Answer to Question 1

Because of the pancreatitis, he is not producing pancreatic lipase. This is the main enzyme responsible for fat digestion. In its absence, fat will not be digested and steatorrhea will develop. The liver has been affected but not permanently damaged and will repair itself, but it needs a good supply of protein to accomplish this. Since all alcohol is metabolized through the liver, any additional alcohol will cause additional damage.

Answer to Question 2

Elevated CRP indicates inflammation, and if other indicators are present to indicate atherosclerosis, like elevated LDL and total cholesterol along with low HDL, the chances are increased that atherosclerosis has formed in some stage. The higher the CRP, the greater the inflammation. Elevated homocysteine could indicate a risk factor for atherosclerosis.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
