Hyperlipid, arterio, athero 12/02 Flashcards
What are 3 signs of hyperlipidemia?
Xanthomas, tendinous xanthomas, corneal arcus.
How is called lipid deposits in cornea?
Corneal arcus.
What the most often occurs tendinous xanthomas?
In Achilles.
What the most often occurs xanthomas?
On eyelids. It is called xanthelasma.
What are xanthomas?
Plaques or nodules composed of lipid-laden histiocytes in skin.
In what ages the most often occurs corneal arcus?
In elderly (arcus senilis).
How is described (2) arteriosclerosis?
arterial wall thickening and loss of elasticity.
What arteries are affected by arterioslerosis?
small arteries and arterioles.
What are 2 types of arteriosclersis?
Hyaline and hyperplastic.
What causes (mechanism) hyaline arteriosclerosis? How is seen on microscopy?
Proteins leaking into vessel wall, producing vascular thickening. LM - proteins are seen as hyaline.
What diseases cause hyaline arteriosclerosis?
Long standing benign hypertension and diabetes.
Long standing benign hypertension and diabetes. What vessel disease? Type?
Hyaline arteriosclerosis.
Which vascular disease slowly progresses to chronic renal failure?
Hyaline arteriosclerosis.
What causes (mechanism) hyperplastic arteriosclerosis? How is seen on microscopy?
Thickening of vessel wall by hyperplasia of smooth muscle. LM - ‘‘onion skinning”.
What diseases cause hyperplastic arteriosclerosis?
Malignant hypertension, e.i. SEVERE hypertension.
Which vascular disease cause acute renal failure?
Hyperplastic arteriosclerosis.
What is the result (2) in organs of hyaline and hyperplastic arteriosclerosis?
Reduced vessel caliber with end-organ ischemia.
Reduced vessel caliber with end-organ ischemia. What causes those changes?
Hyaline and hyperplastic arteriosclerosis.
