Why is erythropoietin production usually insufficient in kidney failure? - Answer✔It is
insufficient to stimulate adequate red blood cell production by the bone marrow.
What are some causes of iron deficiency in people with CKD? - Answer✔Anorexia, dietary
restrictions, and blood loss during dialysis.
What is the major metabolic function of colonic microorganisms? - Answer✔The fermentation
of undigestible dietary residue and endogenous mucus.
What is a major source of energy in the colon? - Answer✔Fermentation of nondigestible
carbohydrates, including resistant starches, cellulose, pectins, and unabsorbed sugars.
What role do colonic microorganisms play in vitamin synthesis? - Answer✔They synthesize
vitamin K.
Why do newborn infants not synthesize adequate amounts of vitamin K initially? -
Answer✔Because the normal colonic bacterial flora has not yet become established.
What protective role does the resident gut flora provide? - Answer✔It provides a crucial line of
resistance to colonization by exogenous microbes.
What can disrupt the microbial balance in the gut? - Answer✔The administration of broad-
spectrum antibiotics.
What is the role of probiotics? - Answer✔They are live microorganisms that can modify the
composition of enteric flora when ingested.
What are some commonly used probiotics? - Answer✔Lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and
nonpathogenic Escherichia coli.
In which disease have probiotics shown value in maintaining remission? - Answer✔Ulcerative
colitis.
What can people with aspirin-related gastritis be unaware of? - Answer✔They can be totally
unaware of the condition or may complain only of heartburn or sour stomach.
What symptoms are associated with gastritis from excessive alcohol consumption? - Answer✔It
often causes transient gastric distress, which may lead to vomiting and, in more severe
situations, to bleeding and hematemesis.
What is the onset time for gastritis caused by staphylococcal enterotoxins? - Answer✔It usually
has an abrupt and violent onset, with gastric distress and vomiting occurring approximately 5
hours after ingestion of contaminated food.

Is acute gastritis a self-limiting disorder? - Answer✔Yes, acute gastritis is usually a self-limiting
disorder, with complete regeneration and healing occurring within several days of removal of
the inciting agent.
What is the primary treatment for celiac disease? - Answer✔Removal of gluten and related
proteins from the diet.
What grains contain gluten? - Answer✔Wheat, barley, and rye.
Can oat products be safe for people with celiac disease? - Answer✔Oat products are nontoxic
but may be contaminated with wheat during processing.
What types of products are available for those on a gluten-free diet? - Answer✔Many gluten-
free types of bread, cereals, cookies, and other products.
Which food groups are generally free of gluten? - Answer✔Meats, vegetables, fruits, and dairy
products.
What is the result of complete exclusion of dietary gluten for celiac disease patients? -
Answer✔Rapid and complete healing of the intestinal mucosa.
What is the major cause of prehepatic jaundice? - Answer✔Excessive hemolysis of red blood
cells.
What occurs during hemolytic jaundice? - Answer✔Red blood cells are destroyed at a rate
exceeding the liver's ability to remove bilirubin from the blood.
What can cause hemolytic jaundice following a blood transfusion? - Answer✔The decreased
lifespan of the donated red blood cells.
What is hereditary spherocytosis? - Answer✔A condition where red cell membranes are
defective, leading to hemolytic jaundice.
What is hemolytic disease of the newborn? - Answer✔A condition that can lead to excessive
bilirubin production in newborns.
How can internal hemorrhage affect bilirubin levels? - Answer✔It can lead to excess bilirubin
production with the reabsorption of blood.
What is ineffective erythropoiesis? - Answer✔A condition that can increase bilirubin
production.
What causes neonatal hyperbilirubinemia? - Answer✔Increased production of bilirubin in
newborn infants and their limited ability to excrete it from 0 to 14 days old.
