Q

liver function

A

Bile: Secreted by liver, temporarily stored by gallbladder
coomon bile duct
Glucose: Glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and storage of glycogen; and gluconeogenesis.
protein: protein synthesis and degradation, AA synthesis
Clotting-factor synthesis:coagulation factorsI (fibrinogen), II(prothrombin),V,VII,VIII,IX,X,XI,XIII, as well asprotein C,protein Sandantithrombin.
Lipid: cholesterol, triglycerol, lipoprotein

Q

Palmar erythema

A

estrogen increase

17
Q

Ascites develop dilutional hyponatremia

A

Diuretic should stop

Restrict fluid

18
Q

paracentesis

A

diagnostic

in combination with IV infusion of salt-poor albumin or other colloid

19
Q

spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

A

result of decreased immune function
bacteria from the fut reach the ascitic fluid via lymphatics causing inflammation
fever, chills abdominal pain and tenderness
fluid from paracentesis will show incresed WBC in fluid and the culture willl show bacterial growth
treated with IV antibiotics

20
Q

lactulose

A

oral, NGT, rectally enema,

21
Q

lactulose

A

ph, flora intestinal, intestinal movement,

22
Q

lactulose

A

monitor dehydration, hypokalemia, watery stool

23
Q

monitor hepatic encepholopathy

A
neurologic, 
mental by handwriting,
 I/0, VS Q4H,
monitor Infection,
monitor serum ammonia,
 protein restriction, 
decrease  GI absorption by suction enema,
 monitor eletrolytes, 
stop sedatives, tranquilizers, and analgesic medications; benzo antagonist flumazenil.
