Hepatobiliary 1 Flashcards
What are your 4 portals of entry into the liver?
Direct extension
Hematogenous spread
Retrograde Biliary Infection-ascending
Retrograde Pancreatic ductular infection-ascending from intestines through pancreatic duct
Sublethal injury and degeneration results in?
autophagy of damaged organelles and accumulation of lipofuscin pigment
Specific areas of degeneration and necrosis that are restricted to a particular portion of the hepatic lobule is considered?
Zonal Necrosis
What kind of necrosis occurs with hypoxic injury?
Centrilobar hepatic necrosis-Zone 3
Other than hypoxic injury, when else can Zone 3 become necrotic
hepatotoxicity
Why is zone 3 most susceptible to hepatotoxicity?
Mixed function oxidases which are present in zone 3. They function in the metabolism of drugs and toxins-Cyt450
If you have hemolytic dz what kind of hyperbilirubinemia would this cause?
Prehepatic
What occurs with obstruction of the extrahepatic bile ducts?
Extrahepatic cholestasis
What occurs with impairment of bile flow within the canaliculi
Intrahepatic cholestasis
What parts of the liver can regenerate?
All
What leads to the progressive loss of function due to loss of normal architecture and less efficient hepatic lobules with fibrosis and altered blood supply?
Chronic injury and regeneration leads to this
What is an increase in the amount of collagen within the liver?
Hepatic fibrosis
What cells produce collagen in the liver?
Stellate cells within the space of Disse
What dz would cause biliary hyperplasia?
biliary inflammation, obstruction, and cholestasis
Also considered to be a non-specific response to a variety of liver insults
What are 4 causes of end stage liver
Chronic hepatoxicity
chronic hepatitis/cholangiohepatitis
chronic biliary obstructive dz
chronic degenerative liver dz
