liver failure Flashcards
1
Q
what is the mechanism of congestive heart failure
A
when you have haemorrhage as a result of congestive heart failure there is raised hydrostatic pressure at the venule end of the capillary, hydrostatic pressure opposes oncotic pressure for a longer length along the capillary. more net filtration than normal causing fluid to enter tissues causing oedema
2
Q
what is the mechanism for haemorrhage
A
reduced capillary hydrostatic pressure, capillary hydrostatic pressure opposes oncotic pressure for less time along its length, more fluid movement from interstitial fluid into capillaries for a longer period of time. increasing blood volume at the expense of interstitial fluid
