OUTLINE 01 Edema 05 Thrombosis Hyperemia & 02 06 Embolism Congestion 03 Hemostasis 07 Infarction 04 Hemorrhage 08 Shock 01 Edema Definition | Location | Mechanisms | Localized vs Generalized Morphology | Clinical Complications EDEMA Definition ○ The accumulation of excessive extracellular fluid Location ○ Fluid accumulation in the interstitial space is called oedema ○ Fluid can also collect in the various bodily cavities, e.g. Hydrothorax or pleural eusion, Hydropericardium or pericardial eusion, Peritoneal eusion (ascites) EDEMA Mechanism ○ Edema develops as a result of disturbances in the Starling’s forces: Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure, Reduced plasma oncotic or osmotic pressure, Increased vascular permeability and/or Lymphatic obstruction, Generalized sodium and water retention EDEMA Mechanism ○ Edematous conditions due to increased hydrostatic pressure: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) leading to ipsilateral lower limb edema; Pulmonary and peripheral oedema due to congestive heart failure. EDEMA Mechanism ○ Edema due to reduced plasma oncotic pressure: Protein loss due to nephrotic syndrome, Reduced albumin production due to chronic liver disease and Protein malnutrition. ○ Similar to the previous point, the activation of the RAA system perpetuates the edematous state by causing sodium and water retention. ○ Edema due to increased vascular permeability Due to inflammatory conditions EDEMA Mechanism ○ Lymphatic Obstruction Inflammation, Neoplastic infiltration or Post-surgical/ radiation eect ○ Conditions causing primary salt and water retention: Excessive salt intake in the seing of kidney disease, Aldosterone-producing adrenal cortical tumours Edema Mechanism EDEMA Localized vs Generalized Edema ○ Causes of Localized edema: DVT leading to oedema of the aected lower limb; localized skin infection and inflammation with oedema in the vicinity ○ Causes of Generalized or Systemic edema: Congestive heart failure Hypoproteinemic states (vide supra) EDEMA Morphology ○ Subcutaneous oedema: Typically worse in gravity-dependent areas e.g. around ankles when standing or sacrum, when patient mostly recumbent. Also typically piing in nature. ○ Edema due to hypoproteinemia: Usually more generalized and more pronounced in loose connective tissue e.g. periorbital region ○ Pulmonary edema: Results in heavy congested lungs with frothy blood-stained fluid, when sectioned (at autopsy) ○ Brain edema: may be localized (due to e.g. tumour, abscess) or generalized (due to e.g. encephalitis, hypertensive encephalopathy). The laer manifests as a swollen brain with narrowed sulci and broad gyri. EDEMA Clinical Features ○ Subcutaneous edema: Can impair wound healing and predispose to skin/ soft tissue infections ○ Pulmonary edema Impairs gaseous exchange, and predisposes to respiratory failure or pneumonia ○ Brain edema May lead to raised intracranial pressure and tonsillar herniation that could compress brainstem, thereby compromising the cardio-respiratory centres (coning) 02 Hyperemia & Congestion Definition | Localized vs Generalized |Morphology | Clinical Correlation HYPEREMIA & CONGESTION Definition ○ Hyperemia is due to arteriolar vasodilation resulting in increased blood flow and thence blood volume within the vasculature of the organ. Physiological: increased blood flow to muscles during exercise, or Pathological: increased blood flow to an area of inflammation ○ Congestion 'Passive' in nature Due to venous outflow obstruction resulting in increased blood volume within the vasculature of the organ HYPEREMIA & CONGESTION Localized vs Generalized ○ Localized DVT resulting in congestion and oedema of the aected lower limb ○ Generalized or Systemic Pulmonary and systemic venous congestion due to congestive heart failure HYPEREMIA & CONGESTION Morphology and Clinical Correlations ○ Grossly, congested organs tend to be enlarged, heavy and cyanotic (due to increasing deoxyhaemoglobin); in contrast, ○ Hyperaemic tissue is typically red or erythematousy ○ In the lungs, acute congestion (e.g. due to left-sided heart failure) leads to interstitial vascular congestion, oedema and haemorrhage. ○ With chronicity, alveolar haemosiderophages ('heart failure cells') appear and interstitial fibrosis may set in ('brown induration' of the lungs) HYPEREMIA & CONGESTION Morphology and Clinical Correlations HYPEREMIA & CONGESTION Morphology and Clinical Correlations ○ In the liver, acute congestion (e.g. due to right-sided heart failure) features central vein and sinusoidal dilatation, and centrilobular hepatocytic degeneration. ○ With chronicity, there is a 'nutmeg liver' gross appearance correlating microscopically with centrilobular hepatocytic necrosis/hepatocytic drop-out and haemorrhage with associated haemosiderophages. ○ Fibrosis may set in in the long term ('cardiac cirrhosis'). HYPEREMIA & CONGESTION Morphology and Clinical Correlations ○ In the liver, acute congestion (e.g. due to right-sided heart failure) features central vein and sinusoidal dilatation, and centrilobular hepatocytic degeneration. ○ With chronicity, there is a 'nutmeg liver' gross appearance correlating microscopically with centrilobular hepatocytic necrosis/hepatocytic drop-out and haemorrhage with associated haemosiderophages. ○ Fibrosis may set in in the long term ('cardiac cirrhosis'). 03 Hemostasis Overview of hemostatic response | Role of Platelets Role of Coagulation Cascade | Role of Endothelium HEMOSTASIS Overview of Hemostatic Response ○ Immediate and transient arteriolar vasoconstriction, mediated primarily by endothelin ○ Platelet adhesion, activation and aggregation - primary haemostasis ○ Coagulation cascade activation with formation of thrombin and thereafter fibrin. Polymerized fibrin and platelets aggregates constitute secondary haemostasis ○ Counter-regulatory mechanisms (e.g. via tissue plasminogen activator t-PA) limits the haemostasis to the aected site HEMOSTASIS Role of Platelets ○ Platelets adhere to extracellular matrix e.g. collagen via von Willebrand factor (vWF) ○ Platelet conformational changes encourage fibrin binding and coagulation factor and calcium interactions ○ Platelet release reaction, e.g. ADP and Thromboxane A2 (TxA2)(laer also a vasoconstrictor) ○ Platelet aggregation facilitated by similar factors e.g. ADP, TxA2 ○ Continued platelet activation with Gpllb-Illa receptor changes facilitating fibrinogen binding ○ RBCs and leukocytes also get caught up and contribute to the haemostatic plug HEMOSTASIS Role of Coagulation Cascade ○ Sequential activation of proenzymes to activated enzymes, ultimately to produce fibrin from fibrinogen ○ This takes place on the phospholipid-rich surfaces of activated platelets and endothelial cells ○ 2 arms: Intrinsic pathway, tested by the PTT test and the Extrinsic pathway (set o by the release of tissue factor), tested by PT. ○ Note varied eects of thrombin apart from mediating the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin: anticoagulation, platelet activation, pro-inflammatory activity. HEMOSTASIS Role of Coagulation Cascade ○ Counter-coagulation mechanisms: Localized to sites of exposed phospholipids, Dilution of factors by blood flow, endothelial counter-regulatory mechanism, Fibrinolytic cascade (plasmin breaks down fibrin *; countered by plasmin inhibitor) (*note: fibrin degradation products or D-dimers is a good laboratory marker of thrombosis). HEMOSTASIS Role of Endothelium ○ Intact endothelium is normally inhibitory to platelet activation and coagulation and has fibrinolysis properties. ○ Injury or activation of endothelium leads to promotion of coagulation. ○ Platelet inhibitory eects: Prevents platelet access to ECM; PGI2 and NO inhibits platelets; degradation of ADP via adenosine diphosphatase ○ Anticoagulation eects: Thrombomodulin, proteins C and S, heparin-like surface molecules, tissue factor pathway inhibitor ○ Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) is produced: cleaves plasminogen to plasmin, facilitating fibrinolysis 04 Hemorrhage Types | Causes | Clinical Significance HEMORRHAGE Disorders associated with abnormal bleeding inevitably stem from primary or secondary defects in vessel walls, platelets, or coagulation factors, all of which must function properly to ensure hemostasis Types ○ Can be spontaneous or traumatic ○ Due to abnormalities of platelets, coagulation factors or blood vessel wall HEMORRHAGE Causes ○ Most common causes of mild haemorrhage are: Congenital vWF deficiency, Aspirin use and Renal disease/ uraemia ○ Defects in primary haemostasis: Quantitative or qualitative platelet defects. Manifests as petechiae (1-2 mm in size) or slightly larger purpura in skin, mucous membranes or serosal surfaces HEMORRHAGE Causes ○ Defects in secondary haemostasis: Can be congenital/ genetic or acquired and involve abnormalities in coagulation factors. Manifests as bleeding into joints or soft tissue ○ Generalized defects involving small blood vessels: Most often due to vasculitis or vascular fragility e.g. scurvy, resulting 1-2 cm sized bruises or ecchymoses (if palpable mass - haematoma). HEMORRHAGE Clinical Significance ○ Depends on quantity and rate of blood loss: Loss of up to 20% of blood volume or slow loss, may have less impact. Greater degree of haemorrhage leads to hypovolemic shock ○ Prolonged and slow blood loss can lead to iron deficiency anaemia. ○ Location is important: Skin haemorrhages cause less of an impact. A modest amount of intracranial haemorrhage (with ensuing raised intracranial pressure) or pericardial haemorrhage (causing tamponade) are potentially fatal. 06 Thrombosis Definition | Virchow’s Triad | Causes | Morphology Fates of a Thrombus | Clinical Features Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation THROMBOSIS Definition ○ Inappropriate intravascular blood cloing without preceding significant vascular injury THROMBOSIS Virchow’s Triad ○ Thrombosis occurs due to endothelial injury, alterations in normal blood flow or hypercoagulable state ○ Endothelial injury: e.g. due to atherosclerosis, or other physical or chemical injuries; results in platelets coming into contact with ECM and becoming activated, increased production of procoagulants (e.g. tissue factor) or decreased inhibitors of coagulation (e.g. PGI2) ○ Altered blood flow: stasis or turbulence: stasis e.g. in veins, cardiac or aortic aneurysms, atrium during atrial fibrillation) - disrupts laminar blood flow and allows platelets to come into contact with endothelium; turbulence - generates eddy currents and pockets of stasis, and also injures endothelium, resulting in thrombosis. ○ Hypercoagulable states: Inherited (e.g. Factor V and prothrombin mutations; antithrombin III, proteins C and S deficiency) and acquired causes (oestrogen-containing pills, pregnancy, heparin and its adverse eects on platelets, antiphospholipid antibodies) THROMBOSIS Morphology ○ Venous thrombi (e.g. DVT) occur mostly due to stasis, are occlusive and are dark red in colour ○ Aortic or cardiac thrombi occur often due to endothelial injury and are non-occlusive; smaller arterial thrombi may be occlusive (e.g. coronary thrombosis) ○ Arterial and cardiac thrombi may have alternating light and dark-coloured laminations (lines of Zahn) ○ Valvular thrombi: main types are vegetations of infective endocarditis, nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis and Libman-Sacks endocarditis (due to SLE). THROMBOSIS Fates of Thrombus ○ Propagation ○ Embolization (vide infra) ○ Organization and recanalization ○ Microbial infection leading to septic emboli or mycotic aneurysm THROMBOSIS Clinical Features: Venous, Cardiac, and Arterial Thrombi ○ Thrombi in superficial leg veins predispose to skin infections and venous ulcers; DVT give rise to limb swelling, congestion and pain, but most dangerously, possibility of pulmonary embolization. ○ Clinical states predisposing to DVT: post-major surgery, prolonged bed rest, post-partum state, severe trauma, burns and cancer (with production of pro-coagulants) THROMBOSIS Clinical Features: Venous, Cardiac, and Arterial Thrombi ○ Cardiac thrombosis can occur as a consequence of myocardial infarction because of endothelial injury and abnormality in intracardiac blood flow; mitral valve disease with scarring and stenosis e.g. due to rheumatic heart disease, also may cause atrial dilatation, and with contribution by atrial fibrillation, may lead to stasis and thrombosis within the atrium. THROMBOSIS Clinical Features: