PART 2 GI PATHOLOGY: LIVER, PANCREAS, & BILIARY SYSTEMFUNCTIONS OF THE LIVER:Dr. ROXAS ± September 28, 2010
- Has cells called HEPATOCYTE
a. Necessary for metabolism stuff
b. Erythropoiesis
- During Intra-utero (2nd trimester) the liver & spleen is capable of
producing RBC. (Yolk sac 1st trimester, 3rd trimester-birth (Bones) )
- During CHRONIC ANEMIA ex:
1. Cancer elevation of TNF alpha that my inhibit erythropoietin release
2. Hemoglobinopathies (thalasemia)
- The liver & spleen hyperplasia HEPATOSPLENOMEGALY these
organs has capability of producing RBC.
c. Storage
1. Blood supply stores - Acute blood loss Liver & Spleen contracts stored blood adds on the blood volume that has been during the
hemorrhage. Therefore there no change in the serum of RBC, Hct level but
there is loss in the blood volume.
2. Glycogen stores ± Excess glucose or energy derived from amino acids
or fats stored energy in the liver. During of starvation these glycogen can
be converted to Glucose as a source of energy.
3. Adipose/Fats Pathological changes (fatty change), alcoholism
&hyperlpedemia.
d. Synthesis of Bile. Cholesterol, energy etc
.
Macrophages (Kupper Cells)
RBC sequestrated by the spleen HEME + GLOBIN
HEME BILIVERDIN (Will further synthesized by liver) + Fe++ (Transported
back by iron binding CHON / Transfferin to the Bone marrow)

ROLES LIVER
1. HemeOxygenase (HEME BILIVERDIN)
1. Biliverdinreductase (BILIVERDIN BILIRUBIN unconjugated)
2. UDP Glucoronidetransferase (Unconjugated lipid solube (not readily
excreted Conjugated water solute not easily absorb readily excreted in the
urine, feces)
a. Immunogenic actions to immunogens (bacteria/virus/fungal/parasites)
b. Degradation of HEME or damaged RBC (SPLEEN) reticuloendothelial
system (is already the job of hepatocyte) Biliverdin (Bilivervinreductase
BILIRUBIN unconjugated)
c. Enzymes that induce apoptosis to the hepatocyte
Bilirubin > 300mg in times of hyperbilirubinemia KERNICTERUS (CNS Damage),
Jaundice

General functions of the Liver:
1. Involved in Major Metabolic Processes.
a. Cytochrome p450 system necessary for drug metabolism
b. Carbohydrate Metabolism
- Glycolysis Storage Glycogen (major site) glucose
- Gluconeogenesis Using non-glucose source (CHON amino acids & FFA) can
be used to form Acetyl-CoA (for Kreb Cycle)
- Conversion of Fructose to glucose (Pentose Phosphate Pathway)
2. ALBUMIN PRODUCTION Proteins is a complex type amino acids (LIVER)
a. Osmotic Pressure Regulation (Intracellulary) Resist Hydrostatic pressure
so that fluids in the extracellular will not move inside cell PREVENT 3rd
spacing or edema.
b. Drug Binding bound drugs to protein are inactive form (high protein bound
drugs) NO PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTION
Neonates IMMATURE LIVER Less or no albumin
ELDERLY LIVER DEGENERATED/ damage Less albumin
Drugs should not be same dosage as in normal functioning liver adult
OVERDOSAGE OR POISONING
c. Can serve as energy reserve in times starvation NET PRODUCT KETO ACIDS
c. Protein Metabolism
ALL PARTS IN YOUR BODY contain the following enzymes: Found inside
the cytoplasm of the cell, actions is deaminating the amino acids(PROTEINS)
1. Aspartate aminotransferase/ SGOT/AST GLUTAMINE alpha
KETOGLUTARATE (PART OF THE KREB CYCLE ATP production)
2. Alanine aminotransferase/SGPT/ALT PYRUVATE (KREB CYCLE )
ENERGY
Deamination of CHONs NH3+ (AMMONIA)
- CO2, Alcohol, NH3+ PASS THROUGH cell membrane freely EASILY
ABSORB.
- AMMONIA is converted by the liver via ORNITINE CYCLE/ UREA CYCLE
UREA (Excreted in the feces & urine)
1. Can produced conversion of UREA into ammonia by Intestinal bacteria
(UREASE)

