inflammation of the liver
->fibrosis (scarring), ->cirrhosis, ->hepatocellular carcino- ma or liver cancer.
Toxins, certain drugs, some diseases, heavy alcohol use, and bacterial and viral infections can all cause hepatitis.
A, E: Fecal/oral = self-limiting
B,D: sex, vertical (mother to child), IV. =chronic C: blood = chronic
Jaundice (d/t build up of bilirubin), pruritus (itching),
RUQ pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, constipation, anorex- ia,
general flu-like symptoms. low-grade fever
A, E: Non/self-limiting; heals 6mths
B,D: Antiviral medications, liver transplant. C: interferon, ribavirin.
Cholelithiasis
Formation of gallstones
Choledocholithiasis
Obstruction of the biliary tract by gallstones

Formation of gall stone
bile contains too much cholesterol, bilirubin (Pigment gall- stones), gallbladder doesn't empty correctly
pain below sternum
Back pain between your shoulder blades Radiating pain right shoulder/neck Nausea and vomiting
jaundice
laparoscopic cholecystectomy, oral bile acid dissolution drugs
11. jaundice patho- physiology
Occurs d/t build-up of bilirubin, a by-product of heme catabolism,
12. jaundice etiology A weak or damaged liver doesn't metabolize bilirubin /
combine bilirubin to bile from the gall bladder
