Acute Pancreatitis
This type of HTN is characterized by:
- When we know the cause, i.e. renal, endocrine, ETOH, Drugs, Pregnancy, Acute stress
Secondary HTN

Low: Hypoglycemia
Also called flapping tremor, is a clinical sign indicating the inability to maintain a sustained posture of muscle contraction, resulting in brief, irregular lapses during a sustained posture.
Asterixis
Type of pancreatitis that is characterized by the development of irreversible changes in the pancreas, secondary to chronic inflammation i.e. ETOH, smoking and genetic predisposition
Chronic Pancreatitis
This type of HTN is characterized by:
- All cases with unknown causes
- accounts for 90-95% of all HTN cases
- Several Genetic and environmental factors that are both modifiable and non-modifiable
Primary (essential) HTN
What are the terms for high and low hemoglobin counts?
High: Polycythemia
Low: Anemia
What is hemoglobin A1C and what do each of these Hemoglobin A1C ranges indicate?
1. 4–5.6% of total hemoglobin (Hgb)
2. 5.7-6.4% of total Hgb
3. 6.5% or higher of total Hgb
Hemoglobin A1C = the % of glycated Hgb in the blood.
1. Normal
2. Pre-diabetes
3. Diabetes
A condition where fluid builds up in the abdomen, usually due to high pressure in the liver's veins or low albumin levels in the blood.
Ascites
Type of acute pancreatitis that is local, but systematic complications and organ failure are absent.
Mild acute pancreatitis
This type of lymphedema is characterized by:
- 10% of all cases
- Congenital malformation or impairment of lymphatic system
- LE affected most often

An abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they shouldor do not die when they should, can be malignant or metastatic. These occur in the liver.
Neoplasms
Type of acute pancreatitis where there are local complications with or without organ failure for less than 48 hours.
Moderately severe acute pancreatitis
This type of lymphedema is characterized by:
- Acquired due to disruption of or damage to lymphatics
- Much more common
- Filariasis (parasitic infection), Cancer treatment, chronic venous insufficiency
Secondary Lymphedema

2. The type of feedback loop that amplifies a change, pushing a system further away from its equilibrium state.
1. Negative feedback loop
2. Positive feedback loop
Type of acute pancreatitis where there is persistent organ failure for more than 48 hours with the involvement of one or more organs
Severe acute pancreatitis
A pt had a tumor removed, what type of lymphedema is this?
Secondary Lymphedema

Low: Hypokalemia
What word is used to describe an abnormally low pH, and therefore high C02 in the body?
