dx and treatment of hpylori?
endoscopy/bx or urea test or H.pylori stool Ag test (for response to tx monitoring, not initial dx)
Tx: PPI, amox, clarithro
Dx in triad of jaundice, abd mass, intermitt abd pain
Most common type
complication
choledochal cyst: congenital cystic dilation of hepatic biliary tree
Most common type 1: dilation of common bile duct
complications: cholangitis or pancreatitis
Dx of pancreatitis?
Classic sign
AMylase and lipase have to be 3x ULN
classic pain radiating to back
Turner vs Cullen sign?
What are they and what is the dx
pancreatitis
Turner: flank ecchymosis
Cullen: blue umbilicus
metabolic issues causing pancreatitis (2)
hypercalcemia
hyperlipidemia
colicky abd pain (l>R), n/v, palpable renal mass, microscopic hematuria?
UPJ obstruction
type of gallstone seen in sickle cell disease?
Pigmented stone
meds that can precipitate gallstones (3)
ceftriaxone, furosemide, OCPs
transmission of acute intermittent porphyria
autosomal dominant, but variable penetrance
Dx in pt w/ severe intermittent abd pain, n/v, weakness, confusion, seizures
acute intermittent porphyria
triggers for acute intermittent porphyria and how to dx?
low carb intake, meds(sulfa, barbiturate), hormonal changes
Dx: urine porphyrin screen (porphobiligen and ALA during acute attack only) - due to decr RBC porphobilinogen deaminase or DNA testing
When to give immunoglobulin for Hep A? vs Vaccination?
IG: before travel, lasts < 12 wks or after exposure within 14 days (day care/intimate contact)
Also two vaccines which require booster 6-18 mos later for post-exposure prophylaxis too. Used for travelers, hi risk populations, now everyone!
type of virus for hep A
RNA
type of virus for Hep b
DNA
biggest concern for pediatric hep B?
vertical trm from mom - 90% if mom is HBsAg +, and 1/2 may be chronic carriers
when do Hep B core antibodies appear?
IgM then IgG, 1-4 wks after HBsAg (not Ab), and may persist for yrs
symptomatic vs convalescent phase of Hep B infx w/ regard to HBcAb and HBsAb after acute infx
in symptomatic phase: higher HBc and rising HBs
HBs > HBc in convalescent phase
lifetime risk of hepatocellular carcinoma if hep B carrier (HBsAg +)
25%
how to prevent vertical transmission of Hep B in positive mother?
vaccinate AT BIRTH with HBIG (synergistic)
Think of correlating what with consideration of alpha interferon therapy for Hep B?
ALT!! If its high, better response and expect it to fall. Also may have loss of HBsAg
hep C type of virus
RNA
type of virus Hep E?
RNA
