What is it?
the formation of gallstones that are made up of so much cholesterol
*supersatured cholesterol
PAT 401-011 WK 7: GI Disorders of the Accessory Organs
Disorder #2: Cholelithiasis
What is it caused by?
There are many causes
Enzyme cause explain
Think about it
there is so much cholesterol it is forming stones
why is this excess cholesterol not breaking down and why is it accumulating?
cause: the body has an enzyme defect that causes EXCESS cholesterol synthesis
PAT 401-011 WK 7: GI Disorders of the Accessory Organs
Disorder #2: Cholelithiasis
What is it caused by?
There are many causes
Bile acid impairment (2)
decreased secretion of bile acids which emulfisy fats therefore cholesterol which is a fat builds up!
OR
decreased resorption of bile salts from the ileum
PAT 401-011 WK 7: GI Disorders of the Accessory Organs
Disorder #2: Cholelithiasis
What is it caused by?
What do bile salts do and why do they need to resorped from the ileum?
Briefly Explain
Bile salts are produced in the liver from cholesterol and stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine during digestion.
they emulsify fats such as cholesterol: by breaking down fat molecules via their hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties
now why do they need to be reasorbed from the ileum? the fat they engulf from the iluem is taken back to the liver for storage if it is not reabsorbed it can cause gallstones since the gallbladder is connected to the liver via the bile canalicuili forming the common hepatic duct
PAT 401-011 WK 7: GI Disorders of the Accessory Organs
Disorder #2: Cholelithiasis
What is it caused by?
There are many causes
Gallbladder motility cause
gallbladder smooth muscle hypomotility (not moving bile out when needed or excreting it)
accumulated bile becomes concentrated and hypersaturaed causing gallstones
PAT 401-011 WK 7: GI Disorders of the Accessory Organs
Disorder #2: Cholelithiasis
What is it caused by?
There are many causes
why is bile released from the gallbladder for what reason?
the gallbladder releases bile to aid in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats
unused bile is reabsorbed in the ileum and returned to the liver and secreted again into new bile or stored in the gallbladder for future use
PAT 401-011 WK 7: GI Disorders of the Accessory Organs
Disorder #2: Cholelithiasis
What is it caused by?
There are many causes
Gallbladder secretion cause
increased secretion of gallbladder mucin and biliary calcium
PAT 401-011 WK 7: GI Disorders of the Accessory Organs
Disorder #2: Cholelithiasis
What is it caused by?
There are many causes
how does increased secretion of gallbladder mucin and biliary calcium contribute to gallstones?
A: MUCIN = is a glycoprotein secreted by the gallbladder lining that thickens the bile, when mucin is increased it can trap the bile salts, cholesterol, and calcium creating a sticky gel like environment providing a perfect environment for cholesterol stones
B: Clalcium promotes the crystalization of cholesterol reducing its solubility making cholesterol stones more likely
