What is Transudate? Name five main causes?
|
Transudate is transparent!
Transudate is an excess of protein and cell poor fluid in the intrestitual compartment. Causes (everything that reduces albumin because Alb provides 80% of oncotoc pressure) - Malabsorption - Protein poor diet (Kwashiorkor) - Liver dysfunction/cirrhosis - Nephrotic syndrome/protenuria - Increase in total body Na Causes PITTING edema |

|
What is Exudate? Name main causes?
|
Exudate is an excess of protein and cell rich fluid in the intrestitual compartment.
Common cause - peritonitis causes fluid in abdominal cavity. NON-PITTING edema |
|
|
Most common cause of lymphadema
|
Lymphatic channel blockage due to a radical mastectomy (in the US)
|
|
|
Effective arterial blood pressure
|
Refers to the intravascular portion of ECF - correlates directly with ECFV and TBNa status of the individual.
One exception is RHF - where increased hydrostatic pressure leads to fluid redistribution from ECF compartment into the interstitual compartment |
|
|
Name three major roles that ATN II plays
|
- vasocontriction of peripheral resistance arterioles
- aldosterone synthesis stimulation - activation of thirst center in the brain |
