Term
what are the two general requirements healthy tissues need
Definition
intact circulation
normal fluid homeostasis
Term
what are what components of fluid homeostasis
Definition
BV (60% water)
BP
vessels in tact
osmolarity/protein levels
clot formation and prevention
Term
what is the general MOA of fluid balance
Definition
fluid moving out of vessel is nearly balanced by fluid coming in normally (some goes into lymphatics)
vascular hydrostatic pressure pushes fluid out and plasma colloid osmotic pressure pulls fluid in
Term
what are the two types of edema fluid and a aka for each
Definition
transudate - hydrostatic
exudate - inflammatory
Term
what dinstinguishes transudate and exudate
Definition
transudate: protein poor SG <1.012
exudate: potein rich SG >1.020
Term
what are the types of edema (4)
Definition
hydrothorax
hydroperitoneum (acetes)
hydroperocardium
anasarca
Term
what is anasarca
Definition
severe edema with subcutaneous swelling
Term
what are the 4 main causes of edema
Definition
increased hydrostatic pressure
reduced plasma oncotic pressure
lymphatic obstruction
water and Na retension
Term
what are 3 causes of increased hydrostatic pressure
Definition
impaired venous return
increased arteriolar dilation
congestive heart failure
Term
what are the two types of edema caused by impaired venous return, what is the cause of each
Definition
local: venous thrombosis in lower extremity
general: congestive heart failure
Term
what causes increased arteriolar dilation (2)
Definition
heat, neurohumoral dysregulation
Term
congestive heart failure venous effect MOA
Definition
pump fails decreasing CO and blood backs up
blood cannot leave lungs or return from body increasing venous pressure and pulmonary hydrostatic pressure
causes central venous pressure increase and systemic generalized edema
Term
congestive heart failure arterial effect MOA
Definition
pump fails decreasing CO so less blood is pumped into arteries
kidney does not see enough blood
RAAS activated: increases Na and water retension, renal vasoconstriction, ADH
congestive heart failure worsens
Term
what are two causes of reduced plasma oncotic pressure, explain each
Definition
nephritic syndrome: increased permeability of glomerular BM

reduced albumin synthesis: chirrhosis, protein malnutrition
Term
what are the two causes of lymphatic obstruction
Definition
filarias parasite wuchereria bancrofti
neoplastic lymphatic obstruction
Term
how does filarias causes edema
Definition
causes inguinal lymph and node fibrosis leading to inflammation blockage and elephantitis
Term
what are two types of neoplastic lymphatic obstructions
Definition
arm edema caused by breast cancer or radiation of axilla

peau d' orange: carcinoma of the breast obstructs superificial lymph causing edema
Term
what are the 6 locations of edema
Definition
subcutaneous
pulmonary
brain
dependent
periorbital
generalized
Term
what are 5 signs of subcutaneous edema
Definition
gross detection
dependent
pitting
impair wound healing
impair clearance of infection
Term
what are 5 signs of pulmonary edema
Definition
fluid in alveolar space
lungs 2-3x normal weight
frothy blood tinged fluid
impaired pulmonary function
impaired CO2/O2 exchange inhibits immune system
Term
what is the main cause of subuctaneous edema
Definition
heart failure
Term
what are 6 causes of pulmonary edema
Definition
left sided heart failure
congestive heart failure
adult respiratory distress syndrome
renal failure
pulmonary infection
hypersensitivity
Term
what are two types of brain edema and their causes
Definition
localized; abscess or around tumor

general: encephalitis/infection, hypertension, trauma
Term
what is a major complication of brain edema
Definition
herniation through foramen magnum causes death
Term
what is dependent edema caused by, how does it present
Definition
congestive heart failure
if standing in legs
if sitting at sacrum
Term
what is the cause of periorbital edema
Definition
initial manifestation of nephrotic syndrome
initial manifestation of general edema
Term
how does general edema present
Definition
effects body equally initially in loose CT (like periorbital)

pitting
Term
what are two causes of generalized edema
Definition
renal dysfunction
nephrotic syndrome
Term
define hyperemia
Definition
active increased inflow of blood to tisue causing redness
Term
define congestion
Definition
passive decrease outflow of blood and edema in a tissue causing cyanosis
Term
where is hyperemia located
Definition
internal (hematoma) or external
Term
what is the seriousness of hyperemia dependent on
Definition
location, size, etc
can be minimal or fatal
Term
what are 4 causes of hyperemia
Definition
trauma
athlerosclerosis
inflammation
erosion by tumor
Term
what are 4 clinical challenges with a hyperemia
Definition
<20% blood loss is ok but more can cause hypovolemic shock

trivial subcutaneous bleeding may be hiding massive brain bleed

external blood loss can cause Fe deficiency (internal Fe is salvaged)
Term
what are the 6 types of hyperemia
Definition
hematoma
petechiae
purpura
ecchymoses
hemopericardium
jaundice
Term
define hematoma
Definition
accumulation of blood in the tissue
Term
what is an example of a hematoma
Definition
dissecting aortic aneurysm casuses retropreotineal hematoma
Term
define petechiae
Definition
1-2mm hemorrhage in skin, mucous membrane, or serosa
Term
what is the cause of petechiae (2)
Definition
increased intravascular pressure, low or defective platelets
Term
define purpura
Definition
>3mm hemorrhages
Term
what are the causes of purpura
Definition
trauma and vasculitis
Term
define ecchymoses
Definition
>1-2cm subcutaneous hematoma
Term
what is the cause of ecchymoses
Definition
trauma
Term
why does ecchymoses change color
Definition
RBC are degraded by macrophages (Hb > bilirubin > hemosiderin)
Term
hemopericardium cause
Definition
crush injury ruptures myocardium or coronary A and blood traps in pericardium
Term
what is complication of hemopericardium
Definition
cardiac tamponade
Term
what causes jaundice
Definition
massive breakdown of RBC releases bilirubin
Term
what are the two sites of congestion
Definition
pulmonary and liver
Term
what are two examples of congestion
Definition
heart failure causing edema and hypoxia
Term
what are the two types of pulmonary congestion, what is the MOA of each
Definition
acute: alveolar capillary congestion causes edema and hemorrhage

chronic: like acute fibrosis
Term
what is the diagnostic sign of chronic pulmonary congestion
Definition
heart failure cells: hemosiderin laden macrophages
Term
what are the two types of congestion in the liver, what is the MOA of each
Definition
acute: congestion of central vein sinusoids
chronic: like acute with necrosis of central liver and fibrosis
Term
what are three diagnostic signs of liver congestion
Definition
nutmeg liver (necrosis)
cardiac cirrhosis
heart failure cells: hemoserdin laden macrophages
