small intestine Flashcards
complications of refractory celiac dz despite gluten free diet
t cell lymphoma
SI adenocarcinoma
biological causes of malabsorption in viral, bacterial and parasitic gastroenteritis
terminal digestion and transepithelial transport
describe the pathogenesis of adhesions
- MC type of intestinal obstruction in the US
- peritoneal inflammation (congenital or acquired from surgery/trauma)–> adhesions/fibrous bridges–> entrapped viscera (internal herniation) –> obstruction , strangulation
complications of external herniation (visceral protrusion of GI tract )
incarceration, strangulation, and infarction
-impaired venous return–>stasis/edema–> enlarged hernia, permanent entrapment (incarceration) –> arterial/venous compromise (strangulation) –> infarction
what pathology is associated with lipid accumulation seen with red-o oil stain
abetalipoprotienima
biological causes of malabsorption in acetalipoproteinemia
transepithelial transport
biological causes of malabsorption in chronic pancreatitis, and cystic fibrosis
intraluminal digestion
AR DO presents in infants with inability to secrete triglyceride rice lipoproteins (APOB 48 and APOB 100) due to MTP mutation
abetalipoprotienima
- APOB48 makes chylomicrons
- APOB100 makes LDL VLDL
most common presentation of malabsorption
chronic diarrhea
others: wt loss, distention, borborygmi (rumbling), muscle wasting, steatorrhea
congenital lactase deficiency vs acquired
congenital: (rare) AR DO with explosive osmotic watery diarrhea, frothy stools, ab distention all on consumption of milk
acquired: decrease regulation of lactase gene common in native americans, african americans, chinese/ sx: ab fullness, osmotic diarrhea, gas on consumption of dairy
* may be TEMPORARY kind following infections with similar symptoms
4 types of diarrhea
- secretory - isotonic stool; persistent with fast
- osmotic- osm gap; decrease with fast
- malabsorptive- steatorrhea; decrease with fast
- exudative - purulent, bloody, persistent with fast
telescoping of proximal segment of bowel forward to distal segment associated with leading edge
intusseception
-can lead to obstruction and infarction
common causes and clinical manifestation of intestinal obstruction
common causes: hernias, adhesions, intussusception, volvulus
-clin man: ab pain, distension, vommitting, constipation
grows as a submucosal polyp like nodule and secretes serotonin in urine
midgut carcinoid tumor (jejunum/ileum)
- healthy liver = 5HIAA in urine and no carcinoid syndrome, heart disease
- liver metastais = bypass liver and serotonin is systemic causing right heart disease (R valve collagen/fibrosis –> PS or TR) and carcinoid syndrome (flushing, diarrhea, bronchospasm)
IPEX -X linked DO; causing FoxP3 mutation of CD4 T-reg cells resulting in antibodies to enterocyte goblet cells, parietal cells, or islet cells
*sx: severe persistent diarrhea and AI dz in young children
autoimmune enteropathy
