liver Flashcards
liver recycling
People (produce)
Drink (detox)
So (storage)
Much (metabolize)
Produce
albumin
bile
coagulation factor
detox
everything is detoxed by liver (1st pass)
storage
stores glycogen
metabolize
converting/breaking things down for bodily use
albumin
binds with calcium
attracts/transports drugs
attracts fluid to vascular space
bile
transports bilirubin and cholesterol out of system (goes unchecked causes jaundice)
coagulation factor
decreased bleeding time
PT, PTT, INR
cells responsible for detox
kupfter cells
wall of bricks
wall= glycogen
bricks= glucose
protein bar
wrapper gets thrown away and recycled
wrapper= ammonia
thrown away= metabolized
recycled= urea
damaged liver labs
al ↓
bili ↑
TC ↑(200)
LDL ↑(100)
HDL ↓ (40)
PT(12-15 sec) ↑ clotting time
PTT (<15sec) ↑ clotting time
INR (25-30sec) ↑ clotting time
ammonia ↑
total protein ↓
AST (in tissue and muscle) ↑
ALT (more liver function) ↑
ALP (muscle) ↑
liver
general symptoms
fatigue (no glycogen= no energy)
fever (inflamed liver)
jaundice (↑bili = yellowing)
itching (no protection = no bile)
liver
neuro symptoms
sleep disturbance
mood changes
confusion
coma
(build up of ammonia in system)
liver
cardiopulmonary symptoms
dyspnea (↑ fluid retention= difficulty breathing)
liver
GI symptoms
N/V
hematemesis (throwing up blood)
melena (black tarry stool)
hematochezia (stool with blood)
abd. pain
abd. girth ↑ (ascites)
actives (fluid retention, fluid leaking into third space)
liver
hematologic symptoms
↑ bruising
bleeding
dependent edema (liver makes clotting factor)
(↓ liver= ↓clotting factor)
liver
endocrine symptoms
↓libido (↓ detox ↑androgen/estrogen= affected libido)
hepatitis types
viral
non-viral
drug induced
hepatitis manifestations
jaundice
N/V
pain/tender/ enlarged liver
dark urine
anorexia
flu symptoms
Viral hepatitis
