MNT liver

disease resulting form excessive alcohol ingestion, characterized by fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis

aa phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine

accumulation of fluid, serum protein, electrolytes within the peritoneal cavity caused by increased pressure from portal hypertension and decreased production of albumin

thick, viscous fluid secreted from liver, stored in the gallbladder, and released into the duodenum when fatty foods enter the duodenum; emulsified fats in intestine and forms cmpds w FA to facilitate their absorption

a valine, isoleucine, leucine

inflammation in bile ducts; may be acute or sclerosing

removal of gall bladder

inflammation of gall bladder

presence of gallstones in common bile duct

presence or formation of gallstones

suppression of biliary flow

chronic liver disease caused by diffuse necrosis and regeneration, leading to an increase in fibrous tissue formation disrupting the normal liver structure

low blood glucose caused by decreased availability of glucose from glycogen as result of depressed liver function

condition (hepatic steatosis) characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in liver commonly caused by alcohol abuse but also associated with obesity, starvation, intestinal bypass, parenteral alimentation, insulin resistance

absence of preexhisting liver disease and development of liver disease with hepatic encephalopthy within 2 mos of onset of illness

clinical syndrome characterized by impaired mentation, neuromuscular disturbances, and altered consciousness; four stages for progression

conditionin which liver fxn is dimished to 25% or less

complication of chronic liver disease in which bone mass declines

fatty liver

widespread inflammation of liver; usually viral in origin

functional renal failure w/o anatomic or histopathologic renal changes; assoc w cirrhosis and ascites or with obstructive jaundice

syndrome characterized by hyperbilirubinemia and deposition of bile pigment, resulting in yellowing of skin, mucous membranes and sclera

greenish yellow pigmented ring encircling the cornea just within the corneoscleral margin; formed by copper deposits in Descement's membrane of the cornea; occurs in patients with Wilson's disease

fixed phagocytes in sinusoids of liver

intermediate stage in fatty liver disease characterized by accumulation of fat droplets in the hepatocytes and presence of fibrous tissue and acute and chronic inflammatory cells

(whipple procedure)
excision of head of pancreas along with encircling loop of duodenum; may include partial gastrectomy

inflammation of pancreas caused by autodigestion of pancreatic tissue by its own enzymes

procedure during which fluid from the abdomen is removed through needle

normally increased blood pressure in portal venous system due to the obstruction of blood flow thorugh liver

hepatic encephalopathy

immune mediated chronic cirrhosis of liver caused by obstruction or infection of small and intermediate-size intrahepatic bile ducts; the extrahepatic biliary tree and larger intrahepatic ducts are normal; 90% of patients are women

liver damage that results from bile backup as a result of gall bladder disease

presence of excess fat in stool

low pressure veins that become distended from increased pressure; most commonly developed in the lower esophagus and upper stomach

conditiion of damage to the CNS from thiamin deficiency; common in alcoholism

autosomal-recessive disorder of copper metabolism in which excessive accumulation of copper occurs in liver, CNS and kidney
