esophageal varices
|
|
what is the most common cause of portal HTN?
|
cirrhosis
|
|
a disease which affects all organs of the body, but most lethally the liver and the brain. it is a two-phase illness because it is almost always associated with a previous viral infection, such as influenza, cold, or chicken pox. MC in children. associated w the use of ASA

|
gastrointestinal irritation and bleeding, allergy, associated w/ Reye's syndrome, bleeding in general.
|
|
a Score used to assess the prognosis of chronic liver disease, mainly cirrhosis. Although it was originally used to predict mortality during surgery, it is now used to determine the prognosis, as well as the required strength of treatment and the necessity of liver transplantation.
|
Child-Pugh score
|
|
what are the 3 phases of neural/hormonal influence on gastric function?
|
Cephalic
Gastric Intestinal |
|
what are the 3 basic types of gastritis
|
acute (erosive/hemorrhagic)
non-erosive special forms |
|
what is the most common symptom of acute gastritis?
|
nondiscript epigastric descomfort
|
|
what is the only gastritis that cannot be treated with H2 blockers or sucralfate?
|
if p has Portal HTN gastritis. use BB instead.
|
|
h.pylori causes 80% of this infectious disease and therefore R/O pernicious anemia?
|
Infectious gastritis
|
|
this type of chronic gastritis usually affects the body and antrum and sometimes promotes Peptic ulcer disease?
|
infectious gastritis
|
|
this type of chronic gastritis usually spares the antrum and affects the pariental cells. specific to the body and fundus. there is a lack of intrinsic factor produced, decrease in acid production?
|
autoimmune gastritis
|
|
what are some examples of Granulomatous Gastritis?
|
-TB
-syphilis -fungal -sarciod -crohn's |
|
mild epigstric discomfort, occasional N/V, HA, excessive salivation, flatus are symptoms of ?
|
acute gastritis
|
|
what are some common findings that indicate gastritis?
|

a break in the duodenal or gastric mucosa that extends through the muscularis mucosae, are usually 5mm-1cm?
|
Peptic Ulcer Disease
|
|

|
duodenal
gastric ZE syndrome |
|
gastric and duodenal ulcers tend to recur in the same location? T/F
|
true.
|
|
this is typically relieved by food, increases acid production in the stomah and H.pylori is the number one cause?
|
duodenal ulcer
|
|
this condition is worsened by eating or by the use of NSAIDS; normal or decreased acid production and decreased mucosal resistance?
|
gastric ulcer
|
|
where are most duodenal ulcers located?
|
in the duodenal bulb. ulcers distal to the duodenal bulb should raise suspicion for ZE syndrome
|
|
which is more common, duodenal or gastric ulcer?

|
|
where are gastric ulcers commonly located?
|
lesser curvature. malignancies more likely at greater curvature.
|
|
what is the 2nd MC etiology of PUD?
|
NSAID's
|
|
how do NSAID's cause PUD?
|
they inhibit prostaglandins which normally timulate production of mucous secretions & bicarb
