Q

most accurate test for PUD, and what else do we need to do

A

Endoscopy with biopsy

Zollinger-ellison syndrome needs to be ruled out with serum gastrin levels in cases of GERD and PUD that are refractory to medical management.

A

serum anti-tTG iGa (anti tissue transglutaminase)
Antiendomesial antibodies

small b owel mucosal (mostly duodenum) biopsy is DIAGNOSITIC

33
Q

2 major types of IBD

A

chrons and ulcerative colitis

34
Q

chrons disease definition

A

Chronic transmural inflammatory disorder potentially affecting the entire gut from mouth to perianal region “gum to bum”

35
Q

chron’s disease pathology terms to know + loc

A

ileum + ascneding colon
cobblestone appearence
granulomas

Young age, perianal disease, and need for corticosteroids have been associated with poor prognosis

36

37
Q

Ulceritive Colitis def

A

Inflammatory disease affecting colonic mucosa anywhere from rectum (always involved) to cecum

confined to mucosa, confined from colon to rectum

risk is less in smokers?

38
Q

hallmark symptom of lcerative colitis

rectal bleeding

though it starts as non bloody diarrhea, then progresses

39
Q

common complications with ulverative colitis

A

greater risk of colorectal cancer

toxic megacolon (colon diameter > 6cm on)

40
Q

histology - chrons vs ulcerative colitis

A

chrons has skip lesions and granulomas

UC only mucosal, no skip lesions or granumolas

41
Q

complications of chrons vs UC

A

CHRONS- strictures, fistuales, perianal disease

vs

US- toxic megacolon
