GI Flashcards
most common cause of peptic ulcer disease in kids
H pylori»_space;> NSAID/ASA/alcohol
most common site of peptic ulcers in kids
duodenal for primary
gastric for secondary
dx and treatment of hpylori?
endoscopy/bx or urea test or H.pylori stool Ag test (for response to tx monitoring, not initial dx)
Tx: PPI, amox, clarithro
Dx in triad of jaundice, abd mass, intermitt abd pain
Most common type
complication
choledochal cyst: congenital cystic dilation of hepatic biliary tree
Most common type 1: dilation of common bile duct
complications: cholangitis or pancreatitis
Dx of pancreatitis?
Classic sign
AMylase and lipase have to be 3x ULN
classic pain radiating to back
Turner vs Cullen sign?
What are they and what is the dx
pancreatitis
Turner: flank ecchymosis
Cullen: blue umbilicus
metabolic issues causing pancreatitis (2)
hypercalcemia
hyperlipidemia
colicky abd pain (l>R), n/v, palpable renal mass, microscopic hematuria?
UPJ obstruction
type of gallstone seen in sickle cell disease?
Pigmented stone
meds that can precipitate gallstones (3)
ceftriaxone, furosemide, OCPs
transmission of acute intermittent porphyria
autosomal dominant, but variable penetrance
Dx in pt w/ severe intermittent abd pain, n/v, weakness, confusion, seizures
acute intermittent porphyria
triggers for acute intermittent porphyria and how to dx?
low carb intake, meds(sulfa, barbiturate), hormonal changes
Dx: urine porphyrin screen (porphobiligen and ALA during acute attack only) - due to decr RBC porphobilinogen deaminase or DNA testing
When to give immunoglobulin for Hep A? vs Vaccination?
IG: before travel, lasts < 12 wks or after exposure within 14 days (day care/intimate contact)
Also two vaccines which require booster 6-18 mos later for post-exposure prophylaxis too. Used for travelers, hi risk populations, now everyone!
type of virus for hep A
RNA
type of virus for Hep b
DNA
biggest concern for pediatric hep B?
vertical trm from mom - 90% if mom is HBsAg +, and 1/2 may be chronic carriers
when do Hep B core antibodies appear?
IgM then IgG, 1-4 wks after HBsAg (not Ab), and may persist for yrs
symptomatic vs convalescent phase of Hep B infx w/ regard to HBcAb and HBsAb after acute infx
in symptomatic phase: higher HBc and rising HBs
HBs > HBc in convalescent phase
lifetime risk of hepatocellular carcinoma if hep B carrier (HBsAg +)
25%
how to prevent vertical transmission of Hep B in positive mother?
vaccinate AT BIRTH with HBIG (synergistic)
Think of correlating what with consideration of alpha interferon therapy for Hep B?
ALT!! If its high, better response and expect it to fall. Also may have loss of HBsAg
hep C type of virus
RNA
type of virus Hep E?
RNA
Hep E treatment / prevention?
no vaccine yet. There is pooled immunoglobulin
most common form of viral hepatitis in children in US?
Hepatitis A
mean incubation period of Hep B?
120 days
marker of carrier state in Hep B
surface antigen
is there a chronic carrier state in Hep C?
no.
ASCA vs P-ANCA in UC vs crohn’s
ASCA more in Crohns
P anca more in UC
UGI/Small bowel follow throw in crohns
T1 nodularity, narrowing separation of bowel loops
when is peak neonatal bili and jaundice and what levels
peak bili 8-12 usually, max 15 for physiologic
occurs at day 4-6, with jaundice by day 2-3
Crigler Najjar defect?
Presentation
Tx?
UDP glucuronyl absence
presents w/ severe hyperbili, grey stool, lt urine in neonate
Tx: PB in type two, or trp
classic hyperbili/jaundice with stress / fasting
Transmission
Gilberts
autosomal dominant, incomplete penetrance or AR
most common cause of cholestatic hyperbili in newborn?
A1AT
Dx in baby with jaundice at 2 wks, acholic stool, and HSM
Extrahepatic biliary atresia
two forms of biliary atresia in baby?
embryonic: jaundice at birth and other anomalies
perinatal: most w/ obliteration of previously formed bile ducts
What is Alagille’s syndrome
presentation
genetics
liver failure from paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts and cardiac (pulm stenosis and tetralogy) and other anomalies incl butterfly vertebrae, renal, delay, triangle face
JAGGED 1 autosomal dominant with incomplete penetration
most common cause of acute liver failure in newborn
The lab finding?
neonatal hemochromatosis
Normal AST/ALT or absent b/c liver is shot.
most common place for foreign body to lodge? then?
esophaus: 60-70% below cricopharyngeal
20% at level of aortic arch
10-15% above LES
foreign bodies which might not pass all the way through if its gotten to the stomach?
longer than 5cm or wider than 2cm, may not
dx for dysphagia, droolilng, hoarseness
may have wheezing or vomiting
foreign body ingestion
foreign body in esophagus looks like what on XR? (vs trachea)
AP: face of coin
lateral film shows edge
This indicates Esophagus!
removal of foreign body/coin in esophagus for sx patient?
emergent endoscopy or foley balloon catheter extraction by radiologist
management of foreign body in lower 2/3 of esophagus in asx pt?
repeat xR in 12-24 hours, but if its still there… go get it b/c corrosive (zinc penny) so can’t stay there (ok in stomach, not esoph)
What foreign objects should be removed?
pointed or sharp objects
coins/blunt objects in stomach for up to 4-6 wks
long/large objects
condoms/balloons need surgery / not endoscopy
food or meat stuck in esophagus
who is at risk and what is the treatment
No barium study
should not stay in esoph > 12 hrs (meat enzymes eat esoph)
