liver Flashcards
portal triad and waht contaisn it
hepatic artery
portal vein
duct
hepatoduodenal ligaent
cells of liver
hepatocytes
cholangiocytes:intercellualr channels–>bile canaliculi
nonparenchy
–kupffer (macrophages)
–sinusoidal endothelial cells- no RBC; leaky barrier
–pit cells
–hepatic stellate cells -collagen synth
splenic vein branches
short gastric
pancreatic
L gastroepiploic
IMV
SMV
inferior pancreatoduodenal
R gastroepiploic
portal vein
superior pancreatic duo
L gastric
biliary system
canals of hering–>bile ductules–>terminal ducts–>segmental bile ducts–>R and L lobal ducts–>common hepatic ducts + cystic duct–>common bile duct–>sphincter of oddi
acinus
blood supply of a small portion of parenchyma that drains a particular bile duct
lobule
blood supply by several separated portal vein branches, each of which also supplies adjacent lobules
bile compromises
conjugated bilirubin
cholesterol, phospholipids
bile salts
water, electrolytes
what converts 1% conj bilirubin to urobilinogen
intestinal bacteria
places glucose 6 p can go
synthesis of glycogen
anaerobic glyclysis
pentose-phosphate shunt
what proteins are not made by liver
Igs
what else makes alk P
bone
gGT
biliary epithelium
liver disease changes bioavailablity of circulating vasoactive substances and endothelial dysfunction
eNOS increase in splanchnic and decrease in liver AND increase production of VC–>splanchnic dilation and liver resistance
PHTN syndrome
central VS of cns and kidney–>brain dysfunction and hepatorenal syndrome
vasodilation of splanchnic–>arterial hypotension–>decrease in PVR, hypervolemia–> well perfused skin, low BP
vasodilation of intrapulm circ–>dec O2–>hepatopulm
hyperdynamic circulation means that
system very suceptible to very minor changes
septicemia–>endotoxin medicated vasoC
Nsaids–>block kidney fx
diurectics–>increase VS
these drugs may improve cirrhosis
bblockers to decrease shear stress on hepatic/splanic vessels–>decrease endothelial damage–>decrease enos
a agonist–>VD
anti inflam agents

SAAG

cytology
CBC and HGB
SAAG >1.1
almost alaways decompensated cirrhosis

consider transplant if prognosis is poor
decrease dietary Na intake, fluid restriction, and diuretics
in diuretic ressistance patients
paracentesis
shunts:TIPS
extracorporeal ultrafilitartin of ascitic fluid
liver transplant
sequela of ascites
hepatic hydrothorax- fluid enters chest via diaphragmatic defects
umbilicl, inguinal hernias
spontaenous bacterial peritonitis: translocation of bacteria from mesenteric LN–>bacteremia–>bacterascites
hepatorenal fx (poor px)
main cause of jaundice
viral hepatitis
hep A
+ stranded RNA picornavirus w/o envelope
feval oral
dx hep a
HAV IgM
HBV
small DNA virus of hepadnavirus
–partially dsDNA + viral envelope + core, DNA polymerase and x particle
sexual transfer
mom–>child
clinical presentation of hepB
acute infection
CLD
extrahep-rash, gnitis, arthritis, vasculitis, angioneurogenic edema
testing hbv
+HbsAg= acute infection if anti-HBc (IgM is )+
+HBsAg w/ sx and - Igm- early acute
+HBsAg w/o sx- mild CLD
+anti-HVs(afe)–recovery/immunity
+HV DNA- best indicator for active viral replicatin
tx HBV
entecavir, tenofovir
HDV
defective RNa virus–requires HBV first
HEV
single stranded + RNA hepevirus
pigs are reservoir
HEV transmission
fecal oral
rare instates, but leading cause of jaundice in endemic areas–usually affects both sexes
clinical presenation of HEV
incubation 2-9 weeks
may cause acute liver failure
chronic form possible
mortality in HEV
increase sa ton in pregnancy esp third trimester
testing HEV
RNA for active rep + IGM= acute, +IGG= past hep
hep v
single + sRNa virus, eveloped, flavivirus
1-6 types
how do HCV invaide
interact with surface proteins hepatocyte
enter cell by endocytosis
uncoat in the low endosomal ph
viral envelope fuses with endosome mebrane releasing RNa into cyto
rna interacts with ribo
single polyprotein produced
cleaved by proteases to mature viral protein
replicate
assembly
budding
risk of HCV
40-80%
higher than HBV
HCV can prodyuce
cryoglobinemia–accum of Igg related products in dependent ares- becoem insoluble in cold temp
screening tests
ELISA + RNA detection
anti HCV + HCV RNA +
active infection
anti HCV + , HCV RNA=
past infection
ANTI HCV -, HCV RNA+
acute HCV immunp sup
false positive RNA
HHC affects many organs
pituitary thyroid parathyroid heart liver panc gonads joints blood skin
pathiphys A1AT def
lung: A1AT blocks lung elastase in alveoli
- -if they lack this–>lung disease and COPD
liver: cuumulation of wrongly folded A1AT in cell ER–>cell damage–>apoptosis–>fibrosis and cirrhosis
