Hepatobiliary 2 Flashcards
acute (hemorrhagic) pancreatitis
- disease of exocrine pancreas
- occurs after large meal or excess alcohol consumption
- 35-60% have gallstones
prognosis of acute pancreatitis
- most recover completely (5% mortality)
- rare severe chemical peritonitis and shock may lead to ARDS
Where is 60% of carcinoma of the pancreas?
head of pancreas
courvoisier law
painless enlargement of gallbladder w/ jaundice likely due to pancreatic head carcinoma (not stone in common bile duct)
Trousseau sign
- complication of pancreas carcinoma
- migratory thromboplebitis
- 10% of patients
Diabetes Mellitus Type I names
- Insulin Dependent
- IDDM
- Juvenile
- Ketosis prone
Diabetes Mellitus Type 1
5-10% of cases
- failure of insulin synthesis
- depletion of Beta Cells
- Abrupt onset
- carb intolerance
- hyperglycemia
- ketoacidosis
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
non-insulin-dependent
NIDDM
adult onset
ketosis resistant
Diabetes Mellitus type 2
90-95% of cases failure to respond to insulin -increased insulin resistance or deranged insulin secretion -most central obesity + onset after 40 -not prone to ketoacidosis
Diabetes Type 2 and insulin
- mild to mod insulin deficiency
- delayed or inadequate insulin secretion may develop
- insulin resistance (impaired ability to react to circulating insulin; decrease in number of cell surface insulin receptors)
Which type of diabetes has hyperglycemia more often?
Diabetes type 2 has hyperglycemia 5x more often
Which diabetes is ketoacidosis unusual?
Diabetes Type 2 (Stress or surgery)
Predisposing factors of both diabetes
obesity pregnancy trauma infections stress
clinical features of both diabetes
polydypsia polyuria polyphagia weight loss muscle weakness
late complications of diabetes
cardiovascular atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis (more severe and extensive than non-diabetics of the same age + gender)
