Q

Adrenal Corticocarcinoma:

  1. 11-hydroxylase
  2. 17-hydroxylase
  3. Can resemble adrenal hyperplasia
A
  1. Can resemble adrenal hyperplasia I guess?

**LJS - I’m not sure what this question is asking. But I don’t think CAH (normal adrenals, or bilateral increased thickness with normal shape) resembles adrenal cortical carcinoma (often large at dx, heterogenous, necrosis, haemorrhage, vascular invasion).

60% adrenal cortical carcinomas are functional. 11 beta-hydroxylase and 17 alpha hydroxylase are both enzymes in the adrenocortical hormone synthesis pathway

Q

Causes of fulminant hepatitis:

A. Autoimmune
B. Hepatitis B
C. Carbon tetrachloride

A

**LJS - Robbins says paracetamol OD most common in USA, and other causes include:
-AI hepatitis
-Other drugs/toxins
-Acute hep A and B - vriral hepatitis accounts for 10% cases of acute hepatic failure
(Hep B and E most common cause in Asia)

So all are true, and according to Robbins Hep B NOT most common (though radiopedia says it’s most common)

Previous answer:

Hepatitis B - most common
others are true
Also idiopathic, drugs, mushrooms, metabolic disease, HELLP, Bud-chiari, shock, RHF
Acute hepatitis = fulminant hepatitis- acute loss of hepatic function without chronic liver failure
Symptoms- encephalopathy- coagulopathy
Cause- vascular : BC, RHF- infection : hep B (most common)- idiopathic- Toxin: alcohol, paracetamol, muschroom- autoimmune: - metabolic : wilson, pregnancy steatohepatitis,
