test 8 Flashcards
increased hydrostatic pressure can be caused by
CHF, portal HTN, renal retention of salt and water, venous thrombosis
hypoalbuminemia and decreased colloid osmotic pressure are caused by
liver disease, nephrotic syndrome, kwashiorkor
lymphatic obstruction (lymphedema) caused by
tumor, surgical removal of lymph nodes, parasitic infestation (filariasis-> elephantiasis)
increased endothelial permeability caused by
inflammation/histamine, type I hypersensitivity runs, drugs
increased interstitial sodium caused by
increase Na+ intake, renal failure, primary hyperaldosteronism
myxedema
specialized form of tissue swelling due to increased extracellular glycosaminoglycans
(from thyroid disease)
anasarca
severe generalized edema
effusion
fluid w/in body cavities (tends to collect into potential spaces; i.e. pleural space)
types of edema fluid
transudate; exudate
transudate
edema w/ low protein content
clear/pale no tissue fragments; thin alkaline low cell count low enzyme count no bacteria
exudate
edema fluid w/ high protein content & cells
cloudy, white, yellow, or red thick; tissue fragments acidic many WBCs and RBCs may have bacteria
types of exudates (4)
purulent (pus)
fibrinous
serous
hemorrhagic (sanguineous)
fibrinous exudate
collagen exudates in body cavities
sanguineous exudate
blood in exudate
purulent (suppurative) exudate
increased art of pus and/or neutrophils; necrotic cells and edematous fluid; i.e. meningitis, cephalitis
serous exudate
thin fluid derived from either serum or secretions of mesothelial cells (effusion)
often combines w/ sanguineous
ascites
gastroenterological term for an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity
condition that leads to ascites
cirrhosis
exudates… pitting or not
no pitting
hyperemia
active increase in the volume of blood in tissues
causes of hyperemia
arteriolar dilation
congestion
passive increase in the volume of blood in tissues; us. accompanied by edema
causes of congestion
impaired venous flow from tissues eg cardiac failure, venous obstruction
complications of congestion
cyanosis/hypoxia
