Q

Bilirubin production and excretion

A
  • Hemoglobin degraded to bilirubin by the reticuloendothelial system
  • Bilirubin is carried in circulation by albumin (bound to it)
  • Hits liver: bilirubin is conjugated with glucuronic acid by UDP glucuronyl transferase
  • Part of the conjugated bilirubin (glucuronide and bilirubin sulfate) is H2O soluble and excreted into bile
  • In the intestine conjugated bilirubin is converted to urobilinogen
  • 18% returned to the liver via the enterohepatic circulation then excreted in urine as urobilin (2%)
  • 80% is excreted in feces as urobilin and stercobilin

Q

Cirrhosis / Ascites loop

A

Cirrhosis causes:
* Lowered albumin which lowers colloid oncotic pressure (pushes fluid out)
* Increased liver sinusoids resistance which increases portal pressure
* This causes fluid loss and decreased venous return
* This increases RAAS and ADH to compensate for hypovolemia
* Increases BP which pushes out more fluid…cycle continues
