Q

Describe the mechanism of heart failure leading to edema/effusion

A

During heart failure, the heart fails to perfuse the body.

THEN

When the kidneys are underperfused, the kidneys will activate the RAAS system in order to retain water

This leads to the overall increase in dilute water retention –> edema/effusion

Q

Part 1

Why do patients with liver failure get edema?

(specific to a particular protein mechanism)

A

With liver failure, the liver fails to produce normal byproducts.

Liver is responsible for producing ALBUMIN

WIth LESS albumin, means more leaky fluid!

Q

Can you guess what is happening here?

A

Q

Why is neurogenic reflexive vasoconstriction an effective first step in hemostasis?
