LIVER Flashcards
CIRRHOSIS
SCAR TIISSUE OF THE LIVER
ETIOLOY OF CIRRHOSIS
alcohol, virus, nonalcoholic fatty liver, biliary duct obstruction, autoimmunine, toxins, metabolic
alcoholic cirrhosi
etoh is toxic to the liver cells
fatty liver
tissue chanes
inflammation
Alcoholic Cirrhosis
Compensated
Uncompensated:
Compensated
asymptomatic, intermittent mild fever, vascular spider, palmar erythema, unexplained epistaxis, alkel edema, vaue morning indiestion, flatulent dyspepsia, abdominal pain, firm enlarged liver, splenomegaly.
epistaxis
NOSE BLEEDING
Uncompensated
Ascites, Jaundice, Weakness, muscle wasting, weight loss, continuous mild fever, clubbing of fingers, purpura, spontaneous bruising, epistasis, hypotension, sparse body hair, white nails, gonadal atrophy,
liver function
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
bile
Secreted by liver, temporarily stored by gallbladder
coomon bile duct
sphinctor of oddi
Glucose
Glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and storage of glycogen; and gluconeogenesis.
protein
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.
Albumin synthesis
the most abundant protein inblood serum. It is essential in the maintenance ofoncotic pressure, and acts as a transport forfatty acidsandsteroid hormones.
angiotentionogen
produced in liver and transformed into angiotension 1 in liver by renin?
s/s Cirrhosis
Palmar erythema Spider nevi Gynecomastia Jaundice Caput medusa
Spider nevi
superior vena cava: The central red dot is the dilated arteriole and the red “spider legs” are small veins carrying away the freely flowing blood.
Palmar erythema
estrogen increase
Ascites develop dilutional hyponatremia
Diuretic should stop
Restrict fluid
paracentesis
diagnostic
in combination with IV infusion of salt-poor albumin or other colloid
spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
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
lactulose
oral, NGT, rectally enema,
lactulose
ph, flora intestinal, intestinal movement,
lactulose
monitor dehydration, hypokalemia, watery stool
monitor hepatic encepholopathy
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.
cholelithiasis -risk factors
obesity female: multipregnancy; native american or hispani big weigt loss or frequent weight changes estrogen treatment gastric bypass ileal disease or resection Diabetes Mellitus Total parental nutrition cystic fibrosis Family history
cholelithiasis –symptoms
Nausea and vomiting Indigestion Belching Flatulence Epigastric pain that radiates to the scapula 2-4 hour after eating fatty foods and may persist for 4 to 6 hours Pain localized in right upper quadrant Guarding rigidity and rebound tenderness Mass palpated in the RUQ Murphy’s sign Elevated temperature Tachycardia Signs of dehydration
CHOLECYSTITIS-RISK FACTORS
Gallstone 90%
After major surgery, severe trauma or burns; cystic duct obstruction, infection of gallbladder, mutiorgarn failure, renal failure
diagnostic/therapeutic tests associated with gallbladder disease.
A. Ultrasound
B. ERCP/MRCP
C. HIDA Scan (Nuclear)
D. Cholangiogram
Cholesystitis–ERCP/MRCP
endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
Iv sleepy and relax
Spay the mount numbness
Lie Left side or stomach side
Mouth piece, chin against chest, swallow when tube in, spray more to numb the throat,
Side-viewing tube into the ampulla of voter to inject contrast to view the pancreatic and hepatic tube, and common bile tube.
X-ray
Stretch narrow area, remove the stone,
Acute pancreatitis — assessment
Abdominal pain, sudden onset, midepigastric or Luq, radiating to the back
Pain is aggravated by fatty meal, alcohol, lying in a supine and flat position
Abdominal tenderness and guarding
Nausea and vomiting(emesis)
Weight loss
Absent or decreased bowel sounds
Elevated white blood cell count, glucose, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, or urinary amylase
Elevated serum lipase and amylase
Elevated glycaemia, glycosuria, elevated bilirubin, hypocalcemia
Hypotension: tachycardia, cyanosis, and cold clumsy skin
Respiratory distress
Peritonitis
Ecchymosis in the flank(Grey-Turner sign) or around the umbilicus(Cullen sign) indicating retroperitoneal the hemorrhage
