Study Notes
Digestive System Disorders
- In ulcerative colitis, a low-fiber, low-residue diet is recommended to reduce symptoms.
Acute Diverticulitis
- A liquid diet is recommended during active inflammation to manage symptoms.
Digestive Process
- Bile emulsifies fats, facilitating their digestion and absorption.
Hepatitis A
- A diet rich in carbohydrates, low in fat, and high in protein is recommended to support liver function.
Alcohol Use
- The gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) lab test is commonly used to detect excessive alcohol use.
Peptic Ulcer
- Severe, sudden, and persistent abdominal pain is a characteristic symptom of peptic ulcer perforation.
- The initial step in managing a bleeding lesion in the colon is to stabilize the patient's hemodynamic status.
Cholelithiasis
- A low-fat diet is recommended to manage gallstone formation.
Chronic Pancreatitis
- Chronic alcohol abuse is the most likely cause of chronic pancreatitis.
Bleeding Duodenal Ulcer
- Hematemesis (vomiting blood) is a manifestation of bleeding duodenal ulcers.
Digestion
- Pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids in the stomach.
Pancreatitis
- Elevated serum amylase and lipase levels are indicative of pancreatitis.
GERD
- Heartburn, regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing are common manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Gastric Resection
- A nasogastric (NG) tube is used to suction the stomach and prevent acute dilatation after gastric resection for adenocarcinoma.
Gallbladder Function
- The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile, releasing it into the small intestine to aid in fat digestion.
Colostomy Care
- The colostomy stoma should be cared for by keeping it clean and dry, and monitoring for signs of infection or complications.
