Q

very old woman with cholecytitis (past age dmographic)

A

gallbladder carcinoma

22
Q

pitch black liver…discolored

A

dubinjohnson (problem with transport of conjugated bili)

23
Q

Gilbert and Crigler Najar

A
AR deficiency in UGT (uglucouronlytransferase)
gilbert is mild
crigler najar (EVIL NAME) is almost absent UGT...usually fatal
24
Q

biliary tract obstruction what will beelevated in blood

A

conjbili, plasma bile acids, alk phos, dark urine claycolored stool

25
Q

how are hepatocytes destroyed in hepatitis

A

cd8 t cell killing

26
Q

HEV in pregnantwoman?

A

may progress to fulminant hep (very bad)

27
Q

what’s worse superinfection of hpD on previous hepb or concurrentinfection of HBV HDV

A

superimpoed superinfection

28
Q

what cell mediates fibrosis in liver

A

TGF beta form stellate cells which lie beneath endothelial cells that line sinusoids

29

signs and symptoms of excess estrogen

A

gynecomastia
spider angioma
palmar erythema

30
Q

histologic hallmark of alcoholic hepatitis

A

Mallory bodies (intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusions of DAMAGED INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS, KERATIN FILAMENTS)

31
Q

non alcoholic fatty liver disease associated with…

A

obesity…ALT>AST

32
Q

how is hemochromotasis causing damge?

A

generation of free radicals from iron from fentin reaction

deposits in tissues as hemosiderosis

33
Q

primary hemochromatosis gene mechanism

A

HFE gene (c282y) recessive leads to abnormal iron sensing in enterocytes leading to increasd absorption (increased ferriton, increased iron, decreased TIBC, INCREASED TRANSFERRIN, high percent sat)

34
Q

how can secondary hemochromatosis happen

A

from transfusions multiple

35
Q

how to differentiate between iron an lipofuscin in liver

A

Prussian blue stain!

36
Q

autosomal recessive defeect in ATP7B gene (ATP mediated hepatocyte copper transport)

A

wilson dx

lack of copper transport into bile and ceruloplasmin leading to tissue deposition

37
Q

how does copper cause damage

A

free fradicals by production of hydroxyl free radicals

38
Q

rx wilsons

A

copper chelation with d penicillamine or zinc or trientine

39
Q

labs on wilsons

A

increased urinary iron
LOW CERULOPLASMIN
increaed copper in liver

40
Q

antibody for PBC

A

antimitochondrial

41
Q

obstructive jaundice, with late cirrhosis associated with other autoimmune disease, woman

A

PBC damage to intrahepatic ducts

42
Q

histology of PSC

A

concentric “onion skin” bile duct fibrosis with alternating stricture and dilation with “string and bead” apeparnts of both INTRA AND EXTRA hepatic ducts

43
Q

PSC associated with what disease and what marker

UC

p-anca

44
