-
location of absorption of
Iron
B12
bile salts
-
B-12 absorption
- pepsin release b-12 (cobalamin) from animal proteins, . In an acidic environment b-12 binds R binder protein
- in alkaline small bowel, r-binder is hydrolyzed by pancreatic proteases to liberate cobalamin. this binds intrinsic factor .
- This compound is absorbed in the ileum.
-
Fat digestion
- Some triglycerides are digested by lingual and gastric lipase
- Pancreatic lipases work most of action in jejunem.
- free fatty acids and b monoglycerol mix with bile salts to form mixed micelles.
- Mixed micelles enter the enterocyte. Here free fatty acids and b-monoglycerol are re esterified into triglycerides. From here the triglicerides are encorporated into lipoproteins and are secreted into the systemic circulation
-
mechanism of folate absorption
enzymes on jejunal brush border. pH dependent carrier mediated transport into enterocyte. Binds albumin and other carrier proteins and is stored in the liver.
-
conditon that can lead to increased folate levels.
Small bowel bacterial overgrowth. The bacteria make folate in small bowel where it is absorbed in large quantity
-
mechanism of absorption of fat soluble vitamins
- similar to fat absorption
- micelle formation, with fat soluble vitamins inside, absorption to enterocytes,
-
Calcium abosrption
- ionic calcium like in milk requires no digestion
- protein bound calcium is cleaved in the acid environment in the stomach. and absorbed in the duodenum.
- fiber and vegetables in diet can bind ca and form insoluble compleses that reduce ca absorption.
- Ca absorption requires vit d.
-
iron absorption
Ferric Fe3+ must be converted to FE2+. This occurs in the acid environment of the stomach. and by ferrireductase (on the brush border of enterocytes)
DMT-1 transporter mostly in duodenum
-
how to calculate the osmotic gap
290- ((Na)-(K))*2
- less than 50 = secretory
- greator than 50 = osmotic
-
List an uncommon manifestations of SIBO
Hint
Liver problem
NASH
-
List another source of "early peak" on breath testing other than SIBO
- intestinal hurry-
- in bypass patients where a large amt of glucose containing chyme is rapidly transferred to the colon
-
Condition where B-12 is low and serum folate is elevated
- SIBO
- bacteria metabolize b-12 and generate high levels of folate.
-
Early complication after extensive small bowel resection
gastric hypersecretion and peptic ulceration
-
diarrheal malabsorptive syndrome when more than 100cm of terminal ileum remains
bile salt diarrhea. liver can compensate for fat absorption by increasing bile salt production. decreased ileal reabsorption of bile salts leads to diarrhea.
-
diarrhea malabsorptive syndrome when less than 100cm of ileum remains
fat malabsorption. Here liver can overcome bile salt defecit because of extensive ileal resection. ultimetly not enough bile salts are around in lumen and fat malabsorption begins. This is made worse by administration of a bile salt binder
-
patient with extensive ileal resection presents with flank pain
calcium oxalate stones.
increased iltraluminal fat binds dietary calcuim. This leads to unbound oxilate in colon. This is taken up in blood and makes its way to kidney- forming oxalate stones
-
treatment of Ca oxalate renal stones
- increase Ca in diet
- decrease oxalate in diet
- low fat diet.
