3 main types of chronic gastritis | 1-autoimmune chronic gastritis (< 10% of chronic gastritis), 2-chronic antral & distal body gastritis (H. Pylori => chronic pangrastritis =>multifocal atrophy, 3- chronic FUNDUS gastritis (organ speific autoimmune against gastric parietal cells) |
what are the results of chronic fundus gastritis? | since parietal cells are destroyed there is NO gastric acid or intrinsic factor (resuting in pernicious anemia due to vit B12 deficiency) and (achlorhydria- decreased gastric acid occurs) |

another name for cystic fibrosis and the basic defect is.... | mucoviscidosis.... ABN function of an epithelial cell membrane chloride channel (mutations in the CFTR gene cause CF) |
Why is cystic fibrosis a malabsorption syndrome? | causes destruction of exocrine secretory pancreas w/ decreased secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes in duodenum |
diverticulosis of sigmoid colon is interlinked with ... | constipation |
what are the varying symptoms of ischemic (lack of blood flow) bowel disease? | ABD px, diarrhea(may be bloody), hemorrhagic bowel infaction, |
an idiopathic cause of ischemic bowel disease is when the bowel rolls on itself called... | volvulus... requires surgery |
another type of of ischemic bowel disease in infants. | intussusception of bowel in which intestine gets pushed on itself |
2 noninfectiousinflammatory bowel diseases | 1-crohn's (anywhere, more common in distal small bowel and/colon *transmural-involves full thickness of bowel wall *may show small granulomas) 2-ulcerative colitis (only colon- begins distally in rectal area) |
crohns vs ulcerative colitis | crohns:skip lesions, granulomas, transmural affects more gut, UC: pseudopolyps, high chances colon cancer, affects more distal |
2 factors for pathogenesis of IBD..... genetic susceptibility of IBD | 1-strong immune response against nl bowel flora, 2-defects in nl intestinal epithelial barrier function which may allow nl bowel flora to have access to mucosal lymphoid tissue and initiatae immune response 15% ibd have affectred first degree relatives |
What may form btw bowel loops b/c of transmural inflammation | fistulae |
in chronic ulcerative colitis the inflammation is confined to .... | mucosa and submucosa... colectomy may be required for complications like severe diarrhea and bleeding |
both crohns and CUC are associated w/ increased risk of developing | colonic or small bowel adenocarcinoma in diseased areas... and associated enteropathic arthritis => theres an increase of HLA B27 histocompatibility antigen |
Non neoplastic colon polyps:1-what accounts for 90% epithelial colon polyps >50, no malignant potential? 2-usually under age 5, 3- seen in pts w/ severe crohns or cuc | 1-hyperplastic polyps, 2- juvenile polyps, 3-inflammatory polyps |
benign adenomatous colonic polyps: 1 what are useally on narrow stalk >90% of total? 2- has a wider base, 1% of total, 3-a mixture of 2 types of polyps, 5-10% of total | 1-tubular adenomatous polyp, 2-villous adenomatous polyp, 3- tubulovillous adenomatous....... most colonic adenocarcnomas arise from these |
premalignant conditions of GI tract | 1 barrets esophagus-from GERD, 2- chronic atrophic gastritis- from chronic fundus-body or antral gastritis, 3inflammatory bowel disease-chohns, cuc, 4-adenomatous colonic polyps |
2 complications of severe liver disease | 1-hepatorenal syndrome (renal fx 2 to liver disease w/no intrinsic kidney disease 2- (hepatic encephalopathy-(elevated blood ammonia, impairs brain function and cause cerebral edema) |
where is most of the bilirubin formed?... the path to formation | spleen... then carried on albumin to liver(at this point it's not water soluble and must be attached to albumin in blood plasma)... taken to hepatocyte... after processing it's water soluble and excreted into the bile CONGUGATED BILIRUBIN |
Hereditary hyperbilirubinemia is broken into 2 categories, and each is further broken down into what 2 types? | 1 unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia I. Gilberts syndrome, II. crigler-Najjar syndrome, 2. conjugated hyperbilirubinemia: Dubin-johnson syndrome, rotar syndrome |
conjugated vs unconjugated bilirubin | conjugated: processed by liver for excretion in the bile, unconjugated: NOT processed by liver (sx-jaundice) |
