load.
2. What are the normal ranges for ALT and AST?: ALT: 7-56 U/L;
AST: 10-40 U/L.
3. What does an elevated ALP level indicate?: It indicates bile duct
obstruction or bone disease.
4. What is the normal range for total bilirubin?: 0.1-1.2 mg/dL.
5. What does increased direct (conjugated) bilirubin indicate?:
Obstruction or hepatocellular dysfunction.
6. What is the significance of albumin levels in liver disease?:
Decreased levels indicate chronic liver disease or malnutrition.
7. What is the screening test for Hepatitis A?: Anti-HAV IgM for active
infection and Anti-HAV IgG for past exposure or immunity.
NU665D
,8. What is the transmission route for Hepatitis B?: Blood, sexual
contact, and perinatal transmission.
9. What are the screening tests for Hepatitis C?: Anti-HCV for
exposure and HCV RNA for current infection.
10. What groups should be screened for Hepatitis A?: Travelers to
endemic areas, MSM, and people with chronic liver disease.
20 Who should be screened for Hepatitis B?: Pregnant women, infants
born to HBV-positive mothers, IV drug users, MSM, HIV-positive
individuals, and household or sexual contacts of infected individuals.
21. What are the screening recommendations for Hepatitis C?: All
adults once in a lifetime, annual screening for high-risk groups, baby
boomers, pregnant women, and individuals with a history of blood
transfusions before 1992.
22. What are the clinical manifestations of diverticulitis?: High
fever, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and left lower quadrant pain.
23. What are the risk factors for diverticulitis?: Increased age,
constipation, low dietary fiber intake, obesity, and lack of exercise.
,24. What is the most common symptom of diverticulitis?: Sudden
onset abdominal pain in the left lower quadrant (LLQ).
25. What diagnostic test shows localized bowel thickening in
diverticulitis?: CT scan shows localized bowel thickening >4mm.
26. What does an abdominal ultrasound reveal in diverticulitis?:
Hypoechoic peridiverticular inflammatory reaction and bowel wall
thickening >4mm.
27. What laboratory findings indicate diverticulitis?: Elevated CRP
>50mg/L or leukocytosis.
28. What is the first line of treatment for diverticulitis?: Pain control
with oral analgesics such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or oxycodone,
along with a liquid diet.
29. When should a patient with diverticulitis be referred for
inpatient treatment?: Worsening pain, new onset fever, or inability to
tolerate fluids.
30. When should a colonoscopy be performed after a diverticulitis
episode?: After 6 to 8 weeks.
, 31. What are the indications for surgical referral in diverticulitis?:
Abscess drainage if >4cm, frank perforation, obstruction, or fistulas.
32. What are the common signs and symptoms of GERD?: Heartburn,
regurgitation of food, and weight gain.
33. What further evaluation is required for GERD?: Endoscopy is
required for dysphagia, odynophagia, iron deficiency anemia, or weight
loss.
34. What is the role of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in GERD
treatment?: PPIs inhibit acid, control symptoms, heal esophagitis, and
improve quality of life with daily dosing.
35. Name some standard-dose PPI options for GERD.:
Dexlansoprazole 30 mg, esomeprazole 40 mg, lansoprazole 30 mg,
omeprazole 20 mg, pantoprazole 40 mg, and rabeprazole 20 mg.

recurrent GERD symptoms?: Smoking cessation, avoiding meals/snacks
before bedtime, and avoiding acidic foods.
