Week 3 review Flashcards
Acetampinophen overdose
centrilobular coagulative necrosis WITHOUT significant inflammatory cell infiltrate
Hep E in pregnancy
Causes increased mortality!!!
Findings in Autoimmune Hep
Elevated IgG
Anti-smooth muscle Ab
Plasma cell rich interface and centrilobular hepatitis
Female predominance
Findings in alpha-1- antitrypsin deficiency
PAS-positive, diastase resistant globules in hepatocytes (misfolded)
Emphysema
Findings in PBC
Elevated IgM Anti-mitochondria Ab (AMA) Mostly middle-aged women Female predominance Granulomatous lymphocytic cholangitis/ florid duct lesion Can lead to osteopenia and osteoporosis
Usually itching is first sign
Findings in PSC
Ulcerative Colitis
Choleangiography with large bile duct strictures
Male predominance
Cholangiocarcinoma word associations
Tumor of bile ducts
Malignant
Gland-forming tumor with marked desmoplasia
Associated with PSC
Hepatocellular carcinoma associations
Tumor of hepatocytes Malignant Thickened hepatic plates/trabeculae with unpaired arteries Almost exclusively pts with cirrhosis Hep B Most common primary malignant tumor
Hepatocellular adenoma associations
Tumor of hepatocytes Benign Female predominance Birth control- reproductive age Normal hepatic plate thickness with unpaired arteries
Hemangioma associations
Tumor of blood vessels
Benign
Most common hepatic tumor
Focal Nodular Hyperplasia associations
Tumor of hepatocytes Benign Proliferation/hyperplasia/non-neoplastic Central scar and malformed blood vessels Vascular malformation/anomaly etiology
What’s the big risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma?
Barrett esophagus
Definition of esophageal varices
tortuous and dilated submucosal blood vesels
Features of steatohepatitis
Can be due to alcohol, metabolic syndrome, and drug related liver injury
If due to alcohol, AST is usually twice ALT
Steatosis
Ballooning degeneration
Include Mallory bodies
Plasma cells in liver think what?
Autoimmune hepatitis
Grade vs stage
Grade= Amount of inflammation and injury Stage= fibrosis
TIPS and mesocaval shunt
TIPS- portal vein to hepatic vein shunt
mesocaval shunt- works to shunt blood from the portal vein to the IVC to circumvent the liver
Decrease pressure in the portal vein system but increase the effects of toxic compounds on the system (would worsen encophalopathy, may shock heart with increased flow to right side of heart, also causes hepatic ischemia due to loss of blood flow)
Lab values of a cholestatic pattern
Normal ALT AST, elevated bili and Alk Phos
