Answer: Ultrasound Q: Endoscope - down through duodenum, up common bile duct to inject die and see if flowing correctly Answer: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Complications - perforation and hemorrhage Q: Precipitation of cholesterol from bile occurs at high concentrations, predisposing to the formation of gallstones. - This is why if you have a high fat diet, you could be Answer: more prone to gallstones. Q: Bile is produced by Answer: hepatocytes in the liver Q: If bilirubin can't be excreted, what clinical manifestation will be observed? Answer: Jaundice Q: Acalculous cholecystitis Answer: Acute inflammation of gallbladder in the absence of gallstones = occurs in critically ill patients and patients on TPN Q: consisting of the portal veins, hepatic arteries, and bile ducts Answer: portal triads Q: Any obstruction to the flow of blood may result in a rise in portal venous pressure proximal to the level of blockage. (with liver damage, the portal vein will start to back up) Answer: Portal hypertension Q: Liver function Answer: -Temporary storage of blood -Removal of bilirubin from the bloodstream (HELLO JAUNDICE!!) -Hematopoiesis (formation of blood cells) in certain disease states (if kidney or bone marrow are not doing their jobs) -Synthesis of blood clotting factors (Liver makes our clotting factors - this is why liver disease patients are at risk for bleeding disorders) Q: Who gets ERCP Answer: People who might be getting biopsy Q: Persistent irritation to gallbladder wall from cholelithiasis Answer: Chronic cholecystitis Q: a type of phagocytic macrophage - gobbling up toxins) Answer: Kupffer cells Q: loss of hepatocellular function or disruption of blood flow Answer: General manifestations of liver disease Q: Manifestations of hepatocellular failure Answer: jaundice (can't break down the bilirubin), muscle wasting, ascites (increased pressure in portal vein), excessive bleeding (impaired synthesis of clotting factor), deficiencies of important blood proteins (albumin) and vitamins (vitamin k), glucose imbalance, and impaired hormone production Q: reduced albumin in vascular space increased fluid in interstitial space Answer: ascites Q: the green-yellow staining of tissues by bilirubin, is the consequence of impaired bilirubin metabolism and is one of the most characteristic signs of liver disease.
