354.4.3 🎯 盧醫垫的考前提醒

  1. LFT pattern recognition criticalhepatocellular (AST + ALT ↑↑) vs cholestatic (ALP + GGT ↑↑) vs mixed vs isolated hyperbilirubinemia
  2. AST:ALT ratio interpretation> 2 with GGT high = alcoholic liver disease (mitochondrial AST); > 1 = cirrhosis/muscle/ischemic; < 1 = most chronic liver
  3. bilirubin metabolism pathwayheme → unconjugated bilirubin → UGT1A1 (conjugation) → conjugated bilirubin → MRP2 (canalicular excretion) → bile
  4. Gilbert syndrome~ 5-10% prevalence + UGT1A1 promoter polymorphism + mild unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia + ↑ with fasting/stress/illness + benign, no treatment
  5. Crigler-Najjar Type I vs IIType I severe UGT1A1 deficiency (kernicterus, transplant needed); Type II partial (phenobarbital responsive — induces residual UGT1A1)
  6. Dubin-Johnson vs Rotorboth conjugated hyperbilirubinemia + benign; Dubin-Johnson MRP2 defect + dark liver on biopsy; Rotor OATP1B1/1B3 defect + normal liver
  7. jaundice 3 categoriespre-hepatic (unconjugated — hemolysis, Gilbert) + hepatic (mixed — hepatocellular damage) + post-hepatic / cholestatic (conjugated — extrahepatic obstruction or intrahepatic cholestasis)
  8. cholestatic pattern clinical featuresALP + GGT elevation + direct bilirubin + pruritus (bile acids in skin) + dark urine + pale stool + fat-soluble vitamin malabsorption (ADEK)
  9. acute hepatitis ALT > 1000 differentialdrug (acetaminophen most common) + viral (HAV/HBV/HCV/HEV) + autoimmune (rare this high) + ischemic (“shock liver”) + Wilson fulminant + HSV hepatitis + Budd-Chiari
  10. non-invasive fibrosis assessment 2024FIB-4 score (age + AST + ALT + platelets) for population screening → FibroScan (transient elastography) or MR elastography (most accurate) → biopsy for discordant cases; replacing routine biopsy in many situations
