Edema Flashcards
Edema def , pathophysiology
Causes of localized edema
• Venous»_space;> DVT, vascular insufficiency or tumour
• Lymphatic»_space;> lymphedema (tumor or filarial worms)
• Inflammatory»_space;> trauma, infection, thermal injury
• Allergy
Mention causes of edema
A) 个个个 Hydrostatic pressure
• Heart failure (Cardiac edema)
• Renal failure and GN»_space;> retention of water and salts
• Liver cirrhosis»_space;> Salt & water retention
SAL
SAMA
B) JJ L Oncotic pressure (Albumin < 2.5 gm/di)
• & intake»_space;> malnutrition (Nutritional edema)
• & absorption»_space;> malabsorption (GIT edema)
• & synthesis»_space;> liver cell failure (Hepatic edema)
• T loss in kidney»_space;> nephrotic syndrome (Renal edema)
• T loss in GIT»_space;> protein loosing enteropathy (GIT edema)
S
C) 个个个 Capillary permeability
• Allergic»_space;> anaphylaxis + angioedema (Allergic edema)
+perin
• Inflammatory»_space;> Trauma + thermal “burn” + infection “cellulitis”
• 1 histamine, bradykinin and cytokines»_space;> VD
S
D) Lymphatic obstruction»_space;> Lymphedema
• Carcinoma blocking lymphatic drainage
• Filarial worms
Myxedema
• Puffiness of eyelids
• Firm non pitting
Causes of localized edema
• Venous»_space;> DVT, vascular insufficiency or tumour
• Lymphatic»_space;> lymphedema (tumor or filarial worms)
• Inflammatory»_space;> trauma, infection, thermal injury
• Allergy
Mention drugs, causing edema
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Antihypertensive agents
Direct arterial/arteriolar vasodilators
Hydralazine
Clonidine
Methyldopa
Guanethidine
Minoxidil
Calcium channel antagonists
o-Adrenergic antagonists
Thiazolidinediones
Steroid hormones
Glucocorticoids
Anabolic steroids
Estrogens
Compare between cardiac edema, renal edema hepatic edema is the points of comparison or characters and and the area more affected associated with
Causes of non-fitting edema
Lymphedema Miedema
Describe the work for edema
Causes of unilateral idiom
Blood Venus obstruction DVT
Bone trauma
Lymphatic obstruction lymphedema Baker cyst
Skin cell lights
Causes of cardiac causes of ascites precox
Cardiac constructive pericarditis
Pericardial effusion
Tr ts
Localizing factors af cardiac edema
Increased capillary, hydrostatic pressure due to decrease Venus return
Effect of gravity
Causes of localizing factors in hepatic edema
Hepatic lymphrea
Increased portal, capillary hydrostatic pressure
Generalize it anasarca
Lower limb edema
Ascites
Plural effusion
Pericardial effusion
Meigs syndrome
Ovarian rumor
Right sided pleural effusion
Ascites
The hydrostatic pressure within the vascular system and the colloid oncotic
pressure in the interstitial fluid tend to promote movement of fluid from
vascular to the extravascular space.
the colloid oncotic pressure contributed by plasma proteins and the
hydrostatic pressure within the interstitial fluid promote the movement of fluid int
