1. Biliary atresia?
|
a. A congenital condition affecting approximately 1 in 16,000 live births in which the liver’s bile ducts become blocked and fibrotic, resulting in reduced bile flow into the bowel.
|
|
2. Kasai procedure?
|
a. An operative procedure in which a bowel loop forms a duct to allow bile to drain from a liver with biliary atresia.
|
|
3. Rickets?
|
a. Poor mineralization of growing bone or of osteoid tissue.
|
|
4. How does liver failure affect nutrition absorption?
|
a. A person w/liver failure has poor bile salt secretion, resulting in poor fat-soluble vitamin absorption, including Vit D.
|
|
5. Effect of Vit D deficiency?
|
a. Occasionally reduced serum calcium levels
b. Markedly elevated alk phos c. Poor bone mineralization d. ↑’d risk of fractures. |
|
6. Tx of children w/Vit D deficiency from liver failure and ascites and adverse effect of the treatment?
|
a. Loop diuretics, which often cause urinary calcium losses
|
|
7. Tx of Rickets?
|
a. Goal of restoring normal bone mineralization consists of High vitamin D doses and calcium supplementation.
|
|
8. Nutritional rickets?
|
a. Results form inadequate dietary D or lack of sunlight exposure.
b. Occasionally seen in dark-skinned infants who do not receive vit D supplementation or in breast-fed infants not exposed to sunlight. |
|
9. More common causes of rickets in US?
|
a. Liver or renal failure and a variety of biochemical abnormalities in calcium and phosphorous metabolism.
|
|
10. Most common form of non-nutritional rickets?
|
a. Familial, primary hypophosphatemia.
|
|
11. Inheritance of Familial, primary hypophosphatemia?!?!?!?!?!?!?
|
a. X-linked dominant.
|
|
12. Pathophys of Familial, primary hypophosphatemia?
|
a. Phosphate reabsorption is defective, and conversion of 25 (OH)D to 1,25(OH)2D in the proximal tubules of the kidney is abnormal.
|
|
13. Lab evidence of Familial, primary hypophosphatemia?
|
a. Low serum 1,25 D
b. Low-normal serum calcium c. Moderately low serum phosphate d. Elevated Serum alk phos levels e. Hyperphosphaturia f. No evidence of hyperparathyroidism |
|
14. Physical Presentation of Familial, primary hypophosphatemia?
|
a. Children at the age of walking present w/smooth lower-extremity bowing (as compared to angular bowing of calcium-deficient rickets)
b. Waddling gait c. Genu Varum, Genu valgum, coxa vara, and short stature. |
|
15. Additional rickets findings more specific to calcium-deficient rickets?
|
1. Myopathy
2. Rachitic rosary 3. Pectus deformities 4. Tetany. b. These are usually not seen in Familial, primary hypophosphatemia- rickets. |
|
16. Teeth defect in Familial, primary hypophosphatemia-rickets vs. calcium deficient-rickets?
|
a. Familial, primary hypophosphatemia: Intraglobular dentin deformities.
b. Calcium-deficient rickets: enamel defects. |
|
17. Radiologic findings in rickets?
|
a. Course-appearing trabecular bone
b. Widening, fraying, and cupping of the metaphysis of the proximal and distal tibia, distal femur radius, and ulna. |
|
18. 6 Causes of Calcium deficiency w/secondary hyperparathyroidism (Vit D deficiency or low 25 (OH) D w/o stimulation of 1,25(OH)2D production)?
|
1. Lack of Vit D (diet, sunlight, congenital)
2. Malabsorption of D 3. Hepatic disease 4. Anticonvulsive drugs 5. Renal Osteodystrophy 6. Vitamin D-dependent type 1 (distal) |
|
