The pathophysiology of congestoin and oedema Flashcards
congestion
excess blood in vessles of tissues or organs
what is an example of a local acute congestion of things which can causes odema in the legs
dvt,
what is an example of a local chronic congesion
hepatic cirrhosis
what is an example of gererlised acture congesion
congesitive heart failure
what is the effect of a dvt in the lges
blood backs up, thsu reducing oftflow of blood, cuasinga decrease in presure gradien and decreased flow acoss the system leading to ischemia and infraction
what causes hepatic cirrhosis
liver damage, alchol,
what is the effect of the portal vein as a result of hepatic cirrhosis
blocked portal vein, increased portal venous pressure, , atomoses occur
what is the main risk of a hepaic cirrahos
haemorgae
what tpe of tissue forms in hepatic cirrhosis
firbous
what are example of shunt of portal system
oesphageal varices, caput medusae
what is congestive cardiac failure
heart unable to clear blood in the right and left ventricles
why does congestive heart faiule cuaes odema
reduced cardiac output, reduced activtion of raas, increased an and h20 retion , increased body fluid, increased fluid overlad
why does congestive herat failure cause pulmonary odema
blood dams back into the lungsw
why does congestive heart failrue cause veneous congesstion
right heart failure,blooddams back into systemic ciruclaotn, jvp incares, increased hepatomeglay, increaedperipheal odema
