duodenal atresia

adults: tumor
Currant jelly stools

due to infarction of affected area

Congenital lactose intolerance
inheritance pattern
recessive
Diarrhea in lactose intolerance
osmotic
Celiac
immune reaction against
gliadin
HLA subtypes associated with celiac
DQ2 and 8
Celiac
what is actually damaged
duodenal villi
flattening of duodenal villi
Dermatitis herpetiformis
IgA deposition on tips of dermal papillae
vesicle formation
celiac association
Lab tests in celiac
IgA against gliadin, tTG, or endomysium
of IgG if pt is IgA deficient
Duodenal Bx in celiac
flattening of villi in duodenum
intraepithelial lymphocytes
Complications of celiac
even if well controlled
small bowel carcinoma
T-cell lymphoma
Tropical sprue
