Flashcards
Effect of Venous Congestion on Renal Function
Effect of Venous Congestion on Renal Function
Venous congestion leads to a decrease in renal blood flow and glomerular filtrate.
Pulmonary Congestion from Left-Sided Heart Failure
Pulmonary Congestion from Left-Sided Heart Failure
Left-sided heart failure can cause pulmonary congestion due to a backup of blood in the lungs.
Cyanosis from Venous Congestion
Cyanosis from Venous Congestion
Venous congestion leads to a buildup of deoxygenated blood in the venules, causing a bluish discoloration of the skin called cyanosis.

Study Notes
Effects of Venous Congestion
- Venous congestion decreases renal blood flow and glomerular filtrate.
- Left-sided heart failure can lead to right-sided heart failure, causing venous congestion.
- Venous congestion increases pressure in venules, leading to increased fluid filtration and edema.
Venous Hydrostatic Pressure
- Increased venous hydrostatic pressure is caused by reduced venous return to the heart.
Effects on Water and Salt Retention
- Venous congestion leads to increased water and salt retention due to increased aldosterone secretion.
Causes of Chronic Localized Venous Congestion
- Chronic localized venous congestion is often caused by venous thrombosis or venous obstruction.
