1. type 2 diabetes most common form of DM
mellitus
insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction lead to a relative lack of insulin --
hypoinsulinemia
- suspect decreased number of insulin receptors of abnormal translocation of
glucose transporters
- as disease progresses, insulin production may be impaired

risk factors:
female sex
obesity
aging
sedentary lifestyle

nonketotic hyperglycemia hyperosmolar coma can develop, more common in
older adults

hyperosmolar coma (HHNK) occurs because endogenous insulin suppresses ke-
tone formation and thus prevents ketoacidosis

dehydration develops with high osmolality and hemoconcentration of erythrocytes,
proteins, and creatine

2. hormonal regula- 1. glucose in ingested food causes a brief rise in insulin release (first phase)
tion after a meal
2. continued glucose causes the second phase: insulin production

3. ingestion of nutrients stimulates the release of glucose-dependent insulinotrop-
ic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) from cells in the gut

the effect on blood glucose is known as the incretin effect

General manifes- Acute liver failure
tations of hepato- jaundice, decreased clotting factors, hypoalbuminemia , decreased vitamins D and
cellular failure K (osteomalacia -- vitamin D; poor blood-clotting factor production -- vitamin K)

4. hormonal regula- GIP and GLP-1 stimulate the production of insulin
tion GLP-1 inhibits glucagon

glucose oxidized in the cell (glycolysis) and used primarily for glycogenesis (pro-
duction of glycogen in liver and muscle)

glycolysis ----> glycogenesis (glucagon)

5. portal hyperten- sluggish blood flow resulting in increased pressure in portal circulation
sion
congested venous drainage of the GI tract

clinical manifestations:
anorexia
varices (esophageal, gastric, hemorrhoidal)
ascites

6. gastroe- Abnormal veins in the lower part of the tube running from the throat to the
sophageal stomach.
varices
complex venous network surrounds the proximal part of the stomach and esoph-
agus

collateral venous pathways surround the proximal part of the stomach and esoph-
agus and dilates in response to elevated portal pressure

clinical features:
affects about half of cirrhotic patients
variceal bleeding is a life threatening condition
- mortality = 50%

- two distinct phases of a variceal hemorrhage
1. coincident with and shortly after bleeding
2. period of 6-8 weeks following initial bleeding
* greatest risk of rebleed occurs in the first 72 hours (lethal)

clinical manifestations:
hematemesis, melena, bright red rectal bleeding, anemia, shock

treatment:
fluid resuscitation
- normal saline via large-bore IV lines
correcting the coagulopathy and stopping further bleeding with blood compo-
nents and clotting factors replaced
- parenteral vitamin K, fresh frozen plasma, platelets, recumbent factor VIIa
vasopressin, nitroglycerin
- lowers portal pressure
emergency EGD
- endoscopic sclerosis
endoscopic ligation of esophageal varices
- suctioning and ligation of varix

7. Chrohn's disease affects all layers of the intestinal wall of the proximal portion of the colon or terminal
(regional enteri- ileum
tis or granuloma-
tous colitis) suggestive findings are ulcerations, strictures, fibrosis, and fistulas

clinical manifestations:
intermittent bolus of fever
diarrhea, if bloody, not as severe as ulcerative colitis
constant chronic RLQ pain (may have mass or tenderness)

8. chronic active he- progressive liver destruction inflammatory disease of liver
patitis
