This book seems to be good, but it seems kind of short, especially compared to kaplan. Its only 250 pages and about the last 50 pages are images. Page 10-37 is pediatrics and 37- 122 internal medicine, then 20 pages of gynecology and obstretics, etc. Here is what is says on
"Biliary tract disease Jaundice can also be caused by bile duct oabstruction. Look for marked elevation of alkaline phosphatase (or gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) or 5' nucletidase). Conjugated (i.e., direct) bilirubin is more elevated than unconjugated bilirubin. Other features include pruitus, clay colored stools, and dark urine, which is strongly bibirubin positive. Unconjugated bilirubin is not excreted in the urine becuase it is tightly bound to albumin.
1. Common bile duct obstruction with gallstones (ie choledochithiasis): Look for a history of gallstones or the four Fs (female, forty, fertile, fat) and abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant. Ultrasound may be able to image the stone: if not, use magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatogramy (MRCP) to diagnose and endoscopic retrograde cholagiopancreatography (ERCP) to treat (FIg. 3-25)
2. Common bile duct obstruction from cancer: ussually pancreatic cancer (painless jaundice and papable gallbadder= Courvoisures sign), occasionally cholangiocarcinoma or bowel cancer.
3. Cholestasis: often from medication (birth control pills, phenohizines, androgens) or pregnacy.
4. Primary biliary cirrhosis: middle - aged woman with no risk factors for liver or biliary disease, marked pruitus, jaundice, and positive antimitochondrial antibodies (the rest of the workup is negative). Cholestryamine helps with symptoms, but no treatment is available other than liver transplantion.
