What is edema?
|
=The accumulation of fluid within the interstitial spaces.
=”water balance”-can indicate fluid excess or sequestered fluids. |
|
Define mechanism of “forces” causing edema.
|
= (forces favoring fluid movement from the capillaries or lymphatic channels into tissues)
|
|
Name the forces or causes of edema.
|
=increased hydrostatic pressure, lowered plasma oncotic pressure, increased capillary membrane permeability, lymphatic obstruction.
|
|
Describe causes of increased capillary hydrostatic pressure Pc.
|
venous obstruction, salt and water retention (Pc-favoring force, L heart failure, fluid moves across from blood side to interstitial side).
|
|
Name the causes of venous obstruction.
|
=, thrombophlebitis, hepatic obstr, tight clothing, prolonged standing
|
|
Name the causes of salt and water retention
|
=CHF, renal failure (causing vol overload and edema)
|
|
Define decreased capillary oncotic pressure c?
|
lost or diminished plasma albumin production (decreased oncotic attration of fluid within the capillary causes fluid to move into interstitial spaces. ) ie. If this press decreases, more water goes across cell wall
|
|
Name primary causes of decreased capillary oncotic pressure
|
liver disease, protein malnutrition, loss via : glomerular kidney dz, serous drainage via open wounds, hemorrhage, burns (permeability changes), cirrhosis. )
|
|
What causes increased capillary membrane permeability?
|
=inflammation and immune responses, trauma like burns or crushing, neoplastic dx, allergic rxns.
|
|
Describe the mechanism of edema caused by increased capillary membrane permeability.
|
=proteins escape from the vasc bed via loss of capillary oncotic and interstitial fluid protein accumulation.
|
|
Describe lymphatic obstruction edema.
|
Lymphatic system normally absorbs interstitial fluid and sm amnt proteins.
-blocked channesl or surgical removal causes proteins and fluid accumulation in interstitial space. Ie. Wont dreain interstitial compartment, interstitial oncotic pressure increases and pulls fluid=edema |
|
Give examples of mechanisms that cause Lymphatic obstr
|
=lymphedema of arm or leg occurs ater sufg femoval of axil/fem lymph nodes for ca tx
=inflammation or tumors |
|
Clinical manifestations of edema?
|
=localized (site of trauma) or generalized (cerebral, pulmonary, pleural eff, pericardial eff, ascites.
Can have dehydration with edema; it is in the 3rd space and unavail for metabolic processes ie, sequestering with burns reducing plasma vol causing shock. |
|
Sodium, Chloride, and Water balance
|
water follows the osmotic gradients established by changes in salt concentration, therefore, sodium and water balance are intimately related.
|
|
What is water balance primarily regulated by?
|
=ADH, anti-diuretic hormone or vasopressin, and the perception of thirst.
|
|
What is sodium regulated by?
|
Aldosterone
|
|
When is thirst stimulated?
|
=when water loss equals 2% indv body weight, or when there is an increase in osmolality.
|
|
Name three receptors that trigger you to drink fluid.
|
=osmoreceptors (thirst), volume sensitive receptors, and baroreceptors (pressure)
|
|
Define osmoreceptors –
|
=neurons in the hypothalamus which are activated by hyperosmolality and plasma volume depletion causing thirst.
|
|
What causes ADH secretion?
(water balance is controlled by ADH secretion) |
=stimulus for release of ADH is sensed by the hypothalamus.
=1)when plasma osmolality increases (the higher the osmolality, the more nervous system discharges to pituitary to release ADH 2) circ blood vol decreases and bp drops. |
|
When does increased plasma osmolality occur and what does it result in?
|
=occurs with water deficit or sodium excess in relation to water. ,
=results in a fall in extracellular and interstitial fluid vol, stimulating hypothalamic osmoreceptors. |
|
In addition to causing thirst, what do osmoreceptors stimulate?
|
=stimulate the posterior pituitary gland to release ADH to the kidney/
|
|
What is the function of ADH?
|
=increases the permeability of 2 parts of nephron (distal tubule and collecting duct) to water causing water reabsorption (aquaporin flos) into plasma.
|
|
What results in secretion of ADH?
|
=increased urine concentration (>290-300mOsm), decreased plasma osmolality returning it to normal
|
|
What happens if osmolality in blood is dilutes?
|
ADH will not be released (need to rid water) and you need to reabsorb sodium (urine will become dilute (100mOsm)
|
|
Define Baroreceptors.
|
=nerve endings that are sensitive to changes in volume and pressure.
|
|
When do baroreceptors and volume-sensitive receptors kick in and what do they stimulate?
|
=Dehydration from vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating.
=stimulate pituitary to release ADH |
|
Where are the volume receptors located?
|
=r and l atria, thoracic vessels,
|
|
Where are the baroreceptors found?
|
=aorta, pulm a., carotid sinuses
|
|
Name other causes of ADH secretion which promotes reabsorption of water causing restoration of plasma volume.
|
=ABP drop, decreased blood vol,
|
|
What is the functional unit of the Kidney
|
Nephron
?? |
|
what is controled by adh?
|
water balance. adh inserts aquaporins (water out to decrease blood osmolalilty)
ADH r/b pituitary, increases water permeability of distal tubule and collecting duct |
|
describe hypothalmus activity through adh activity
|
-hypothalmus senses thirst mechanism via osmoreceptors
-stim pituitary to secrete adh= released by post pituitary into bloodstream, -goes to kidney, =increased water permeability at collecting duct and distal tubule in the nephron.= -ADH leads to aquaporin insertion and water flow -at these 2 areas back to bloodstream- -urine could reach 1200 mOsm if needed |
|
what else.........
|
-with the presence of adh, you reabsorb water and produce a concentrated urine (greater than in blood (290-300mOsm)
-if osmolality in blood is dilute, adh will not be released (you need to rid water and reabsorb sodium. urine will be dilute (100 mOsm) |
|

|
|
what are the major ions in the ECF
|
-sodium (cation)=90%of cations in ECF
-chloride (anion)=major anion, follows the cation (NA) wherever it goes. |
|
What is NA regulated by?
|
ALdosterone in the adrenals. with low na or high k (countertransported via the na-k pump leading to release of K=
|
|
what are the char of aldosterone?
|
is increased socium reabsorbtion in distal tubule and collecting duct.
|
|
what are the char of aldosterone?
|
-low NA or high K is detected in blood
-adrenals are stimulated to release aldosterone -aldosterone goes to distal and collecting duct to cause.. -increases Na eabsorption (& usually water follows NA) by distal tubule and collecting duct -K+ then gets moved out and into urine decreasing serum k+ -this increases osmolality back to normal |
|
Give example
|
If your blood volume and BP are high, your kidney should be stimulated to get rid of volume. you have to have a mech to lose the sodium and have water follow.
-ie atrial stretcing/high volume -ie. natriuretic hormone (from atrial muscle) promotes NA excretion |
|
List Abnormalities in Tonicity
|
1)Isotonic (no change in cell volume)
2) Hypertonic (cell shrinks) 3)Hypotonic (cell swells) |
|
Describe in detail Isotonic alteration
|
-have to lose equal amnts of solute/Na and water. Mechanism is gain or loss of ECF, so osmolality hasnt changed, volume should not change
|
|
What are the causes of depletion in isotonic alterations?
|
-Hemorrhage
-hypovolemia -Hypovolemic shock =loss of osmolytes and water |
|
What are the causes of Excess in isotonic alterations?
