55 yr old male presents SOB, orthopnea, severe peripheral edema. Hypertension. pitting edema. DD?
MI, CHF, COPD, emphysema.
pitting edema, or subcutaneous edema often points to
cardiac or renal disorders
pulmonary edema often points to
LEFT ventricular failure and is a set up for bacterial infection of lung
nutmeg pattern of congestion in liver usually in
chronic passive congestion of liver
intrinsic pathway of coagulation cascade
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
hemorrhagic infarction of small intestine is usually due to? Presents with?
volvulus. Severe abdominal pain
62 yr old with rheumatic heart disease, onset fever, malaise. Petechiae. Hypertension. Dad died of MI. DD?
heart valve infection(endocarditis), transietn bacteremia, INFARCTION.
25 yr old femaile has menorrhagia. Frequent nose bleeds. Petechiae, purpura over arms/legs. PTT,PTT normal. DD?
coagulopathy, vWF, factor V def
common inherited bleeding disorder usually mild
von willebrand disease
vWF disease often presents with
mild bleeding, menorrhagia or epistaxis
important adhesion molecule between subendothelial collagen and Gp1b
von willebrand factor
26 yr old female has swelling, pain, tenderness beneath R calf. Several Episodes of thrombosis occurred. DD
thrombus, factor V, ATIII, protein C,S
most common inherited cause of hypercoagulation
factor V mut, prothrombin def, inc F8,9,11,fibrinogen
red thrombi which occlude the vessel, occur in low flow. Many RBC. Make break off as emboli.
DVT deep vein thrombosis
