended period of time
- 1-3 days for infants (1mo-1yr)
- 4-5 days for children (1-10 yrs)

Very low birth weight (<1.5 kg): ASAP
Pre term and critically ill neonate: ASAP

85
Q

3 in 1 TPN

A

TNA

Contains all 3 maco nutrients in 1 bag, potential destabiliziation when lipids added (creaming safe to use after massaging, cracking, not safe)

Minimum of 4% amino acid, 10% dextrose, 2% lipids

86
Q

2 in 1 TPN

88
Q

kcal and mOsm of amino acids

A

89
Q

Nitrogen balance

A

A

3.4 kcal/gm

5 (mOsm * L)/g

91
Q

A

92
Q

Lipid infusion requirements

A

1.2 micron filter (anything smaller will filter out the fat)

0.15 g/kg/hr max infusion rate in peds
0.11 g/kg/hr max infusion rate in adults

Hang time only 12 hrs

93
Q

How to reduce Ca-phos precipitation risk

A

Put phos in first and Ca in last
Lower pH
Low temp
Quick hang time
Use Ca gluconate

94
Q

How to handle metabolic acidosis and alkalosis in TPN pts

A

Acid: increase acetate, decrease Cl
Base: decrease acetate, increase Cl

95
Q

How to evaluate appropriateness of TPN

A
  1. Evaluate fluid goal and energy requirement
  2. Calcualte kcal/day, g/day and mL for each macronutrient
  3. Determine final [ ] of dextrose, protein, lipids
  4. Calculate electrolyte dose
  5. Select appropriate anion balance
  6. Performs safety checks
    1. Lipid infusion rate
    2. Glucose infusion rate
    3. Estimate Osm for proteins and dextrose
    4. Check line/access
    5. If 3-in-1 ensure stablity
96

A

Lubiprostone (Amitiza)

Mu peripheral antags

- Naldemidine

98
Q

Corticosteroid AE

A
  • Hyperglycemia (increase in blood glucose)
  • Increased bp
  • Insomnia
  • Agitation/manic-type feelings
  • Do NOT give with NSAIDs → increased risk of GI ulceration
99
Q

Q

JAKi BBW

A

  • MACE (cardiac)
  • Thrombosis
  • Cancer
  • Death

because so many BBW, ony used int pts who have failed therapy with 1 or more anti-TNF alpha

102
Q

Anti-TNF alpha BBW

A
  • Infection - prior to starting, need:
    - PPD
    - Chest x-ray
    - Ciral hepatitis screening
    - HIV screening
    • If pt gets active infection, stop biologic (even though the maintenance dose is typically QOW)
  • Malignancy - particularly lymphoma particularly when taken with azathioprine
103
Q

When should you prophylactically use PPIs against NSAID PUD

A

If pt is starting ASA + P2Y12 and has 2 of the following
- Older age (65+)
- Hx of PUD
- Conmitttant drug use (anticoag, antiplatelets, steroids)
- Non-COX selective NSAIDs
- High dose
- Multiple NSAIDs (e.g. asa + ibuprofen)

104
Q

Alarm symptoms in pts complaining of GERD

A
  • Substernal pain → can be cardiac instead
  • Blood → could be GI bleed
  • Unexplained weight loss → could be cancer
  • Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
  • Anorexia
105
