Q

indicate if the following refers to PBC or PSC:

  • (1) mostly affects females
  • (2) mostly affects younger population
  • (3) predictable and progressive
  • (4) strictures and beading seen on radiography

  • (6) florid duct lesions + loss of small hepatic ducts
A

primary (biliary / sclerosing) cholangitis
1- PBC, 90% (PSC is 70% male)
2- PSC, ~30y/o (PBC is ~50y/o)

3- PBC (PSC is progressive and unpredictable)

4- PSC- affects large ducts (PBC appears normal- affect small ducts)

5- PSC
6- PBC

Q

List causes of secondary hemochromatosis

A

Parenteral Fe overload: repeated blood transfusions, Fe dextran injections

Ineffective erythropoiesis: β-thalassemia. other chronic hemolytic anemias

Increased oral intake: Bantu disease (example of drinking beer made in iron pot –> increasing iron intake)

Chronic liver disease: alcohol, HepC
