|
MI, CHF, COPD, emphysema.
|
|
pitting edema, or subcutaneous edema often points to
|
cardiac or renal disorders
|
|

factors 12,11,9,8 (12 IN PTT+3) then 10-5-2-1
|
|
extrinsic pathway of coagulation cascade
|
factors 7 then 10-5-2(thrombin)-1(fibrinogen)
|
|
virchows triad
|
endothelial injury, abnormal blood flow, hypercoagulability leads to thrombosis
|
|
common primary genetic factors that lead to hypercoagulability
|
factor V mut, prothrombin def, inc F8,9,11,fibrinogen
|
|
rare genetic hypercoagulability
|
antithrombin def, protein C,S def, fibrinolysis defects, homozygous homocysteinuria
|
|
acquired high risk for thrombosis
|
prolonged bed rest, MI, atrial fibrillation, tissue injury(surgery,fracture,burn), cancer, prosthetic cardiac valves, heparin induced thombocytopenia
|
|
acquired low risk for thrombosis
|
cardiomyopathy, nephrotic syndrome, hyperestrogen states, oral contraceptives, sickle cell anemia, smoking
|
|
possible outcomes for thrombus
|
propagate, embolize, dissolve, organize/recanalate
|
|
if see hemosiderin-laden macrophages, think
|
heart failure cells
|
|
pitting edema more specifically suggests
|
RIGHT heart failure, sudden death
|
|
where is the area of most injury from deoxygenation in liver?
|
centilobular areas
|
|
cause of hemosiderin laden macrophages and small hemorrhages commonly seen in chronically congested tissue? Stain?
|
capillary rupture in long standing congestion. Prussian blue to stain iron in hemosiderin
|
|
is hyperemia active/passive? Why?
|
active due to increased blood flow commonly from inflammation
|
|
where do arterial or cardiac thrombi usually begin? Venous?
|
at sites of turbulence of endothelial injury. Site of stasis
|
|
which direction do arterial/venous thrombi tend to grow from point of attachment?
|
arterial thrombi grow retrograde, venous extend in direction of bloow flow (both propagate toward heart)
|
|
most common sites of arterial thrombi
|
coronary, cerebral, femoral arteries. Occlusive.
|
|
gelatinous clots with a dark red dependent portion where RBC have settled and a yellow chicken fat upper portion. Firmer
|
postmortem clots
|
|
red, enmeshed red cells clot. Relatively few platelets
|
venous thrombosis(phlebothrombosis)
|
|
venous thrombi can be the source of
|
congestion, edema due to outflow reduction. Cause emboli
|
|
characteristic of true thrombi
|
attached to vascular wall at some point
|
|
may have lines of Zahn visible from layering effect of flowing blood, usually occlusive
|
arterial thrombi
|
|
thrombi composed of infectious agents(fungi, bacteria) present on heart valves
|
vegetations
|
|
when do marrow emboli occur?
|
after fracture of large bones, extensive injury to fatty tissue, or severe burns
|
|
ischemic necrosis of tissue cause by occlusion of an artery or vein
|
infarction
|
|
where do clinically significant infarct occur in?
|
heart,brain, lungs, kidneys
|
|
what do nearly all infarcts occur from?
|
thrombotic, embolic events
|
|
what kind of tissue do red infarcts occur in
|
dual blood supply, with venous occlusions and in loose tissue
|
|
what kind of tissue do white infarcts occur in
|
end arterial circulation in solid organs-limitation to the slow of blood between adjourning capillary circulations
|
|
dominant morphology of infarcts
|
ischemic coagulative necrosis
|
|
major factors that determine cliniical and pathological outcome of an infarction
|
nature of vascular supply, rate of occlusion, tissue resistance to hypoxia, O2 content of blood
|
|
mechanisms of developing red infarcts
|
venous occlusions, loose tissue, dual circulation-blood flow into necrosis, previously congested, flow reestablished of previous occlusion
