Les états d’œdème Flashcards
What is oedème?
Accumulation anormale/excessive de liquide dans le milieu interstitiel…
eau intravasculaire —> interstitiel
How much liquid needs to have accumulated to be considered an oedème?
2L
What are the two forms of oedème?
Localisé
Généralisé
What are the necessary conditions to lead to the formation of a generalized edema?
- Perturbation of Starling Forces in capillaries which favours accumulation of interstitial fluid
- Rétention anormale hydrosodée par le rein
What are the 2 pathophysiologies that can lead to edema?
Sous and sur-remplissage
What is sous-remplissage?
Due to a “fuite intravasculaire”
What is sur-remplissage?
Overfilling little bucket due to problem with the kidneys
What is the difference when using diuretics in sur vs. sous-remplissage?
Sous-remplissage can be dangerous because there was already a drop in VCE compared to sur-remplissage where there is an already excess liquid intravascularly
What are the 5 things that can perturb Starling Forces?
- Increase in hydrostatic capillary pressure
- Decrease in plasma oncotic pressure
- Increase in capillary permeability
- Lymphatic obstruction
- Increase in interstitial oncotic pressure
Illnesses of which three organs have the ability to provoke an edema?
Heart
Liver
Kidneys
How does left heart failure cause edema?
ventricule défaillant —> dim. débit cardiaque —> activation des barorecepteurs du (VCE) (2) —> rétention hydrosodée par le rein (to aug. VCE) —> aug. volume sanguin —> aug. pression veineuse —> aug. pression veineuse (2) —> oedème (2 —> 1)
pas de sphincter du côté veineux des capillaires —> increase in volume in veins can easily go back to capillaries
How does right heart failure cause edema?
ventricule défaillant —> aug. pression veineuse —> transudation capillaire et rétention hydrosodée par le rein —> oedème (1+2)
What kind of diuretic is used to treat heart failure?
Furozemide (want to target Henle)
How does cirrhosis cause edema?
With heart/kidney insufficiency the abdomen is the last place to fill vs. liver failure the abdomen fills first and then the rest of the body
First it is sur-remplissage which over time becomes sous-remplissage
How does kidney failure cause edema?
incapacité rénale d’uriner le Na+ —> aug. volume plasmatique —> aug. pression hydrostatique capillaire —> oedème
