I don't have answers for these question. I would like to clarify the answers to questions I have answered and get some with ones I don't know. Thanks
A 60 years old man had 60% of his small intestine resected due to ischaemic necrosis. If he gets no further treatment, the features he may develop are include.
a) Megaloblastic anaemia
I'm thinking this is true because terminal ileum is needed for vitamin B12 absorption. But the question is vague, 60 percent of which part of small intestine?
b) Prolonged clotting time.
True. Due to lack of absorption of bile salts from terminal ileum
c)Hyperproteinamic odema
No idea
d)Hypercalcaemia
False. Hypo due to its absorption in small intestine.
e)Iron deficiency anaemia
True due to its absorption in duodenum
A 60 year old man had 50% distal small intestine resected. If he gets no further treatment he may develop.
a)Hypercalaemia
b)Hypoproteineamic oedema
c)Dehydration
I'm not sure about the answers to these. Also I heard that duodenum and jejujunum can adapt to carry out each other's function if one is resected, but ileum damage can not be compensated. Is that correct.
Thanks
