61
Q

A

Damaged parietal cells = no HCL no IF no B12 absorption

62
Q

R-Protein

A

Transports B12 to the duodenum
Where the pancreatic protease releases B12
= IF from stomach also in duodenum transports B12 to ileum and absorbs it at the IF receptor (B12+ TC11 absorbed together)

63
Q

Pernicious Anemia

A

Parietal cells don’t produce enough IF
Difficult to understand since SX seen much later due to huge B12 storage in Liver
CAUSES:
Atrophic gastritis - chronic inflammation of stomach mucosa-> kills parietal cells
Autoimmune meta plastic atrophic gastritis -> immune cells attack IF protein or the parietal cells

64
Q

Disruption in the VIT B12 can be caused by what surgeries

A
  1. Gastrectomy : loss of parietal cells (source of IF)

2. Gastric Bypass : Exclusion of stomach, duodenum, and proximal jejunum which alters B12 absorption

65
Q

Growth of Gastric Mucosa what is this

A

Gastric Epithelial cells secrete HCO3- (epithelial cells) and mucus (mucus cells) for a barrier
Protect against pepsin and HCL

66
Q

A

Protect: HCO-3, Mucus, prostaglandins, mucosal BF, Gastrin, GFs

Q

CASE 1: LLQ pain, N, V, D weight loss from 3 weeks, T2D, HTN, Brest cancer, erosive esophagitis, chronic peptic ulcer disease, takes B-blocker drugs,
CT : mass over pancreas head
LABS : high Gastrin, low hematocrit, high acid

A

DX:
Tumor in pancreas causes oversecretion of Gastrin which goes to stomach to increase secretion of HCL = Gastrinoma

Gastrinoma are associated with

A

Zollinger - Ellison Syndrome

69

How do you confirm this Dx:

A

Administer Secretin (secretin stimulating test)

70
Q

Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

A

Gastrinoma - large Gastrin secretion by duodenal or pancreatic tumor
HIGH : acid, parietal cells can grow
LOW : NA+ and H2O absorption, by SI (diarrhea)
SX: ulcer, low SI pH= inactivates pancreatic enzymes, fat absorption by bile ——-> Steatorrhea (maldigestion, malabsorption)

71
Q

Secretin stimulating test

A

Normal : you inject secretin and Gastrin levels are normal (working - feedback loop)
Gastrinoma : you inject secretin and Gastrin levels increase even more

72
Q

73
Q

H-Pylori how they survive and how they break down gastric mucosa

A

They release cytotoxins that break down the mucosa and underlying cells ,
adhesion factors that helps it bind
It releases Urease an enzyme that allows bacteria to convert urea to ammonium for alkaline effects so it doesn’t die and it can keep digesting

74
Q

Gastric Ulcer cause

A

In stomach , due to defected mucosal barrier

Increased Gastrin

75
Q
