GIT 4 Flashcards
Clostridium difficile infection fetcher?
A patient who has risk Abdominal pain Voluminous watery diharrha(rarely bloody) Low-grade fever Leukocytosis
Risk factor?
1) Recent broad-spectrum antibiotic use(Dis. Normal F)
2) Gastric acid suppression(Dis. Normal F)
3) Hospitalization(severely ill)
4) Age >65(immunodeficiency and have risk of above 3-factor exposure)
Pathogenesis?
Disruption of normal flora—CD overgrowth—release enterotoxin A and cytotoxin B—pass EC–epithelial cell loss TJ and apoptosis–diarrhea.
diagnosis?
Stool PCR for CD toxin
Stool EIA for CDT and Glutamate DHG antigen
complication?
fulmitant colitis
Toxic megacolon
fulminant colitis?
- Most severe form of uncomplicated acute colitis, with intense symptoms, high fever, and some- times colectasia.
- Is also used synonymously with that of acute severe colitis
Toxic megacolon?
An acute form of colonic distension.
It is characterized by a very dilated colon (megacolon), accompanied by abdominal distension (bloating), and sometimes fever, abdominal pain, or shock.
Risk factors: Chronic bowel disease
Complications: Septic shock, perforation of the …
Other names: Megacolon toxicum
Prognosis: Fatal without treatment
Treatment of TM?
Antibiotic
Colectomy if have peritonitis and not respond to Ab
Not do a procedure that increases the risk of perforation(endoscopy and enema)
Management?
Oral vancomycin/fidaxomicin
Infection control
Infection control?
Hand hygiene with soap and water
Contact precaution
Nocturnal dharrha Indicates?
Secretory diarrhea(develop during fasting)
cause?
Chronic GI infection
Microscopic colitis
Bile salt diarrhea
Hormonal increament(VIP/Gastrine)
Symptom of celiac disease?
Bulky, foul-smelling stool fatigue, loss of muscle, and SCF? anemia bone pain and # easy bruising(K deficiency) hyperkeratosis(A deficiency)
Diagnosis?
Villous atrophy, crypt hyperplasia, and submucosal LC
IGA-anti endomysial, tissue glutaminase
serum IgA level and IgG if negative IgA Ab if strong suspicion(B/C IgA deficiency is common)
Collagenous colitis?
Chronic diarrhea
Normal mucosa with supepitelial collagen deposition
UGI bleeding secondary to varices TX?
Fluid resuscitation
Prophylactic Ab(decrease infn, recurrence and mortality)
Endoscopic ligation(repeat after 1-2 wk)should be done within 12 Hr
Octreotide
Secondary prophylaxis with beta-blocker after ligation
Balloon tamponade (uncontrolled bleeding until definitive management(TIPS or shunt) done.
Serial HCT if HGB>9 and transfuse if it is less than this.
Patient with ascitis and rise ascitic bilirubin level indicate?
Biliary tract or bowel perforation
Abdominal pain and sign of peritonitis
brown(bilious ascitis
ascitis secondary to PH color?
straw-yellow color
low glucose and high LDH in AF?
Infection
Malignancy
Bowel perforation
In pancriatic ascitis?
Increase amylase
increase TG?
chylous ascitis
Diverticular bleeding?
massive bright red bleeding(b/C arterial)
no pain
How to D/T with heamoroid?
Hemorrhoid has minimal bleeding and has irritation symptoms like frequency.
Management of DB?
mostly resolve
endoscopic or surgical intervention.
Hepatic hydrothorax?
Pleural effusion in cirrhosis patient
common I right(passage of ascitic fluid in right b/c of muscle less in right)
The patient will have dyspnea, cough, pleuritic chest pain and hypoxemia.
PE in CXR
Management?
fluid restriction and diuretics
thoracentesis if sever symptom
Don’t do C-TUBE–loss of fluid, protein, electrolyte, and RF risk.
What to investigate in patients with sepsis of clostridium skepticum and streptococcus bovis?
Colonoscopy(Both highly associated with colonic ca)
Chest pain relieved by nitrate differential?
ACS
Diffiuze esophagial spasm
CM of microscopic colitis?
watery diarrha fecal urgency and frequancy abdominal pain fatigu wight loss artheralgia common in older women
Trigers?
Smoking
drugs like NSAID,SSRIand PPI
Autoimune disease increase risk
pathology?
show both lymphocytic infilitrasion
collaginous collitis:subepithelial collagen band thikning
lymphocytic colitis:lymphocyte accumulation in lamina propria
Normal mucosa
managment
avoid trigaseers
if diharrha persisit–bedisonide/antidiharreal like loperamide
benifit of alcohol abestienance in patient with A.coirrhosis?
Decrease liver inflamation
Decease portal pressure
increase survival
Baclofen can be used for craving