- can be prevented by NEOMYCIN (Kills microorganism), LACTULOSE
(Osmotic Diarrhea) MAITAE and lactic acid that formed prevents urease
activity.
- Remember if the PORTAL CIRCULATION is obstructed/ PORTAL
HYPERTENSION F ormation of collateral venous system by pass the liver
Ammonia cannot go directly and covert to urea level of ammonia rises in
the blood HYPERAMMONEMIA
- Degradation of Purine & Pyrimidine Amino Acids UREA NH3 (INTESTINE)
- Remember: NH3 is highly lipophillic it can pass through cell membranes, this can
be reabsorbed & also can penetrate the Blood Brain Barrier CNS
- If you have too much NH3
1. Encephalopathy (Hepatic) Damages the cell membranes of the nerves that
Impedes the synaptic homeostasis (Electrical & Chemical) (RELATED IN LIVER
FAILURE)
RATIONALE: HYPERAMMONEMIA there conversion of direction reaction toGLUTAMATE FORMATION INHIBITS FORMATION OF alpha KETOGLUTARATE
KREBS CYCLE REDUCED LACK ATP LACTIC ACIDOSIS ISCHEMIA death cell
CNS. COMATOSE
1.bCan cause bubbles (this is not related to LIVER FAILURE DEEP SEA diving
(Barotrauma BENDS can cause embolism & Stroke) if very fast ascending from the
deep sea. (DIFFERENT STORY)
- Transamination of Proteins
d. FAT Metabolism- Cholesterol Synthesis of (VLDL & HDL)
- Bile is formed Emulsify Fats in the Ileum area To form Micelles bind in the
lacteals Thoracic or Lympathic duct in the circulation.
- Bile Fat Soluble Vitamins absorption (ADEK)
e. For the conversion of ANGIOTENSINOGEN AGIOTENSIN 1 (aided with
RENNIN release by JG CELLS of the afferent arteriole of the Kidney)
2. Synthesis of Proteins:
Albumin Production Characteristic Action:
- Regulation of Osmotic Pressure ( Resistance to the Hydrostatic Pressure)
- Drug Binding (Protein Bound Drugs NO PHYSIOLOGIC EFFECT)a. Drugs
b. Fe (Iron Binding Protein)
c. T3 & T4 (Thyroxine Binding Protein)
Therefore all unbound drugs these participates on Physiologic Actions.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gi-part-2-lecture-for-rn 9/19
a. Esophageal Varices (Block L gastric Artery)
- This can generate the following symptoms:
1. Odynophagia usually after swallowing specifically solid bolus
2. Dysphagia with solid foods can be relieved significantly with water/liquids
3. Angina Pectoris but non cardiac origin
4. Vomiting can cause pressure in the esophagus that can mimic esophageal
venal rupture.
b. Gastric Ulcer Blockage to the blood flow and reflux may complicate
symptoms including esophageal damage
c. Rectal Varices notable blood in the anal area or after defecating. Must
institute laxatives to prevent straining or valsalva maneuver
d. Umbilical Varices Caput medusa
e. Peritonitis or enlargement of the abdomen
5. Hypoalbuminemia EDEMA (3rd Spacing), due to osmotic pressure reduction vs.
hydrostatic pressure
- Important to modify salt, NSS, water intake may retain cause hypervolemia
6. Vitamin Deficiency ± ADEK- Vitamin A May precipitate vision complaints, and reduction of growth of mucous
membranes
- Vitamin D May rise serum levels of calcium in the blood due to leaking out of
calcium in the bone and may be excreted in urine and feces
- Vitamin K Complicates bleeding
7. Immunosuppression
8. Hypertension PORTAL CIRCULATION& Collateral circulation, back-flow
-must remember that portal obstruction mediated by fibrosis of liver may impede
ammonia flow from the blood preventing ammonia (usually from intestines due
urease mediated bacterias) to proceed ornithine cycle/urea conversion
9. Accumulate NH3 CNS inflammation (increase cell membrane permeability
damage Decrease neurotransmitter release, impaired synapsis HEPATIC
ENCEPHALOPATHY (Coma Late & very high ammonia in blood), Hepatic Flap
& Apraxia, even behavioral changes early)
- Remember that alpha ketoglutarate may not give the CNS enough energy ATP,
that may activate lactic acidosis and damage.
10. Metabolic Acidosis Lactic acid buildup.
11. FATS
Cholesterol
REQUIREMENT in steroid synthesis(affect ESTROGEN GYNECOSMASTIA (FOR MALES only, estrogen fails to converted to
testosterone), CAPUT MEDUSAE
12. HEPATO-RENAL syndrome Renal failure in Liver Failure (Remember this is
transient if LIVER failure becomes compensated this can be recovered) Related
to decreased renal blood flow RENNIN RELEASE VASOCONSTRICON
Reduction in blood flow in the kidney that may damage kidney.

pushes the fluid towards peritoneal area
c. Aldosterone Release (Adrenal Cotex)(Decrease Renal Blood Flow
ANGIOTENSIN 2 activation to AT1 receptor) Na & waterretention
(Collecting Tubles)
Effects:
a. Anorexia Mechanical Compression to the Stomach
b. Dyspnea Compressive Effects that obstructs the ventilation
process (Compressive Type Atelectasis Risk Collapse Lung)
affect CO2 Risk for acidosisy 3types: Compressive (Ito angsa ascites okay), Obstructive,

