    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.
