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.
