Fat soluble vitamins
A,E,K
Water soluble vitamins
C and B-complex
Vitamin A function
maintains healthy skin and epithelial integrity
Vitamin C function
helps body absorb iron (micromineral)
Vitamin C is required for what?
collagen synthesis
Vitamin K is essential for
blood clotting
a deficiency in Vitamin K can prolong what phase of wound healing?
inflammatory phase (essential for blood clotting)
Vitamin B is required for
normal immune function and energy metabolism
Vitamin B increases wound tensile strength by
facilitating the function of fibroblasts and collagen formation
Which vitamin is an antioxidant that prevents free radical related cellular damage>
Vitamin E
- decreases inflammatory phase, enhances immune function, and decreases platelet adhesions
deficiency in magnesium will lead to
HTN and Vasoconstriction

secondary
low flow/high protein edema is what lymphatic insufficiency?
lymphostatic lymphedema
what is dynamic lymphatic insufficiency?
normal lymphatic vessels overwhelmed by lymphatic load
Bilateral symmetrical increase in adipose tissue deposition is
Lipedema
mild lymphedema is characterized by what circumferential and volumetric measures?
<3cm difference and less than 20% increase in limb volume
moderate lymphedema is characterized by what circumferential and volumetric measures?

> 5 cm difference and >40% increase in limb volume
What is stemmer sign and what makes it positive?
indicates lymphedema - fold of skin pinched and lifted at the base of the second toe + when fold is thicker than 2mm
