Reye’s syndrome

132
Q

Liver disease in children and teenagers, neuropsychaitric disease in adults

A

Wilson’s disease

  • Autosomal recessive abnormal copper metabolism
  • Elevated hepatic copper, decreased ceruloplasmin, serum copper levels are low because it’s all in the tissues, increased copper in urine

  • Portal to hepatic vein gradient of > 10
  • Diagnose with abdominal US with doppler
135
Q

Risks for portal hypertension

A
  • Hx of UVC causing portal vein thrombosis
  • Kids with chronic liver disease
  • Splenomegaly is the most sensitive indicator of portal hypertension and varices
136
Q

Symptoms and transmission of hepatitis A

A
  • Flu like symptoms plus jaundice and elevated LFTs
  • Recent travel
  • Fecal oral transmission
  • Poor hygiene, poor sanitation, drinking contaminated water or eating shellfish from contaminated waters

137
Q

Transmission of hepatitis B

A
  • Blood transfusions, bodily fluids, sexual contact, perinatal transmission
138
Q

Serologies in acute hepatitis B

A
  • HBsAg positive (tells active infection but not acute/chornic)
  • HBeAg (high viral load)
  • HBV-DNA (indicates viral replication)
139
Q

Serologies in recovery hepatitis B

A
  • Disappearance of HBV-DNA and HBsAg

- Appearance of HBsAb, HBcAb, HBeAb - antibodies to surface antigen, core antigen, and e antigen

140
Q

Serologies in chronic hepatitis B

A

Persistance of surface antigen HBsAg beyond 6 months

141
Q

Most common bloodborn infection in the US

A

Hepatitis C - also most common cause of chronic viral hepatitis
- Increased risk of HCC

142
Q

Hepatitis E virus transmission

A
  • Fecal oral route from contaminated water in Asia, Africa, Mexico
  • Does not lead to chronic hepatitis
143
Q

Most specific test to diagnose pancreatitis

A

Abdominal ultrasound (not serum amylase)

  • ERCP can be used to follow recurrent pancreatitis not diagnose acute
  • Lipase is more specific than amylase
  • Additional labs: hyperglycemia, hypocalcemia, elevated creatinine, anemia, coagulopathy
144
