GASTROENTEROLOGY(B)

 

A1.

·         The cause of pancreatitis in this case can be attributed to ALCOHOL.

                                                          In acute pancreatitis

                                                                 ↓

                          Premature activation of zymogen granules in pancreas

                                                                  ↓

                             Increased release of proteases into surrounding tissues

                                                                  ↓

             Pleural effusion due to seepage of fluid from abdominal cavity to thoracic cavity

                                                                     ↓

                                                                 DYSPNAE


A2.

                                                   In acute pancreatitis

                                                              ↓

                          there is destruction of pancreas(pancreatic cells)

                                                              ↓

                         pancreas is the only source for production of insulin

                                                            ↓

                insulin is the only hormone responsible for reducing blood sugars in blood

                                                            ↓

                                   therefore this leads to hyperglcemia

A3.

     Elevated LFT’s : may be due to alcohol causing liver damage.

   GGT- Gamma Glutamyl Transferase is most specific marker for alcoholic liver disease.

A4.
