Pathologic Condition
Pathologic Condition
A condition where the balance of plasma proteins and water movement is disrupted, leading to fluid buildup in tissues.
Hyperaemia
Hyperaemia
An active process where arterioles widen, increasing blood flow to a specific area. It's often seen in inflammation or exercise.
Congestion
Congestion
A passive process where blood flow out of tissues is impaired, often due to blocked veins, resulting in a buildup of blood.

Study Notes
Impaired Blood Flow and Other Bodily Fluids
- Lecture objectives include describing haemodynamic disorders, thromboembolism, and shock.
- In normal conditions, plasma proteins remain in blood vessels. Little water and electrolyte move into tissues.
- Pathologically, protein should remain in vessels; however, it can leak out. Factors influencing this imbalance include altered endothelial function, increased vascular pressure, and decreased plasma protein content.
- Hyperemia and congestion involve changes in tissue volume but differ in mechanism. Hyperemia is an active process with increased blood flow, frequently occurring during inflammation or exercise. Congestion is a passive process, where venous blood outflow is impaired.
- Edema occurs when fluid moves from blood vessels to interstitial spaces (tissues). Fluids can be protein-poor (transudate) or protein-rich (exudate). Fluid can accumulate in cavities like the thorax, pericardium, or peritoneum (ascites). Severe generalized edema is anasarca.
- Causes of edema include increased hydrostatic pressure, reduced plasma osmotic pressure, lymphatic obstruction, sodium and water retention, and increased vascular permeability.
- Increased hydrostatic pressure occurs due to impaired venous return (deep vein thrombosis, DVT) or generalized pressure (congestive heart failure). Increased arteriolar dilation also contributes.
- Reduced plasma osmotic pressure is linked to reduced protein synthesis (liver disease, malnutrition), or increased protein loss (kidney disease).
- Lymphatic obstruction can lead to localized fluid retention (lymphedema). Causes include infections, radiation therapy complications, and cancer.
- Morphology of edema involves organ enlargement and clearing of extracellular matrix elements microscopically.
- Hemorrhage involves blood extravasation (leakage) from vessels; it can occur in various diseases including trauma, atherosclerosis, thrombocytopenia, or stroke.
- Hemorrhage presentations include hematoma, petechiae, purpura, ecchymoses and various body cavity hemorrhages.
- Hemostasis normally keeps blood fluid and clot-free. Rapidly forming a localized haemostatic plug occurs at injury sites. Pathologically, thrombosis involves blood clots within intact vessels.
- Thrombosis can occur due to endothelial injury, abnormal blood flow, and hypercoagulability (factors that promote clotting).
- Morphology of thrombosis involves arterial or cardiac thrombi (typically from endothelial injury), venous thrombi (usually from stasis/inactivity at vein sites), mural thrombi (in heart chambers/aorta), and vegetations (thrombi in heart valves).
- Thrombus fates can involve propagation, embolisation, dissolution, or organization and recanalization.
- Clinical correlations highlight obstructive or embolic potential of thrombosis involving coronary or cerebral vessels (leading to heart attack/stroke), and venous thrombosis (frequently involving the lungs).
- Embolism involves a solid, liquid, or gaseous mass being carried by blood to a distant site. Common sources include dislodged thrombi, fat, amniotic fluid, or air.
- Types of embolism include pulmonary and systemic, originating from venous or arterial systems respectively. Pulmonary embolism often leads to respiratory distress.
- Consequences of embolism include tissue infarction.
- Infarction involves localized ischemic necrosis due to disrupted blood supply. Artery blockages lead to often artery infarcts, vein blockages cause red infarcts. Infarcts types include red (haemorrhagic/blood) and white (anaemic, limited blood).
- Factors influencing infarct development include vascular supply anatomy, occlusion rate, tissue vulnerability, and hypoxia.
- Shock is the final common pathway for potentially lethal events, including exsanguination, extensive trauma, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, and sepsis.
- Major shock types include cardiogenic (weakened heart pump), hypovolemic (low blood volume), and septic (immune reaction to infection).
- Multiple organ failure is a consequence of blood pressure loss and can be lethal.
