how to assess ongoing upper GI bleeding

newborn with rectal bleeding, feeding intolerance, or abdom distension

A

consider NEC

59
Q

hemolytic uremic syndrome

A

infection triggers hemolytic anemia, kidney failure, thrombocytopenia; most common in kids

60

henoch-schonlein purpura

A

preceded by infection; palpable purpura on skin and kidney involvement; triad is purpura, athritis and abdominal pain

61
Q

most common cause of signif lower Gi bleed beyond infancy

A

juvenile polyps; bleeding is painless, intermittent, and often streaky

62
Q

allergic collitis

A

from sensitization to protein antigens in milk

63
Q

infectious enterocolitis caused by what

A

salmonella, shigella, campylobacter, yersinia, and e coli

64
Q

meckels diverticulum

A

outpouching of the bowel in the terminal ileum; important cause of lwer GI bleeding in infants and kids; the diverticulum contains ectopic gastric mucosa that produces acid

65
Q

painless acute rectal bleeding

A

classic for meckels diverticulum

66
Q

treatment for meckels diverticulum

A

use nuclear scan to identify the ectopic gastic mucosa and then resect it surgically

67
Q

hemolytic uremic syndrome

A

vasculitis characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, trombocytopenia, and acute renal failure; intestinal ulceration and infarction of the bowel causes bleeding

68
Q

henoch-schonlein purpura

A

igA mediated vasculitis with palpable purpura on the butt and loweer extremities, large joint arthralgias, renal involvement, and GI bleeding from complications like intussusception and bowel perforation

69
Q

how does H-S purpura cause GI bleeding

A

intussusception can be a complication, as can GI perforation

70
Q

how can a gall bladder issue cause increased liver enzymes?

A

damage to the biliary system causes retention of bile enzymes that damage the bilary tree and hepatocytes

71
Q

AST vs ALT

A

AST is sens but nonspecific, since also found in muscle, RBCs, and heart; ALT is very specific

72
Q

LDH

A

elevation is nonspec for liver disease

73
Q

alk phos

A

can be elevated in biliary disease and for lots of different reasons like rapid growth in a kid

74
Q

GGTP and 5NT

A

elevated in biliarydisease. 5NT is more specific than GGTP for biliary tract disease

75
Q

how is bilirubin conjugated in the liver

A

unconjugated bili is combined with glucuronide by the enzyme UDP-glucuronyl transferase in the liver to form mono and di conjugates

76
Q

how is synthetic function of the liver assessed

A

evaluating protein production (prealbumin, albumin, and prothrombin time), serum chemistries (glucose, cholesterol), and toxic clearance (lactate, ammonia)

77
Q

cholestatic jaundice

A

retention of bile within the liver; occurs when the direct component of bilirubin is greater than 2 mg/dl or 15% of total bili

78
Q

cholestasis gives you direct or indirect hyperbilirubinemea?

A

direct

79
Q

conjugated (direct) hyperbilirubnemia most commonly caused by what?

A

neonatal hepatitis or biliary atresia

80
Q

how does jaundice appear

A

cranially, then extends caudally

81
Q

inspissated bile syndrome

A

cause of indirect hyperbilirubinema; associated with hemolysis or large hematoma; conjugated hyperbilirubinemia happens later as liver meets demand

82
Q

UDP-glucuronyl trasnsferase def

A

def of enzyme that conjugates the bilirubin; seen in Gilberts syndorme, crigler-najjar syndrome type 1 and type 2

83

gilberts syndrome

A

50% of enzyme activity of UDP-glucuronyl transferase is absent; mild unconjugated bilirubinemia

aut recessive; 100% of enzyme activity of UDP-glucuronyl transferase activity is absent; kernicterus occurs

85
Q

crigler-najjar type 2

A

aut dom; 90% of enzyme activity of UDP-glucuronyl transferase act is absent; lower likelihood of kernicterus

86
