Q

What is HCL?

A

Hydrochloric acid

-aids in digestion
-serves as barrier to infection

Q

What is the most common acid relates disease?

A

Mild to moderate hyperacidity such as indigestion sour stomach heartburn and acid stomach

23
Q

What substance can secrete HCL by the parietal cell?

A

Certain food such as chocolate
Caffein
Alcohol
Emotional stress

24
Q

Which cell is primary target for many of the most effective drugs for treatment of acid related disorders

A

Parietal cells

25
What 3 types of the receptors can you find in wall of parietal cells
Acetycholine ACh Histamine Gastrin
26
What happens when these receptors is occupied y its corresponding chemical stimulant?
The parietal cell will produce and secrete HCL
27
What is the proton pump?
The hydrogen-potassium -adenosine triposphatase ATPase a pump for transport of hydrogen ions located in parietal cell. If energy is presented the proton pump will be activated and the pump will be able to transport hydrogen ions needed to produce HCL
28
What drives the proton pump for ACh and gastrin receptor
Calcium ions
29
What drives proton pump for histamine receptor?
Production of adenylate cuclase which converts adenosine triphosphate ATP to cyclic adenosine monophosphate cAMP which provides energy for the proton pump
30
stress ulcer prophylaxis or therapy that prevents sever GI damage is undertaken in which cases?
Almost every critically ill patient in Crictial Care Unit CCU and for many patients on general medical surgical units
31
Factors related to stress related mucosal damage
Decrease blood flow Mucosal ischema Hypoperfusion Reperfusion injury
32
What is curling ulcer
Acute peptic ulcer of duodenum that occurs in patients with sever burns resulting decreased blood volume which leads to ischemia and cell necrosis of the gastric mucosa
33
What is antacids
Basic compounds to neutralize stomach acids
34
How does the bicarbonate reacts with stomach HCL
Release carbon dioxide gas that is quickly absorbed but sometimes results in release of the gas as a burp
35
What is alginate
A tasteless substance dervied from kelp or seaweed It is not antacids but creates a physical gel barrier floating between gastric acid and esophagus which prevents acid to go into esophagus
36
Example of antacid containing alginate sodium
Gaviscon
37
Peppermint
Most common added to antacids and it relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter so that gas can be released
38
Why would not peppermint good for patients with GERD
A stomach acid would flow back into esophagus
39
What other antacid formulation exits
Aluminum and calcium based antacid formulation
40
What do aluminium and calcium based antacid formulation that includes magnesium contribute to
Contributes acid neutralizing capacity and counteracts the constipating effects of aluminium and calcium
41
Which calcium salts is commonly used
Calcium carbonate
42
What condition can calcium antacids lead to
Developmental of kidney stone and increased gastric acid secretion
43
Which patient should avoid antacids containing magnesium
Kidney failure patient
44
How does sodium bicarbonate work
Highly soluble antacid with quick onset but short duration of action
45
What does antacids promote
Gastric mucosal defensive mechanisms by stimulating the secretion of mucus, prostaglandins and bicarbonate from the cells i side the gastric glands
46
What does mucus serve
Mucus serves as a protective barrier against the destructive actions of HCL
47
What does bicarbonate do?
Buffers acidity of HCL
48
What does prostaglandins do?
Prevents histamine from binding to its corresponding parietal cell receptor which inhibits production of adenylate cyclase. Without cyclase no cAMP can be formed and no second messenger is available to activate proton pump
49
What is primary drug effect of antacids?
The reduction of symptoms associated with various acid-related disorders such as pain and reflux
50
Indications for antacids
Acute relief of symptoms associated with peptic ulcer gastritis gastric hyperacidity and reflux
51
Contraindication of antacids
Allergy to specific drug product Sever kidney failure Electrolyte disturbance GI obstruction
52
Adverse reactions
Magnesium preparation particularly milk of magnesia can cause diarrhea
53
Adverse reactions antacids
Aluminium and calcium containing formulation result in constipation Calcium can cause kidney stones and rebound hyperacidity or acid rebound
54
Other adverse effects
Long term self medication with antacids may mask symptoms of serious underlying condition such as bleeding ulcer or malignancy