Venous, Cardiac, and Arterial Thrombi ○ Arterial thrombosis most often arise as a consequence of atherosclerosis with plaque rupture and ulceration. ○ Cardiac and arterial thrombi can embolize to various arteries causing infarcts in the brain, kidney, spleen etc. THROMBOSIS Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIVC) ○ Formation of widespread fibrin microthrombi in the blood circulation ○ Triggering conditions include obstetric complications, burns, sepsis and advanced malignancy ○ As a result of widespread vascular thrombotic occlusion, ischaemic damage to the heart, lungs, liver, kidney, brain can occur. ○ The consumption of platelets and coagulation factors and the activation of fibrinolysis can lead to the occurrence of uncontrolled bleeding. 07 Embolism Definition | Pulmonary and Systemic Thromboembolism Fat and Bone Marrow Embolism | Air Embolism | Amniotic Fluid Embolism EMBOLISM Definition ○ Intravascular solid, liquid or gaseous material carried by the bloodstream to a site distant from its point of origin. ○ Most common form is thromboembolism; other materials include air bubbles, fat globules, foreign body, tumour fragments, bone marrow, septic/ infective material ○ Causes vascular occlusion where it ultimately lodges resulting in ischaemia or infarction; septic emboli leads to abscess formation. EMBOLISM Pulmonary Thromboembolism ○ Occurs in up to 0.4% of hospitalized patients and accounts for many deaths. ○ Most common origin is DVT; many smaller thrombi/ thromboemboli are silent or asymptomatic ○ Can be single and massive, or showers of smaller emboli. ○ Massive main pulmonary arterial trunk or saddle embolus (siing on bifurcation) results in acute right heart failure and sudden death EMBOLISM Pulmonary Thromboembolism ○ Embolus lodging in small or medium-sized arterial branches give rise to pulmonary haemorrhage or sometimes infarct ○ Multiple of repeated smaller emboli occurring over time can result in widespread occlusion of the pulmonary circulation, with ensuing pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure EMBOLISM Pulmonary Thromboembolism ○ Embolus lodging in small or medium-sized arterial branches give rise to pulmonary haemorrhage or sometimes infarct ○ Multiple of repeated smaller emboli occurring over time can result in widespread occlusion of the pulmonary circulation, with ensuing pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure EMBOLISM Systemic Thromboembolism ○ Common origins for such thromboemboli are the ventricular cavity adjacent to myocardial infarction, from left atrium that is dilated or undergoing fibrillation, vegetations of infective endocarditis and venous thromboemboli crossing from the right heart to the left, via septal defects (paradoxical embolism) ○ Arterial origins of thromboemboli are most often from atheromatous plaques or aortic aneurysms. EMBOLISM Systemic Thromboembolism ○ Outcome of such systemic thromboembolisms depend on degree of collateral blood supply, tissue vulnerability to ischaemia, prior presence of anaemia or heart failure, and calibre of vessel. Critical organ infarcts are the dreaded outcome. ○ Cerebral infarct and lower limb ischaemia and gangrene are the most common aected target sites; embolism to the kidneys, intestines, spleen and upper limbs also occur but are less frequent. EMBOLISM Fat and Marrow Embolism ○ Typically occurs a few days after bone fractures or other musculoskeletal injuries, when bone marrow or fat globules gain access to the bloodstream; often asymptomatic ○ Patients present with petechial haemorrhages, drowsiness, seizures, cough or breathlessness as a result of fat emboli to the skin, brain and lungs; condition may be fatal ○ Released fay acids are toxic to the endothelium, and together with free radicals and chemical mediators released from leukocytes, cause further tissue damage, haemorrhage and oedema; platelet activation and RBC aggregation occur and may form microthrombi EMBOLISM Air Embolism ○ Occurs when air bubbles get access or form in the blood circulation; causes include incidents during head and neck, thoracic or gynaecological surgery ○ Classically occurs as diving accident - decompression disease - when diving in deep waters, air is dissolved in the blood; whereupon on rapid surfacing, air bubbles form in the bloodstream and embolize to the muscles and bone (causing pain - bends), pulmonary circulation (breathlessness, cough - chokes) and cerebral circulation (drowsiness, disorientation - staggers). ○ Caisson disease a rare cause of avascular necrosis of the femoral head due to chronic decompression disease EMBOLISM Amniotic Fluid Embolism ○ Very rare obstetric complication (1:40000 births) where amniotic fluid and its content enters the uterine veins and embolize; very high reported fatality ○ Leads to embolization to the pulmonary circulation and sudden cardiac collapse; if patient survives, diuse alveolar damage and DIVC may develop because of release of injurious fay acids and thrombogenic substances present in the amniotic fluid ○.Autopsy and microscopic examination may show hair, mucin and fetal squames in pulmonary capillaries 08 Infarction Definition | Mechanisms | Morphological Features Factors Aecting the Development of Infarct INFARCTION Definition ○ Infarction is ischaemic necrosis of tissue or organs most often as a result of vascular occlusion Mechanism: Arterial vs Venous Occlusion ○ Arterial occlusion is most often due to thrombosis or thromboembolism, vasospasm or extrinsic compression ○ Venous occlusion resulting in infarct occurs most often when there is only a single venous outflow from the aected organ, when the venous flow is compromised e.g. testicular or ovarian torsion. INFARCTION Morphological Features: Configuration, Color and Sequelae ○ Infarcts are often wedge-shaped with the apex directed at the occluding feeding artery and fanning out at the peripheral aspect ○ Red infarcts are due to haemorrhage in the area Causes of red infarcts include infarcts due to venous occlusion and prior congestion, loosely- textured organs (e.g. lung), organs with dual blood supply (e.g. liver and lung), perfusion being restored at a later time after infarction has occurred. ○ White or bland infarcts typically occur in solid-textured organs e.g. spleen and kidney, with tissue supplied by end arteries/ arterioles with minimal collateral circulation. ○ Coagulative necrosis is typified by myocardial infarct and liquefactive necrosis occurs in brain infarcts. Myocardial infarct heals by fibrous scarring while brain infarct is replaced eventually by gliosis. INFARCTION Factors Aecting the Development of an Infarct ○ Anatomy of arterial blood supply: Organs with dual and overlapping blood supply e.g. lung, liver, and brain regions supplied by circle of Willis, are relatively protected from ischaemia when one route is obstructed. ○ Rate of development of vascular occlusion: A slowly developing occlusion allows time for collateral blood supply to occur, e.g. coronary arterial circulation, and lowering the risk of infarct. In the face of gradually evolving ischaemia, some organs may avoid infarction but may undergo atrophy instead. INFARCTION Factors Aecting the Development of an Infarct ○ Tissue vulnerability: Brain can only tolerate ischaemia for a few minutes, the myocardium for few dozen minutes while fibroblasts can stay alive even after hours of ischaemia ○ Prior hypoxaemia/ hypoxia: E.g. severe anaemia, congestive heart failure, may lead to earlier occurrence of infarct in the face of a partial vascular occlusion 09 Shock Definition | Types | Compensatory Mechanisms Septic Shock | Stages of Shock Eects on Major Organs | Clinical Consequences SHOCK Definition ○ Systemic hypoperfusion and cellular hypoxia as a result of either reduction in cardiac output or eective circulating blood volume. Types ○ Cardiogenic Shock ○ Hypovolemic Shock ○ Septic Shock ○ Anaphylactic Shock ○ Neurogenic Shock SHOCK Types ○ Cardiogenic Shock Common causes include myocardial pump failure due to myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, pericardial tamponade and outflow obstruction due to massive pulmonary thromboembolism ○ Hypovolemic Shock Common causes include severe blood loss due to trauma, marked fluid loss due to vomiting, diarrhoea and extensive burns ○ Septic Shock Due to marked