Obstructive Lung Disease CIS I Flashcards
40yo M, dyspnea, cough, wheezing last 2-3 yrs, father cirrhosis, 20py tobacco, decreased breath sounds, hyperinflation, clubbing of digits, flattened diaphragms, FEV1 36% predicted, no improvement bronchodilator
obstructive
- emphysema
- imbalance of neutrophil elastase
sweat testing confirms diagnosis
cystic fibrosis
purified protein derivative skin testing
tuberculosis
sputum cytology
confirmation of cancer
acid fast sputum stain
tuberculosis
alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency
risk factor for COPD
protects lungs against neutrophil elastase
patient susceptible to smoking
-age 30s or 40s COPD
often fam Hx of cirrhosis
19yo M, acute resp distress, productive cough, sinusitis, meconium ileus at birth, wheezing, rhonchi, clubbing of fingers
hyperinflated lung fields
cystic fibrosis
cystic fibrosis
malabsorption of fat soluble vits
-ADEK
sterile males
non-caseating granulomas
sarcoidosis
cystic fibrosis genetic
autosomal recessive
half siblings will be gene carriers
1/4 have disease
cystic fibrosis prognosis
lung disease to death 90% patients
survival 37 years median
lung manifestations in CF
cough, SOB, poor exercise tolerance, fatigue, sleep decline, daily productive cough
infection in CF
pseudomonas aeruginosa and staph aureus (MRSA)
malabsorption of vitamins
bulky foul smelling stools and flatulence
in CF
sweat glands in CF
elevation of Na and Cl
pancreas in CF
1/3 - diabetes by age 30
MSK in CF
decreased bone density
decreased absorption of Vit D
Dx of CF
screening immunoreactive trypsinogen
-marker of pancreatic injury
if positive - to genetic mutation analysis
Dx confirmation - sweat testing
-pilocarpine iontophoresis
