Study Notes
Gastrointestinal Conditions and Liver Function Tests
- Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are both immune-mediated conditions characterized by relapsing and remitting episodes of inflammation.
- Ulcerative colitis specifically involves the colon and always involves the rectum, while Crohn's disease can affect any part of the GI tract.
- Ulcerative colitis is characterized by inflammation of the mucosa layer of the colon, while Crohn's disease involves the entire thickness of the colon wall.
- Symptoms of ulcerative colitis include bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, anemia, and joint swelling, among others.
- Diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease is done through colonoscopy and biopsy.
- Treatment for both conditions includes medications such as 5-ASA, immunomodulators, steroids, and biologics, with surgery being a last-line option.
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by altered GI motility and visceral hypersensitivity, and is diagnosed based on recurrent abdominal pain without other causes.
- Treatment for IBS mainly involves vigorous exercise, while diet changes are not considered helpful.
- Liver function tests such as ALT, AST, Alk phos, GGT, bilirubin, PT, and INR are used to assess liver function and injury.
- Acute hepatocellular damage is indicated by elevated AST and ALT levels, while biliary obstruction/cholestasis is indicated by elevated Alk phos and GGT levels.
- Gilbert's syndrome is a benign condition characterized by mildly elevated bilirubin levels.
- Conditions such as acute pancreatitis, cholestasis, cholelithiasis, and cholecystitis have specific diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches.