vasodilation and blood pooling ('distributive' shock) as a result of microbial infection and the haemodynamic eects of the inflammatory-immune responses SHOCK Types ○ Anaphylactic Shock Due to severe IgE-mediated allergic reaction ○ Neurogenic Shock Due to central nervous system trauma and ensuing loss of vascular tone SEPTIC SHOCK Background, Pathogenesis and Outcome ○ Major cause of death in intensive care units because of ill and often immunocompromised patients and increasing invasive interventions being performed. ○ Gram positive and negative organisms and fungi are most often responsible ○ Superantigens cause T cell activation and proinflammatory cytokines to be released ○ Initially raised cardiac output, but ultimately systemic vasodilation, endothelial cell activation and hypercoagulable state lead to tissue hypoperfusion and multiorgan damage SEPTIC SHOCK Background, Pathogenesis and Outcome ○ Inflammatory responses, stimulation of leukocytes (macrophages) and release of inflammatory cytokines and other factors; coagulation cascade and complement activation also contribute to the inflammatory state ○ Endothelial cell (EC) activation and injury: increased vascular permeability and oedema. EC also releases NO and other mediators leading to vasodilation ○ Promotion of procoagulant state: EC activation contributes to eventual disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIVC) SEPTIC SHOCK Background, Pathogenesis and Outcome ○ Metabolic abnormalities of insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. Stress hormones e.g. cortisol being released, eventually may culminate in adrenal insuiciency ○ Multiorgan dysfunction / failure occurs: e.g. myocardial contractility can be reduced, and also adult respiratory distress syndrome (shock lung) ○ Mortality rate is quite high at 20% and dependent on extent and virulence of infection, premorbid state of patient, paern and degree of inflammatory-immune response, and timeliness of treatment. SHOCK Compensatory Mechanism ○ Neurohumoral responses: Sympathetic nervous system stimulation and eects of catecholamines, leading to vasoconstriction, increased heart rate and myocardial contractility ○ Other neurohumoral responses: Activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and antidiuretic hormone release, keeping water in the circulatory system ○ Diversion of blood from cutaneous and splanchnic circulations to critical organs (e.g. brain, heart, kidney) ○ Fluid shift to the intravascular compartment Increased haematopoietic (erythrocytic) cell production by the bone marrow SHOCK Stages ○ Non-progressive phase: Compensatory neurohumoral mechanisms (vide supra) maintain perfusion of vital organs ○ Progressive phase: Increasing circulatory and metabolic disturbances arise; lactic acidosis from anaerobic respiration inhibits vasomotor responses resulting in vasodilation ○ Irreversible phase: Multiorgan failure and death is inevitable even though perfusion might be restored by treatment eorts (vide infra) SHOCK Eects on Major Organs ○ Kidney shutdown (renal tubular necrosis) occurs resulting in oligo- or anuria with critical electrolyte abnormalities. ○ Ischaemia of intestines cause the loss of fluids and escape of bacteria into the blood circulation. ○ Myocardial ischaemia and necrosis, reducing cardiac output ○ Liver necrosis ○ Acute respiratory distress syndrome or diuse alveolar damage (shock lung) ○ Brain ischaemia and necrosis SHOCK Clinical Consequences ○ Shock is characterized by tachycardia, tachypnoea and cold and clammy skin; except early septic shock typified by warm and reddish complexion due to cutaneous vasodilation. ○ Major organ dysfunctions as described in preceding section leads to vicious cycle and deterioration of the shock ○ For survivors of initial complications of shock, there could be renal insuiciency with ensuing fluid and electrolyte imbalances. ○ Prognosis of shock depends on type of shock, premorbid status of patient and timeliness of appropriate treatment: hypovolemic shock in the young with aggressive treatment has reasonable survival chances while elderly with cardiogenic or septic shock have much worse prognosis.
