28
Q

Duodenum absorption:

A

iron, Ca, Mg, ADEK

29
Q

Jejunum absorption:

A

water soluble vitamins B and C, carbs, fats, and proteins

30
Q

Ileum absorption:

A

vit B and C, carbs, fats, proteins, B12 and bile acids

31
Q

Colon absorption:

A

short chain fatty acids from fermentation, water

32
Q

Dumping syndrome

A

80%; maintain normal Na and K for growth, monitor for acidosis, refeed osmotic output through mucous fistula

33
Q

Post op gastric acid hypersecretion

A

50%; can disrupt surgical site, peptic ulceration, inactivate pancreatic enzymes. May need a few days of pepcid in TPN

34
Q

Short bowel syndrome mortality primarily due to :

A

Parenteral nutrition sequelae. Length of time = central line sepsis, steatosis (fatty liver), cholestasis (direct bili>2)

35
Q

Cholestasis may be prevented with:

A

20-30% enteral nutrition, actigall, omegaven, cycling TPN

36
Q

Surgical procedures to improve short bowel outcome:

A

stricture resection, bowel tapering, bowel lengthening

37
Q

Procedures for lengthening bowel

A

bianchi and STEP procedure

38
Q

Preventative measures for NEC

A

breastmilk, standardized feeding protocols, holding feeds during blood transfusions, pre/probiotics

39
Q

Which immunoglobulin correlates with a decrease in bacterial translocation?

A

IgA (closes enterocyte gaps)

40
Q

What are inborn errors of metabolism?

A

disorders caused by deficiency of one or more enzymes involved in a biochemical pathway

41
Q

What are the consequences of an enzyme deficiency?

A

won’t be able to break down that particular thing

42
Q

Acute inborn errors of metabolism:

A

metabolic disease of the newborn

43
Q

Progressive

A

organomegaly, developmental delay (develops slowly over several years)

44
Q

Chronic

A

Failure to thrive, mental retardation

45
Q

Late

A

first indication in adults

46
Q

What is an important red flag in diagnosing metabolic disease?

A

Developmental delay

47
Q

Labs for Fatty acid oxidation defect:

A

HYPOGLYCEMIA WITH ABSENT KETONES

48
Q

gluconeogenesis (fatty acid oxidation pathway)

A

takes fats and converts them to glucose

49
Q

why does fatty acid oxidation not get noticed till 3-5 months?

A

doesn’t get to catabolic phase until feeds have lengthened when baby is sleeping through the night. presents with hypoglycemia

50
Q

Labs for Urea cycle defects:

A
High ammonia (300-2000 range). No acidosis or hypoglycemia
normal ammonia (40-70)
51
Q

Test for urea cycle defects

A

plasma amino acids

52
Q

Labs for Organic acidemias

A

ACIDOSIS, HIGH ANION GAP, KETONES, HYPOGLYCEMIA, INCREASED AMMONIA

53
Q

A

1/60,000

must have lactose feeding prior to screening

54
Q
