Q

When there’s a reduction in portal vein blood flow, the hepatic arterial buffer response compensates by ________ through the hepatic ________.

__________ impairs this response, making the diseased liver even more susceptible to hypoperfusion

A

When there’s a reduction in portal vein blood flow, the hepatic arterial buffer response compensates by increasing flow through the hepatic artery.

Severe liver disease impairs his response, making the diseased liver even more susceptible to hypoperfusion.

38
Q

What is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the US?

A

Acetaminophen Overdose

39
Q

What is the most common cause of Drug-Induced hepatitis?

A

Alcohol

It impairs fatty acid metabolism, which causes fat accumulation in the liver. This leads to hepatomegaly.

40
Q

__________ impairs fatty acid metabolism, which causes fat accumulation in the liver. This leads to hepatomegaly.

A

Alcohol

41
Q

Acetaminophen Overdose treatment

A

42
Q

Max dose of Acetaminophen

A

4g/day

43
Q

Drug-Induced Hepatitis manifestation

A

Usually associated with a late-onset.

It typically presents 2 - 6 weeks after the insult. However, it can be as long as 6 months.

It’s clinically indistinguishable from viral hepatitis, so laboratory analysis is required

44
Q

Most common cause of chronic hepatitis

A

Alcoholism

45
Q

The second most common cause of chronic hepatitis

A

Hepatitis C

46
Q

Diagnosis of Chronic hepatitis include

48
Q

In Chronic hepatitis the
______is prolonged and ________ is decreased

A

PT prolonged
Albumin Decreased

49
Q

For ________ hepatitis, non-emergent surgery should be postponed until symptoms have resolved and liver function tests return to normal.

For _______ hepatitis, the patient may undergo surgery if the condition is stable.

A

For acute hepatitis, non-emergent surgery should be postponed until symptoms have resolved and liver function tests return to normal.*

For chronic hepatitis, the patient may proceed to surgery so long as the condition is stable.

50
Q

What are carcinoid tumors?

A

Carcinoid tumors consist of slow-growing malignancies composed of enterochromaffin cells and are most found in the GI tract.

51
Q

Where do carcinoid tumors occur?

A

Most common places to find carcinoid tumors (about 70%)
Appendix (45%)

Jejunoileum (28%)

Rectum (16%)

Duodenum (4%)

52
Q

When does carcinoid syndrome develop?

A

Carcinoid syndrome develops when carcinoid tumors arise outside the drainage field of the hepatic portal venous system or when metastatic disease has replaced so much of the liver as to compromise hepatic synthetic function and systemic symptoms ofserotonin excess occur.

53
Q

Diagnosis of carcinoid tumor includes

A

Elevated levels (> 30 mg/24 hrs) of 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid (5-HIAA) in urine. Normal levels are from 3-15 mg/24hrs

54
Q

Carcinoid Syndrome is the complex of signs and symptoms caused by the secretion of vasoactive substances such as

A

Serotonin, kallikrein, and histamine into the systemic circulation from carcinoid tumors.

55
Q

S/S of carcinoid syndrome

A
56
Q

A carcinoid crisis manifests as

A

A potentially life-threatening complication. Manifests as intense flushing, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cardiovascular signs, including tachycardia, hypertension, or hypotension.

57
Q

A Carcinoid crisis may occur.

A

spontaneously or may be provoked by physical manipulation of the tumor, stress, chemical stimulation or tumor necrosis resulting from chemotherapy hepatic artery ligation or embolization

58
Q

Clinical manifestation of carcinoid crisis

A

Severe flushing, dramatic changes in BP,arrhythmias, bronchoconstriction, and mental status changes

59
Q

Treatment for carcinoid crisis

A

Octreotide 150- 200 mcg every 6-8 hours for 24- 48 hours prior to surgery and continued through the procedure

60
Q

Carcinoid syndrome treatment

A

The most effective treatment for carcinoid tumors is complete surgical excision of the tumor, often with partial bowel resection and mesenteric lymphadenectomy.

Somatostatin analogs (Octreotide and Lanreotide )- Suppress luteinizing hormone (LH)responses to gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), decrease splanchnic blood flow, and inhibit the release of serotonin, gastrin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, secretin, motilin, and pancreatic polypeptide.*

Serotonin receptor antagonists: Relieve the diarrhea in most patients.* H1 and H2 receptor blockers: Reduce histamine release and prevent the pruritic flush

61
Q

Hepatic carcinoid tumors receive their blood supply from

A

the hepatic artery
