Protein loss through third spacing
Production of inflammatory acute phase proteins by the liver
Inappetence or anorexia

29
Q

Which coagulation factors are NOT synthesized in the liver?

A

1) Factor VIII

2) von Willebrands factor

30
Q

About 80% of bilirubin is produced as a breakdown product of what substance?

A

Hemoglobin, which occurs during natural or pathological erythrocyte destruction by the reticuloendothelial system.

31
Q

Bilirubin is transported to the liver bound or unbound?

A

Bound; bilirubin is bound to albumin and is transported to the liver.

32
Q

In the hepatocyte, bilirubin becomes conjugated to what before being excreted into the bile canaliculi?

A

Glucuronic acid; In the hepatocyte, bilirubin becomes conjugated to glucuronic acid before being excreted into the bile canaliculi.

33
Q

Bile acids are synthesized in the liver exclusively from what?

A

Cholesterol; Bile acids are synthesized in the liver exclusively from cholesterol.

34
Q

Bile acids are conjugated with what in dogs?

A

Taurine or Glycine; Bile acids are conjugated with taurine or glycine in dogs.

35
Q

Bile acids are conjugated with what in cats?

A

Taurine; Bile acids are conjugated with taurine in cats.

36
Q

What substance is released from small intestine mucosal cells in response to food entering the duodenum?

A

Cholecystokinin; CCK is released from small intestine mucosal cells in response to food entering the duodenum?

37
Q

What effect does cholecystokinin (CCK) have on gall bladder function?

A

Cholecystokinin causes gall bladder contraction and relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi, facilitating passage of bile into the duodenum.

38
Q

Describe two (2) functions of bile in the intestines.

A

1) Bile salts emulsify fats, aiding in their absorption and digestion.
2) Bile salts bind endotoxins and prevent their absorption into the portal circulation.

Q

Bacteria degrades bilirubin into what in the intestine?

A

Urobilinogen; Bacteria degrades bilirubin into urobilinogen in the intestine.

Q

Urobilinogen is converted into what in the intestine?

A

Posthepatectomy portal pressure of what resulted in significantly lower survival and liver regeneration rates?

A

> 16 mm Hg; Posthepatectomy portal pressure of > 16 mm Hg resulted in significantly lower survival and liver regeneration rates.