2. Furosemide (LASIX) (LOOP) or Spironolactone (K-sparing
diuretic)
3. NaCl restriction & water intake(modify) Aldosterone release)
4. Monitor the weight & size of the abdominal girth
- With the use of Furosemide enhancing K loss pH rises (risk NH3 formation
HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY)
- So K-sparer prevents K loss lowers the pH Reduces the risk rising the NH47. Encephalopathy Entry of ammonia in the cell membrane (CNS) this
damages the depolarization that impedes synaptic response.
AMMONIA LIPOPHILLIC it can pass through the cell membranes , and readily
reabsorbed.
What are the incidences to Rise your NH4:
8/8/2019 GI-PART 2 Lecture for RN
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gi-part-2-lecture-for-rn 16/19
1. Protein Intake (monitor diet) Came from CHON degradation forms NH4
2. Colonic Bacteria produces NH4 specially in the presence of CHON
Treat:
- Providing ANTIBIOTIC : NEOMYCIN (non absorptive antibiotic) reduce the
number of colony of bacteria
- Providing use of Osmotic Laxative: L ACTU LOSE (Colonic bacteria will not
produce NH4 because this decreases GI pH (LACTIC ACID)
- Providing BENZODIAZEPINE (Flumazepine)GABAmimetic (UMAYOS ANG
UTAK wag moinumin please)
3. Bleeding GI tract (amino acids/CHON in RBC or blood rises NH4)
4. Rise pH
5. Loss Potassium or Hypokalemia ( using LOOP diuretics)
- ABG should be monitored for pH (rise pH indicates NH4 formation)
- Pulse oximeter check PaO2 & PaCO2
Stages Encephalopathy:(+) ASTEREXIS FLAPPING TREMOR because
un-synchronous depolarization nerve fiber)
STAGE 1: Euphoria
STAGE 2: LethargySTAGE 3: Confusion
STAGE 4: COMA permanent damage (-) ASTEREXIS
6. HEPATOMEGALY
7. SPLENOMEGALY (Splenic vein Collateral) RAS activation by kupper cell
Destroys the RBC HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA
8. ANEMIA cause:
a. SPLENOMEGALY Destruction of the MORE RBC
b. VARICES RUPTURE

ALCOHOLIC LIVER CIRRHOSIS:
Ask bottle/day, years, when is the last time?
- Considered to be malnourished (loss of Vitamin B6, & 12)
8/8/2019 GI-PART 2 Lecture for RN
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gi-part-2-lecture-for-rn 17/19
- Amount of Alcohol & Length EXPOSURE (years)
- Most common cause of liver damage (M>F common) but Females is most
affected has greater damage
- 1 BEER (330ml) 12g/dose of alcohol
- 60-80g/d for 10 years of exposure CIRRHOSIS
Changes of Liver Hepatocyte Architecture with Exposure HEPATOTOXIN:
STAGES
a. Fatty Liver (REVERSIBLE) accumulation of fatty lobules, 40-60g/d
b. Alcoholic Hepatitis Inflammation
c. Liver Cirrhosis (IRREVERSIBLE) Collagen type 1 substrates & Fibrosis +
Regenerative cells, if there is changes in the structure function
changes,also (loss). (Cytokine release TNF ±alpha, Transforming Growth
Factor Beta (TGF Beta) Collagen Type 1, IL1, IL6) , 80-160mg/d (alcohol)
d. LIVER CANCER (Hepatocellular Carcinoma)
(GALL BLADDER) Cholelithiasis STONE
- OBESITY (Accumulation of FATS & Cholesterol)
- Weight Loss (* Anti-fat etc.) (Accumulation of Free Fatty acids in the Biliary
Tracts)
- FEMALE (Estrogen Surge Retention of Cholesterol & FFA)
- PREGGY Compression in the Gallbladder HYPOMOTILITY ( loss of
peristaltic movement SLUDGING)
- OLD AGE (HYPOMOTILITYStone sludging)
REMEMBER: Risk for Pancreatitis & Liver Damage
1. Pancreatic Damage is due when the stone obstructs the common biliary tract that
increase pressure in the pancreatic duct (Pancreas secretes zymogens, bicarbonate
and pancreatic amylases May add build up pressure May compress effect the
following:
1. Zymogen can be activated AUTODIGESTION Damage
2. Pressure can compress pancreatic arterial system that may decrease blood flow and pancreatal lactic
acidosis Damage
2. Liver failure May damage the liver due pressure.
STAGES STONE FORMATION
