Study Notes
GGTP and Blood Tests
- GGTP blood test is sensitive to alcoholism.
- GGTP combined with ALP indicates biliary obstruction.
- GGTP plus ALT suggests hepatocellular disease.
Tumors and Cancer Markers
- Normal AFP with high beta-hCG indicates seminoma.
- Embryonal cell carcinoma presents with high AFP and high beta-hCG.
- High AFP alone is indicative of yolk sac tumors.
- Non-seminomatous tumors are aggressive, primarily affecting individuals aged 20-30, and contain cystic areas and calcifications.
- Anaplastic thyroid cancer is the most lethal form, characterized by invasion of surrounding tissues.
- Seminoma tumors are the most common testicular cancer and lack cystic areas and necrosis.
Cystic and Solid Lesions
- Epidermoid cysts exhibit an onion-like appearance in the testicle.
- Lymphoma is the most common secondary malignancy in the testicles.
- Benign tumors such as oncocytomas have internal central scars, resembling renal cell carcinoma.
Hepatic and Vascular Findings
- Triphasic waveforms in hepatic veins indicate normal Doppler results.
- Monophasic waveform in the main portal vein shows hepatopetal flow with low resistance.
- High resistance is noted in the common iliac artery Doppler assessment.
Gallbladder and Hepatobiliary Conditions
- Emphysematous cholecystitis frequently affects males and diabetics.
- Adenomyomatosis presents as small polypoid projections, potentially causing twinkle artifacts.
- Peribiliary fluid forms around a perforated gallbladder.
Renal and Adrenal Conditions
- Conn disease leads to primary hyperaldosteronism, presenting with hypertension and renal potassium wasting.
- Retroperitoneal fibrosis can lead to ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis.
- Polysplenia is associated with right-sided defects and multiple spleens.
Gastrointestinal Disorders
- Crohn's disease is a chronic autoimmune condition often resulting in abscess formation.
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by symptoms without fever or enlarged nodes.
Cystic Conditions and Congenital Issues
- Biliary atresia is marked by narrowing or obliteration of the biliary tree, presenting a bright triangle on imaging.
- The Kasai procedure is a surgical intervention to address biliary atresia.
Miscellaneous
- Hemolytic anemia from sickle cell anemia can lead to gallstone formation due to accelerated red blood cell breakdown.
- Zinner syndrome involves an ejaculatory duct obstruction and unilateral renal agenesis.
- Wilson's disease involves excess copper, potentially causing chronic hepatitis.
