Q

how does heart failure (dec CO and RAAS) cause edema?

A

dec CO > dec BF to kidneys > kidney sense reduction in volume > inc fluid volume through Na and H20 by activating RAAS > inc reabsorption of sodium > water retention > inc hydrostatic pressure

renin production by RAAS > angiotensin converted to angiotensin II > angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction > inc hydrostatic pressure

angiotensin II stimulates secretion of ADH > inc water permeability in CD > inc water retention > inc hydrostatic pressure

Q

describe the hemostatic process (4 steps)

A
  1. primary hemostasis - vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation to form platelet plug at damaged site
  2. secondary hemostasis - coagulation to form fibrin mesh
  3. fibrinolysis - remove platelet/fibrin plug
  4. tissue/vascular repair

Q

list the vitamin k dependent coag factors

A

factors 2, 7, 9, 10

1972

28
Q

define fibrinolysis

A

prevents blood clots from forming pathogenic condition

29
Q

describe the role of plasmin in the fibrinolytic system

A

digests fibrin clots and releases fibrin degradation products
inhibits additional fibrin formation

30
Q

what’s the most important/potent coagulation inhibitor?

A

antithrombin 3 - made by endothelium and hepatocytes

31
Q

what are the 3 major anticoagulant-antithrombotic systems on endothelial cells?

A
  1. protein C-protein S thrombomodulin system
  2. antithrombin III
  3. tissue factor pathway inhbitor
32
Q

list the three hemorrhage descriptive terms

A

petechia
ecchymosis
suffusive

33
Q

define petechia

A

pinpoint hemorrhage
minor vascular damage

34
Q

define ecchymosis

A

more extensive vascular damage than petechia

35
Q

define suffusive

A

larger, contiguous area of tissue hemorrhage damage
paintbrush

40
Q

what does hemorrhage significance depend on?

A

amount, location, rate

large amounts > hypovolemia > decreased tissue perfusion > hypovolemic shock

41
Q

exsanguination is __% of blood loss volume

A

40%

42
Q

in which organs is it worst to have hemorrhage?

A

brain and heart - very little room to expand

43
Q

define thrombus

A

group of platelets, fibrin, and other blood in injured blood vessel

44
Q

physiologic vs persistent thrombus

A

physiologic - normal, rapidly resolves after healing
persistent - forms on wall of injured vessel (blood, lymphatic, or heart)

45
Q

define thromboembolism

A

persistent thrombus that is free in a vessel lumen

46
Q

list major determinants of thrombosis

A

VIRCHOWS TRIAD
*** alterations of endothelium to cause increased production of pro-coag substances

47
Q

describe cardiac and large arterial thrombi

what is it initiated by?

A

firmly attached to vessel wall
lamellated appearance from rapid flow and alternating layers of platelets
tunucia intima is lost/damaged

initiated by endothelial damage

48
Q

ID this pathology

A

cardiac/large arterial thrombi

49
Q

describe venous thrombus

what is it initiated by?

A

dark red, gelatinous since large amount of erythrocytes loosely
incorporated into thrombus from slow BF
most are occlusive

become molded to shape of lumen of vein and grow upstream from site of initiation

initiated by areas of slow blood flow/stasis

50
Q

ID pathology

A

venous thrombus

51
Q

How are small thrombi resolved?

A

removed by thombolysis and BV returns to normal structure and function

52
Q

How larger thrombi resolved?

A

removal of thrombotic debris by phagocytes > granulation tissue formation and fibrosis >regrowth of endothelium over surface of thrombi to incorporate the affected area into the vessel wall

53
Q

How are large mural or occlusive thombi resolved?

A

growth of endothelial-lined blood channels through fibrotic area (recanalization)

54
Q

what type of thrombus resolution is shown here?

A

recanalization

55
Q

where do venous emboli typically lodge?

A

pulmonary circulation
causes R sided HF or infarcts

56
Q

where do arterial thromboemboli lodge?

A

in the tissue that depends on it
ex: saddle thrombus

57
Q

what two main things could occur due to occlusion of a vessel?

A

hypoxia
infarct

58
Q

what’s occurring here?

A

infarct

59
Q

define acute red infarct

A

red, often swollen or slightly raised
cause: hemorrhage

60
Q

define subacute pale infarct and pathogenesis

A

Q

define chronic infarct

A

pale, shrunken, firm, fibrosis

62
Q

describe the concept of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)

A

endothelial damage > microvascular thrombosis > too much clotting and usage of factors > ischemia in one organ/area > lack of clotting factors in rest of body so too much bleeding in other areas

63
