72
Q

INC Alk phosph

A

next step/? RUQ – assess intrahepatic or extrahepatic bili obstruction

73

Diarrhea actually losses Bicarb leading to nongap ACIDOSIS. Vomiting alkalosis (saline responsive)

75
Q

Free air w/ history tx algorithim?

A

Urgent surgery consult. Emergent x lap. After CXR showing free air , no other imaging needed.

76
Q

A

Proximal small intestine (NOT TERMINAL ILEUM)

80
Q

Can you treat Chronic Hep C? If considered for tx usu undergo

A

Yes, tx chronic hep c. undergo LIVER BIOPSY, best clinical predictor and assesses likelihood of response to tx. Those who have more cirrhosis/fibrosis usually respond better to tx.

81
Q

Manometry, achalasia vs systemic sclerosis

A

Achalasia INC tone, failure to relax. SS fibrosis and atrophy leads to hypomotility and incompetence of LES>

82
Q
