🗑
Abnormal Labs in Liver Dysfunction include elevated ammonia and prolonged PT/INR. Why?   Liver produces clotting factors, liver unable to breakdown protein, intestines produce ammonia as a byproduct.  
🗑

🗑
What is the sphincter of Oddi?   Goes from pancreas and gall bladder to duodenum to deliver bile & pancreatic juice.

🗑
Complications of cirrhosis= esophageal varices, ascites, portal HTN and what else?   Hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome (kidney fails)  
🗑
The obstruction to blood flow from Portal HTN (result of cirrhosis) leads to what 3 things?   Hepatomegaly, Splenomegaly, Esophageal-gastric-rectal varices.  
🗑
How does Ascites lead to increased hydrostatic pressure and lymph formation?   Ascites (extra fluid in the ABD)- reduced intravascular pressure -> Renin-angiotensin response -> Increased Na/h20 retention -> Increased hydrostatic pressure... Worse Ascites.  
🗑
Fluid wave, shiftness of dullness & protruding umbilicus = S/S of what?   Ascites  
🗑
Diffuse fibrosis of liver   Cirrhosis  
🗑
Cirrhosis obstructs flow of what? (3)   Blood, lymph, bile  
🗑
3 Causes of cirrhosis   Toxins (ETOH), Infections, R sided HF

🗑
Late symptoms of hepatitis   Jaundice, hepatomegaly, ascites, cirrhosis  
🗑
What causes hepatic encphalopathy (altered conscious from liver problems)   Impaired ammonia metabolism after protein breakdown (ammonia result of protein breakdown)  
🗑
Rx Tx for hepatic encephalopathy   Lactulose (ammonia binder)  
🗑
3 types of intestinal obstruction (partial/complete blockage)   Mechanical (adhesions, hernia, tumors, intuss, volvulus), Neurogenic (paralytic, spinal cord lesion), Vascular (Artery occlusion in the gut)  
🗑
Do you give fiber/stool softeners to Pt w/ intestinal obstruction? Why?   No- Could collect above obstruction and cause perforation  
🗑
Kinking of a portion of the intestines   Volvulus  
🗑
Telescoping of one part of the intestine into an adjacent part   Intussusecption  
🗑
Fibrous bands that constrict tissue, loops of intestine adhere to areas that heal slowly or scar after ABD surgery   Adhesions  
🗑
A blockage interferes with the normal progression of intestinal contents through the intestinal tract   Intestinal Obstruction  
🗑
