- Genetic factors
- Intestinal microbiome
2 major differences between ulcerative colitis and chrons
- Ulcerative colitis involves rectum
2. Ulcerative colitis has vidible bleeding while chron does not
Extra intestinal symptoms of U.Colitis (3)
- Anemia
- Arthritis
- Ocular lesions
Acute complications of ulcerative colitis
- Severe bleeding
- Fulminant colitis
- Toxic megacolon and perforation
Genetic factors for Chron’s
Modifications in JAK2 and STAT3 pathways
Diagnosis of Chron’s disease
- Endoscopy (cobblestone mucosa)
- Imaging (fistulas)
- Stool calprotectin and lactoferrin
Therapy of Chron’s disease
- Corticosteroids
- Vedolizumab (ab vs integrin)
- Anti TNF drugs
What is portal hypertension
The difference between portal vein and hepatic vein exceeds 10-12mmHg
What is icterus?
Bilirubin level is above 2-2,5 mg/dL
Laboratory diagnosis of liver failure
- Hepatocyte integrity : transaminases
- Bile secretion : bilirubin serum conc. + urine conc.
- Synthetic function : serum proteins + coagulation factors
Factors which activate stellate cells
- CCL 2,7,8 : recruitement
- TGFb : activation
Role of stellate cells
Production of ECM and growth factors after liver injury
Diagnosis of viral hepatitis
HAV : serum ig
HBV : serum antigens
HCV : PCR
Metabolic pathologies causing liver failure
- NAFLD
- Haemochromatosis
- Alpha 1 anti trypsin deficiency
- Wilson’s disease
Mutation in Wilson’s disease
ATP7B protein mutation
Role of alpha 1 antitrypsin
Serin protease inhibitor
Enzymes of ethanol metabolism
- ADH (cytosol)
- CYP2E1 (ER)
- Catalase (peroxisome)
- Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase
Variations in ethanol metabolism
- ADH polymorphism
- ALDH -> ALDH2
3 Disufiran
Forms of acute alcohol intoxication
- 100-300mg/dL : mild
- 300-400 : moderate
- 400-500 : severe
- 500 and over : death
