BCHM 270 DISEASES TEST QUESTIONS
WITH ANSWERS VERIFIED AND
UPDATED
Steatorrhea - Answer-Biochemistry: Lipid malabsorption due to loss of bile salts or
lipases
Symptoms: Increased presence of lipids in feces
Cystic Fibrosis - Answer-Biochemistry: Loss of pancreatic enzymes due to CF-related
mucosal thickening in the pancreas, which blocks pancreatic ducts and causes poor
digestion. The body has two faulty copies of the cystic fibrosis tramsmembrane
conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. CFTR is a chloride ion channel in the plasma
membrane that is important for the formation of sweat, digestive juices and mucus.
Treatment: Supplementing digestive enzymes and additional vitamins to allow them to
absorb the nutrients
Ketoacidosis - Answer-Biochemistry:Occurs in uncontrolled Type I diabetes mellitus. In
the absence of insulin, fats are released and cannot absorb glucose. The liver
overproduces ketone bodies as a result. These ketone bodies are acidic, which results
in severe metabolic acidosis.
Symptoms: Blood levels of ketone bodies increase. High acetone levels lead to fruity
odor on the breath. Excretion of glucose and ketone bodies in the urine results in
dehydration fo the body. Acidic ketone bodies lower blood pH, which results in coma
and death if untreated.
Hypercholesteremia - Answer-Biochemistry: Body cholesterol increases
Treatment: Statins
Artherosclerosis - Answer-Biochemistry: Oxidized LDL leads to development of
macrophage from fatty cells and fatty plaques
Cholelithiasis / Gallstone Disease - Answer-Biochemistry: Cholesterol forms gallstones
due to insufficient bile salts
Treatment: Surgical removal of the gall bladder or chenodeoxycholic acid supplements
used to dissolve gallstones
Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Type II Hyperlipidemia - Answer-Biochemistry: Lack of LDL receptor or overproduction
of cholesterol leads to cardiovascular disease
Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency
