If the ____ can not recycle bile salts what happens?
- malabsorption of ____
- malabsorbed fats combine with ______ leading to “_____”
- colonic absorption of oxaloacetates increases leading to _____
- increased _____and electrolyte secretion
- increased _____ motility
- the ____ can not produce new bile salts to adequately emulsify lipids
Illeum
- malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins
- malabsorbed fats combine with Ca, Zn, Mg, leading to “soaps”
- colonic absorption of oxalate increases leading to renal oxalate stones
- increased fluid
- increased colonic
- the liver can not produce new bile salts to adequately emulsify lipids
lipids are not emulsified
renal oxalate stones = kidney stones
Nutrition care for SBS
what are the 4 things involved in ileal care
- limit fat
- use MCT (does not require bile salts, needs less intestinal surface area)
- supplement fat-soluble vitamins (ADEK) and **Ca, Mg, Zn **
- Parenteral B12 (followed by monthly injections if more than 100 cm of terminal ileum is removed)
MCT= coconut oil
stores and releases blood, filters toxic elements, metabolizes and stores nutrients, regulates fluid and electrolyte balance are functions of the
liver
When the liver is diseased all metabollic funcitons are distrupted
Liver enzyme profile
* ALP alkaline phosphatase:
* LDH ____
* AST, SGOT aspartate amino transferase hepatitis:
* ALT, SGPT alanine aminotransferase liver disease:
major enzymes found in organs and tissues;
enzyme levels in blood are elevated when tissue damage causes them to leak into the circulation
- 30-120 U/L
- lactic acid dehydrogenase
- 0-35 U/L
- 4-36 U/L
In liver disease, enzymes levels are elevated
elevated liver enzymes = tissue damage
liver fucntion test
ALP alkaline phosphatase
30-120 U/L
* elevated
* decreased
- liver disease, bone disease
- scurvy, malnutrition
liver fucntion test
LDH lactic acid dehydrogenase
* elevated (3)
- hepatitis
- myocardial infarction
- muscle malignancies
liver funtion test
AST, SGOT aspartate amino transferase : 0-35 U/L
* elevated
hepatitis

* elevated
liver dz
When a diet order is high protein and low CHO
increase fluids
Acute viral hepatitis- inflammation and necrosis of the liver
prescription/diet therapy of acute viral hepatits involves:

care varies according to sympt. and nut. status, anorexia major sympt
With liver dz adjust Na, Pro, fluid
- dehydration
- 50-55% CHO to replenish liver glycogen and spare protein (high cal)
- moderate to liberal fat intake if tolerated
- small, frequent feedings (4-6) because of the anorexia
- encourage coffee (antioxidant)
- multivitamin with** B complex, Vit C, K, zinc**
- if fluid retention restrict to 2 gmNa
if steatorrhea present limit fat to <30% cals
a pt with liver dz will likely be deficient in these B complex, C, K, zinc
1.0-1.2 g pro/kg
Purpose of high protein intake for acute hepatitis is two things:
* cell regeneration
* provide lipotropic agents to
convert fat into lipoproteins so they can be removed from liver
a high protien intake will help with cell regeneration and prevent fatty liver
Cirrhosis
When a pateint has ascites
* Connective tissue overgrowth blocks blood flow out of the ___
* * They may have low serum albumin due to ___
occurs when blood cannot leave the liver
liver into vena cava
* dilution factor
ascities can cause faulse albumin values
Causatiion from connective tissue overgrowth *main problem
What is this explaining:
* The liver expands until it exceeds storage capacity
* pressure caused by increased blood volume forces fluid to sweat through the liver into the peritoneal cavity
* fluid is turned into almost pure plasma with a high osmolar load, pulling more fluid in to dilute the load
* leading to sodium and water retention.
the liver can store a liter of extra blood
The liver when ascities is present
ascites - sodium and water retention
peritoneal cavity = interstial space
Cirrhosis
what is this describing?
- Connective tissue overgrowth causes resistance to blood entering from portal vein.
- The increased pressure forces blood back into collateral veins that offer less resistance.
- Esophageal, abdominal, collateral veins enlarge
occurs when blood can’t enter the liver: portal hypertension
very fragile, can be torn easily
esophageal varices
The enlargement of veins will cause out pouching of vessel wall = varicies
diet for cirrhosis
