- associated w/ splenomegaly
- LFT abnormal
- most common cause splenic vein thrombosis
Associated w/ splenomegaly
115
List 1 cause of extra hepatic versus intrahepatic causes of portal HTN.
Extra-hepatic:

117

- hepatomegaly
Extra-hepatic etiology signs:
- caput medusa
- splenomegaly

- Puramino
130
What are bugs that cause bloody stool? Which treated?
E coli (no tx)
Shigella (no tx)
Salmonella
* Tx if: <3 month OR immunocompromised
- Amox or TMP-Sx
Campylobacter (consider)
* - Abx if bloody stool, fever, severe course, immunosuppressed
- Azithro/erythro x 5d (shorten duration, and prevent relapse)
- Cipro can be used (high resistance)
Yersinia
Stenotrophomonas
131

AD
| Unconjugated
132
Most common indication for liver transplant in kids:
Biliary Atresia

134
List liver failure complications:

- ALP HIII
- ALP Norma but all other high
AST> ALT:

Upper endoscopy and colonoscopy
MRE
```

Treatment of IBD: UC vs. Crohn's
** Rescue Steroids anytime!
CD
- rare: 5-ASA (mesalamine)
- Immune modulators: MTX (M), Azathioprine (Imuran)

- Biologic: Infliximab (Remicade)
- Sx
143
What is gold standard to dx Biliary atresia?
HIDA Scan + Bx
Scan can be negative. BX key to ensure intrahepatic fine (not Alagille)
Need to do Kasai within 1-2 mo.
144
Post Kasai Nutrition:
ADEK
| Progestrimil (MCT oil) or BF with MCT
145
Way to remember Alagille?
Intrahepatic biliary atresia!
```
Triangle face
Smooth broad forehead
posterior embryotoxon
long nose
pancreatic insuff
butterfly vertebrae
```
146
Triad of Eosinophilia Esophagitis?
GERD
Hx of atopy
FHx of EoE or atopy
147
How do you manage EoE?
*ALL PPI*
Severe= Food impact=
= PPI
+ Inhaled steroid (no aerochamber and turn upside down thens swallow)
+/- food protein elimination diet
Mild-Mod= PPI to see if responsive or not
If no change= Bx and then start same treatment as severe.
148
NG now dumping. What's up?
- feed given too fast
- formula too hyperosmolar
- tube displaced (put Jejunum)
