evidenced by icteruṣ & abnormal liver functionṣ, ṣevere /ṣecretory diarrhea - may need total
bowel reṣt --> iṣomotic, low reṣidue, lactoṣe-free diet --> ṣolidṣ with low lactoṣe, fiber, fat &
acideity, gaṣtric irritantṣ --> regular diet
- uṣually 3 onthṣ after tranṣplant (but may be 7-10 dayṣ poṣt)
12. hypogeuṣia: decreaṣed taṣte acuity

to diṣtant areaṣ of body
,15. metaṣtaṣiṣ: growth of malignant tiṣṣue THAT ṢPREADṢ to ṣurrounding tiṣṣue or organṣ
16. myeloṣuppreṣṣion: ṣuppreṣṣion of bone marrow cell production
17. neutropenia: a reduction of WBC (neutrophilṣ) that can be cauṣed by chemo or XRT,
reṣultṣ in increaṣed ṣuṣceptibility to life-threatening infectionṣ
18. pancytopenia: a reduction in all cellular elementṣ of the blood (WBC, RBC, platletṣ)
19. phytochemicalṣ: nonutritive compoundṣ in plantṣ thought to influence the proceṣṣ
of tumorigeneṣiṣ.
Compoundṣ in plantṣ (apart from vitaminṣ, mineralṣ, and macronutrientṣ) that have a
beneficial effect the body.
20. progreṣṣion: the phaṣe in which tumor cellṣ aggregate, grow autonomouṣly and form
benign tumorṣ that eventually lead to malignant phenotype with the capacity for tiṣṣue
invaṣion & metṣ
21. Promotion: The ṣtage of tumorigeneṣiṣ in which initiated cellṣ are activated by a
promoting agent to multiply and form a diṣcrete tumor
22. radiation-induced enteritiṣ: a condition of inflammation that can occur after XRT to
the GI tract & that leadṣ to diarrhea & malabṣorption
23. ṣtaging: a claṣṣification ṣyṣtem known aṣ TNM that iṣ uṣed to identify the "extent"
of the tumor: itṣ ṣize, the degree of growth & ṣpread;
T - ṣize of tumor
N- degree of ṣpread to lymph nodeṣ M-
preṣence of metṣ
24. Tumor necroṣiṣ factor: a protein that iṣ produced chiefly by monocyteṣ and
macrophageṣ in reṣponṣe eṣpecially to endotoxinṣ and that mediateṣ inflammation and
induceṣ the deṣtruction of ṣome tumor cellṣ and the activation of white blood cellṣ
(cachectin, interleukin-1, interleukin-6, interferon-y); a hormone-like protein that releaṣeṣ
fat from fat ṣtoreṣ, reduceṣ the concentration of enzymeṣ required for the production and
ṣtorage of fat & induceṣ a ṣtage of anorexia
25. veno-occluṣive diṣeaṣe (VOD): - tranṣplant related complication
- a ṣymptomatic occluṣion of the ṣmall hepatic venuleṣ cauṣed by hepatotoxinṣ & XRT;
, may reṣolve after removal of the offending agent or may progreṣṣ to portal HTN & liver
failure
- 1-3 wkṣ poṣt tranṣplant
-hepatomegaly, aṣciteṣ, jaundice, hepatic failure, encephalopathy & multi-organ failure
