ANS: B
c increasing protein intake
d removing the underlying cause
ANS: D
Trang 2Fatty infiltration of the liver can be reversed by removing the underlying cause This may be alcohol abuse, excessive kcal intake, obesity, complications of drug therapy (e.g., corticosteroids, tetracyclines), total parenteral nutrition, pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, inadequate intake of protein (e.g., kwashiorkor), infection, or malignancy Losing weight and reducing fat intake will only help if the underlying cause for that individual is related to weight and fat intake Increasing protein intake will only help
if the cause is kwashiorkor

11 If a patient with cirrhosis of the liver becomes confused and apathetic, he or she may be developing
a fatty liver
Trang 7If a patient with cirrhosis of the liver becomes confused and apathetic, he or she may
be developing hepatic encephalopathy, as the brain is influenced by compounds that have been absorbed from the intestine and have not been metabolized by the liver Fatty liver develops first, before progression to cirrhosis Any form of hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis, but cirrhosis does not cause hepatitis Depression may cause
apathy, but does not usually cause confusion

12 Drugs that are used to treat hepatic encephalopathy include
Neomycin is an antibiotic used to sterilize the bowel to decrease the amount of urea that can be converted to ammonia Lactulose is used to lower stool pH which traps ammonia in the colon Antidepressants are ineffective because the mental problems associated with encephalopathy are related to metabolism rather than depression Diuretics are used to treat ascites associated with cirrhosis, but are not used for encephalopathy Steroids are not effective Lactulose is used to lower stool pH, not for its laxative and stool softening effects
