Q

28
Q

lIver produces bile continously and excetes it into the

A

BILE CANALICULI

29
Q

BIle is composed of

A

water, mixed with bile salts, and acids, cholesterol. phospholipids (lecithin), proteins, and bilirubin.

30
Q

80% of the secrered conjugated bile acids are reabsorbed in the

A

terminal ileum

31
Q

GB, Bile ducts, sphicter of oddi

A

act together to store and regulate flow of bile.

32
Q

Main fx of hepatic bille

A

store hepatic bile in order to deliver it in a coordinated fashion to the duodenum in response to meal.

33
Q

MUCOSAL CELLS OF GB SECRETE AT LEAST 2 IMORTATNR PRODUCT

A

GLYCOPROTEIN AND HYDROGEN IONS

34
Q

GLYCOPROTEINS SECRETES

A

Protect the mucosa from the corrosive action and facilitate passage of bile via cystic duct.

35
Q

HYDROGEN IONS

A

decreasing the ph of stored bile. This acidification helps prevent the precipitation of ca salts, which can act as a nidus for STONE FORMATION

36
Q

main stimuli to this coordinated effort of gb emptying

A

cholecystokinin cck#

37
Q

CCK released

A

endogenouslt from enteroendocrine cells in the duodenum in response to meal

38
Q

defects in the motor activity of the gb inhibit correct emotying are thought to play a role

A

Cholesterol nucleation and gallstone formation

39
Q

Parasympathomimetic or cholinergic drugs contract the GB

A

nicotine and caffeine

40
Q

Anticholinergic drugs for gallbladder relaxation

A

Atropine

41
Q

Antral distenton of the stomach causes both

A

Gallbladder contraction and relaxation of the spinchter of oddi.

42
Q

Initial test of choice in evaluating pt with suspected malignancy of the GB

A

ct scan

43
Q

Preferred imaging modality for precise evaluation of biliary and pancreatic duct pathology

A

MRCP

44
Q

another option for noninvasive evaluation of the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and duodenum that provides both ana and fx information. Technetium-labeled derivatives of imnodiacetIc acid are injected iV, taken up by the Kupffer cells in the liver, excreted in the bile.

A

HEPATOBILIARY SCINTIGRAPHY OR HIDA SCANNING

45
Q

Advantage of ECRP

A

Direct visualization of the ampullary region, direct access to the distal common bile duct for cholangiography or cholescopy

46
Q

can be used to identify choledocholithiasis. useful for eval of retroduodenall portion of bile ducr, which is difficukt to resr in transabdominal ulratsonography

A

ENDOSCOPIC US

47
Q

biliary tree cant be assessed endoscopically, anterograde cholangiography can be performed by acessing i ntrahepatic bile ducr percistaneously with needle under fluroscopic guidance

A

Percutaneous transheparuc cholangiography

48
Q

Ptc potental rrisks

A

mainly bleeding, cholangitis, leak an dother catheter related probs

49
Q

Conditions predispose to the dev of gallstones

A

PREGNANCY
NON HDL HYPERLIPIDEMIA
CHROH’S DISEASE
CERTAIN BLOOD D/O HEREIDTARY SPHEROCYTOSIS, SC, THALASSEMIA

Q

51
Q

Primary event in the formation of cholesterol stones

A

Supersaturation of bile with cholesterol
- non polar and soluble in water and bile

52
Q

What is formed when cholesterol is secrered into bile and sourrounded by bile salts and phospholipids

A

VESICLE COMPLEX

53
Q

Contains <20% cholestererol and are dark because of the presence of CA bilirubinare.

A

PIGMENTED STONES - usually brittle, small, dark and sometimes spiculared

  • formed by supersat of Uncojugated bilirubin within the bile.
54
Q

usually <1cm in diameter, brownish-yellowish, soft, and often mushy. form either in the gb or in the bile ducts secondary to bacterial infection and bile statsis. bacteria such as E.coli secrete b-ucoronidase that enzymaticallt cleaves conjugated bilirubin to produce insoluble uncojugated bilirubin. assoc with stasis secondary to parasite infection with Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm) or Chlonorchis sinensis (liver in fluke)

A

BROWN STONES

55
Q

chief symp associated with symptomatic cholelithiasis

A

PAIN Biliary colic - constant and increases in severity. firts half of hour last up to 1 hr - 5hr

56
Q

Atypical presentations

A

in the back or left upper or right lower quadrant.
bloating and bleching may be present associated with attacks of paib,

impacted stone in the cystic duct or acute cholecystitis

58
Q

Impacted stone without cholecystitis

A

HYDROPS OF THE GB

59
Q

diagnosis of syptomatic chole or chronic chole depends on the presence of

A

typical symptoms and demonstration of stones on DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
