Study Notes

Pathophysiology Questions

Acute Renal Failure (ARF) Humoral Syndrome: Manifestations include hyperazotemia, hyperhydration, oliguria, hyponatremia, and hyperkalemia in an inadequate phase. Hyponatremia can also occur due to hemodilution.
Diuresis Changes in Hyperglycemia: Osmotic diuresis occurs due to excess glucose in urine. Kidney function is impaired by damage to the glomeruli, reducing blood flow. Changes in sodium and water balance are also impacted.
Urinary Obstruction and Diuresis: Increased pressure, impaired filtration, and backflow of urine characterize alterations in diuresis. Hormonal changes also play a role.
Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) Clinical Syndrome: Manifestations include osteoporosis, iron deficiency anemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and osteodystrophy.
ARF Prerenal Causes: Systemic vasodilation in spinal shock, heart failure, and high catecholamine levels in the blood are all considered prerenal causes of acute renal failure.
Reduced Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): factors impacting GFR include reduced glomerular membrane permeability, fluid retention, and increased accumulation of nitrogenous waste products.
Primary Hypocorticism: Characterized by pathogenetic skin hyperpigmentation related to cortisol; Proopiomelanocortin, MSH, and a rise in ACTH lead to this.
Liver Failure Metabolic Acidosis: Accumulation of beta-hydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetic acid explains metabolic acidosis in liver failure.
Gastric Tone and Motility: Hyperchlorhydria: causes hypotonia and accelerated gastric evacuation. Hypochlorhydria: causes hypertonicity and chymostasis.
Pancreatic Exocrine Deficiency: Maldigestion of polysaccharides, proteins and lipids can impact digestive function.
Hepatocyte Liver Failure Carbohydrate Metabolism: Increased glucose levels after a meal, reduced glucose levels in fasting, fruitsemia, and reduced glycogen storage are all indications of carbohydrate metabolism in hepatocyte liver failure.
Branched and Aromatic Amino Acids in Liver Failure: Increased breakdown of branched amino acids in peripheral tissue and reduced breakdown in the liver of aromatic amino acids are related to liver failure.
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Acid-Base Balance: Metabolic acidosis is caused by increased acetylacetic acid, which is a result of increased ketone body production.
Blood Hormone Concentration and Hypo/Hyperthyroidism: Changes in thyroid-releasing hormone, thyrotropin, and thyroid hormone levels can be indicative of primary or secondary hypothyroidism. Tertiary hypothyroidism presents uniquely elevated thyroid releasing hormone levels, high thyrotropin, and low thyroid hormones.
Body Weight Changes in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Reduced lipogenesis, reduced appetite, and reduced food intake account for the decrease in body weight.
Carbohydrate Metabolism GH Hypersecretion: GH hypersecretion in children results in hyperglycemia due to enhanced glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.
Energy Metabolism in Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism reduces glucose oxidation with heat conservation and reduced basal metabolism.
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) in Hypervolemia: Elevated blood volume decreases GFR due to decreased hydrostatic pressure in glomerular capillaries.
Lipid Metabolism in Hypothyroidism: Reduced lipolysis in hypothyroidism results in decreased free fatty acid in the blood.
Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 Metabolism: Increased lipolysis with increased glycerol and FFA oxidation is observed in this condition. Reduced lipolysis and increased glucocorticosteroids are also implicated.
Protein Metabolism in Type 1 Diabetes: Reduced lypolysis and proteolysis caused by insulin lack, elevated proteolysis, and elevated lypolysis caused by catecholamine deficiency are features.
Hemorrhagic Syndrome in Hepatic Jaundice: Increased conjugated biliary acids in the blood (cholalemia) that bind to Ca2+ and decreased synthesis of coagulation factors in the liver are causes of this condition.
Bile and Jaundice Clinical Presentations: Lack of bile, achromia, and fatty stools are potential manifestations of jaundice in hepatic conditions.
Hypo/Hyperaldosteronism: Manifestations of hypoaldosteronism may include arterial hypotension, hypoosmolarity of urine, and cell dehydration. Hyperaldosteronism is associated with arterial hypertension caused by hypoosmolar dehydration, hyperosmolarity, or excessive aldosterone.
Hypoproteinemia: Changes in diuresis may result from decreased oncotic pressure and increased transcapillary filtration in hypoproteinemia.
Biliary Pigment Metabolism in Haemolytic Jaundice: Increased unconjugated bilirubin in the plasma, as a consequence of increased intravascular and intracellular hemolysis, is implicated in the development of hemorrhagic syndrome.
Secondary Endocrine Disorders: Endocrine disorders may be related to pituitary gland issues (tumor, radiation, surgery, or ischemia). They may be characterized by hyper or hypo secretion.
Tertiary Endocrine Disorders: Disorders primarily affecting the hypothalamus, including issues like tumors, radiation, or surgery.
Hyper/Hypoosmolar/tonic Jaundice: Factors include: impairment of conjugated bilirubin excretion and increased concentration of conjugated bilirubin (cholalemia); and increased water and electrolyte retention due to high aldosterone levels—leading to hyperosmolarity and hypernatremia.
Consequences of Reduced Glomerular Filtration Rate, GFR: Can lead to fluid retention, increased accumulation of waste products, high blood pressure, and various related symptoms.
Manifestations of Hyperaldosteronism: Causes include hypersecretion of aldosterone from glomerular layer in adrenal cortex, causing urine hypoosmolarity, and excessive loss of potassium.
Consequences of Disaccharide Maldigestion: Maldigestion of any sugar, whether in the small intestine or by pancreas, leads to intestinal distension, flatulence, and osmotic diarrhea.
Consequences of Polyuria in Acute Renal Failure: Dehydration and a range of electrolyte imbalances (hyponatremia, hypokalemia) can be symptoms.
Consequences of Proteins Maldigestion: Lack of bile in the gut can lead to malabsorption of proteins and other nutrients, potentially causing significant problems in the body. Deficiencies in digestive enzymes can prevent proteins from being properly broken down, creating imbalances.
Effects of Gastrin Secretion: Increased gastric acid secretion (HCl), increased gastric motility, increased mucosal blood flow, and increased gastric mucosal growth are some possible effects.
Factors Controlling Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): This includes pre-renal (systemic/arterial hypotension, afferent/efferent arteriolar constriction, or renal artery blockage or compression), and intra-renal factors (inflammatory processes, glomerular sclerosis, or reduced blood flow).
Post-Hepatic Jaundice: Features include bile duct obstruction, either by gallstones, tumours in the head of the pancreas, or cholangitis (inflammations in the bile ducts).
Pre-Hepatic Types of Jaundice: Jaundice can be a result of the increased breakdown of red blood cells or the conjugation or breakdown of bilirubin.
Clinical Presentation of Chronic Renal Failure and Electrolyte Imbalances: Manifestations of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and resultant imbalances in fluids and electrolytes (hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, edema) may include fatigue, nausea, edema, changes in skin and eyes, and weakness.
Clinical Presentations of Hepatic Jaundice(pre-hepatic/post-hepatic/intrinsic): Symptoms of jaundice can be similar across types, with yellowing of skin and eyes, and dark urine being key indicators.
Clinical Presentations of Viral Hepatitis: Manifestations include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, and pale stools.
Clinical Presentations of Alcohol-Related Liver Disease: Patients may present with fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, jaundice, or liver-related complications.
