Hemodynamic Disorders I Flashcards
edema
increased interstitial fluid
anasacara
edema with subQ tissue swelling
fluid in body cavity
hydro-
transudate
protein poor
exudate
protein rich
ascites
liver cirrhosis
-reduced albumin - reduced plasma osmotic pressure
nephrotic syndrome
glomeruli leaky - albumin loss
-lead to edema
sodium and water retention
can cause edema
-kidney disorders
CHF
renal hypoperfusion
-leads to edema
early - RAAS activated with increased ADH - restore renal perfusion
over time - retained fluid causes edema
subQ edema
influenced by gravity - dependent edema
-displaced - pitting edema
can signify underlying cardiac or renal pathology
pulmonary edema
left ventricular failure
hyperemia
active process
-artery dilation - increased blood flow
erythema
tissue turns red
response to hyperemia
congestion
passive process
-reduced outflow of blood from tissue
cyanotic
tissue is reddish blue
response to congestion
-deoxygenated Hg
acute pulmonary congestion
engorged capillaries with edema
chronic pulmonary congestion
septa thickened and fibrotic
-hemosiderin macrophages
heart failure cells
hemosiderin M0s - in chronic pulmonary congestion
acute hepatic congestion
central vein and sinusoids are distended
- centrilobular cells ischemic
- periorbial better oxygenated
chronic passive hepatic congestion
centrilobular red-brown and depressed - nutmeg liver
-hemosiderin M0s
centrilobular area of liver
likely to undergo necrosis
-at edge of blood supply
hemorrhage
extravasation of blood into extravasculature
hematoma
hemorrhage maintained in a tissue
petechiae
1-2mm hemorrhage in skin, mucous membrane, or serosa
purpura
> 3mm hemorrhages in skin, mucous membrane, or serosa
ecchymoses
> 1-2mm subQ hematoma
typical bruise
Hg (red-blue) > bilirubin (blue green) > hemosiderin (gold brown)
thrombosis
clot in intact vessels
site of vascular injury
vasoconstriction - due to endothelin
ECM promotes platelet adherence and activation
platelets aggregate to form plug
primary hemostasis
platelet aggregation forming hemostatic plug
tissue factor
factor III, or thromboplastin
-activates factor VII in extrinsic pathway of coagulation
thrombin
cleaves fibrinogen to fibrin
secondary hemostasis
fibrin and platelets
permanent plug
polymerized fibrin and platelet aggregates
t-PA
limit hemostatic plug at site of injury
antithrombosis of endothelium
adenosin diphosphatase, prostacyclin and NO - antiplatelet
heparin-like mlcs > antithrombin III, thrombomodulin - anticoagulant
t-Pa - fibrinolytic
thrombomodulin
binds thrombin and converts it to anticoagulant
- its ability to activate protein C
- inactivates factors Va and VIIIa
prothrombosis of endothelium
vWF - platelet binding
tissue factor - in response to TNF and IL-1 - extrinsic clotting
PAIs - antifibrinolytic
platelets
shed from megakaryocytes
alpha granules of platelets
P-selectin fibrinogen fibronectin factor V and VIII PF4 PDGF TGF-beta
delta granules of platelets
ADP ATP calcium histamine serotonin epinephrine
**important for coagulation and platelet aggregation
platelet adhesion
vWF > GpIb
bernard soulier syndrome
deficient GpIb
no platelet adhesion to vWF
bleeding disorder
TxA2
vasoconstrictor
also stimulates platelet aggregation
thrombin activity
1 - binds to PAR - activates platelet aggregation
2 - converts fibrinogen to fibrin
fibrinogen
binds to platelet GpIIb-IIIa receptor
-bridging interactions
glanzmann thrombasthenia
deficiency in GpIIb-IIIa receptor
-no fibrinogen bridging of platelets
clopidogrel
block ADP binding
block platelet aggregation
prostacyclin
PGI2
-vasodilator and inhibits platelet aggreagation
aspirin
irreversible COX inhibitor
-blocks synthesis TxA2
used to decreased chance of thrombosis
reactions of coagulation
surface of phospholipid
-held together by Ca2+
coumadin
anti-thrombotic agent
- inhibits binding of coagulation factors
- rxn that requires Vit K normally
blood coagulation converge on
factor V
intrinsic clotting pathway
factor XII
extrinsic clotting pathway
requires exogenous trigger
PT time
assays extrinsic pathway
factors VII, X, II, V, fibrinogen
add TF to citrated plasma
-add calcium - measure time to clot
PTT time
assays intrinsic pathway
factors XII, XI, IX, VIII, X, V, II, fibrinogen
negative charged particle (glass)
-time to clot measured
thrombin proinflammatory
through binding PARs
endogenous anticoagulants
antithrombins
protein C and S
TFPI
plasmin
breaks down fibrin
-releases fibrin split products
fibrinolytic cascade
t-PA
activates plasminogen to plasmin
virchows triad
lead to thrombus
1 - endothelial injury
2 - stasis or turbulent blood flow
3 - hypercoagubility of blood
thrombi in cardiac chambers
often due to endothelial injury
thrombophilia
hypercoagulability
leiden mutation
point mutation in factor V gene
-lead to hypercoagulabiltiy
resistant to cleavage by protein C
prothrombin gene mutation
hypercoagulability
homocystein
prothrombic effects
rare inherited causes of primary hypercoagulability
deficiency in antithrombin III, protein C, protein S
patients under age 50 with thrombosis
need to consider genetic causes
smoking and obesity
hypercoagulability
oral contraceptive
hypercoagulability
heparin induced thrombocytopenia syndrome
administration of unfractionated heparin
-antibodies for heparin and platelet complexes
results in thrombocytopenia
-also - prothrombotic state
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
recurrent thrombosis
repeated miscarriage
valve vegetations
thrombocytopenia
antibodies to plasma proteins
-induce hypercoagulable state
false positive for syphilis**
secondary - to some other disorder
primary - no evidence of autoimmune disorder
growth of thrombi
toward heart
arterial - retrograde
venous - anterograde
lines of zahn
laminations in thrombi
-platelet/fibrin layers and red cell layers
