Haemodynamics The principles of blood flow are called haemodynamics
Hyperemia and congestion are the terms used for localised increase inthe volume of blood within the dilated vessels of an organ/tissue
Hyperemia CongestionEg: At sites of inflammation2. In skeletal muscle during exercise3. Blushing flushing of skin of face in response to emotions4. Menopausal flush Increased blood flowEg: 1. systemic in cardiac failure2. Isolated in venous obstruction3. Reduced outflow of blood from a tissue
Hyperemia and congestion
Hydrostatic pressure is increased in both the conditions, hence, hyperemia and congestion are always associated with edema
Edema: Accumalation of fluid in tissuesEffusion: When the serosal surface is involved, fluid may accumalate in the adjacent body cavity as an effusion
Left sided heart failureEtiology Systemic hypertension most common causeIschemic heart diseaseAortic or mitral valve diseasePrimary myocardial disease
Clinical presentations of LHFObstruction to pulmonary vascular outflow leads to pulmonary congestion and edema Reduced renal perfusion leads to - salt and water retention - reduced excretion of waste products - azotemia - ischemic tubular necrosis3. Reduced CNS perfusion causes hypoxic encephalopathy ( irritation to coma)
Clinical presentation of RHFCongestion and edema of portal and dependent peripheral areaEg: feet, ankle and sacrum, effusions in pleura and peritoneumCVC spleenCVC LiverAcute tubular necrosis
CVC LiverEtiology- Right heart failureOcclusion of inferior vena cava and hepatic veinGross Liver enlarged and tender Capsule tense C/S nutmeg appearanceCentral regions of hepatic lobules are grossly red-brown and slightly depressed owing to loss of cells and are accentuated against the sorrounding zones of uncongested tan liver (nut meg liver)
Microscopy Congestion more marked in the centrilobular zone due to severe hypoxia than at peripheral zone. So, fatty change in the hepatocytes Centrilobular hemorrhagic necrosis Long cases fibrosis and regeneration of hepatocytes leading to cardiac cirrhosis
CVC LungEtiology left heart failure in rheumatic mitral stenosisGross Lungs heavy and firm in consistency C/S dark, sometimes rusty brown in color referred to as brown induration of lungs brown induration is due to pigmentation and fibrosis
Histology: Acute pulmonary congestionAlveolar septa widened( due to dilated and congested capillaries)Focal intra-alveolar hemorrhage Alveolar septal edemaChronic pulmonary congestionAlveolar septa thickened increased fibrous tissue rupture of dilated and congested capillariesleads to hemosiderin laden macrophages inalveoli called as heart failure cells
CVC SpleenEtiology Right heart failure Portal hypertension from cirrhosis of liverGross Spleen enlargedOrgan congested, tense and cyanoticC/S grey tan
Microscopy: Red pulp enlargedCongestion and marked sinusoidal dilatationFoci of recent and old hemorrhagesHyperplasia of reticuloendothelial cells in red pulpFibrous thickening of capsule and trabeculaeGamma-gandy bodies / haemosiderofibrotic nodulesAdvanced stage firm spleen hepatic cirrhosis (congestive splenomegaly)
CVC KidneyGross - Kidney enlarged Medulla congestedMicroscopy Degenerative changes in tubulesCloudy swelling, fatty change
1. Active hyperaemia is the result of: A) Dilatation of capillaries B) Dilatation of arterioles C) Venous engorgement D) Lymphatic obstruction
2. Sectioned surface of lung shows brown induration in:Pulmonary embolismPulmonary haemorrhagePulmonary infarctionCVC Lung
MCQ1. Transudate differs from exudate in having the following except:No inflammatory cellsLow glucose contentLow protein contentLow specific gravity
2. The following type of edema is characteristically dependent edema:Nephrotic oedemaNephritic oedemaPulmonary oedemaCardiac oedema
3. Pulmonary oedema appears due to elevated pulmonary hydrostatic pressure when the fluid accumalation is:Two foldFour foldEight foldTen fold
Key for MCQBDDBD
2nd Year Pathology 2010OedemaExtravascular fluid collections can be classified as follows: Exudate: rich in protein and/or cells (grossly cloudy) Transudate: an ultrafiltrate of plasma with little protein and few or no cells (grossly clear)Oedema = increased volume of fluid in interstitial spaceEffusion = increased fluid in a body cavityOedema and effusions have similar pathogenesis
2nd Year Pathology 2010Normal homeostasisMovement of fluid between microcirculation (arterioles, capillaries, veins) and interstitium dependent on intravascular hydrostatic pressureintravascular colloid osmotic pressure
Normally
Net outflow at arteriolar end (hydrostatic > osmotic)No net flow across capillaries (hydrostatic = osmotic)Net inflow at venular end (hydrostatic < osmotic)Any excess interstitial fluid removed by lymphaticsNo net increase in interstitial fluid volume

Inflammation
Protein-poor transudateProtein-rich exudate
Increased hydrostatic pressure Results in increased outflow of fluid
Causes: Impaired venous returnCongestive heart failure / constrictive pericarditis Arteriolar dilatation - heat / neurohumoral dysregulation

2nd Year Pathology 2010 Inflammation
Due to vasodilation and hyperpermeable vesselsvasoactive mediators e.g. Histamine, cytokines e.g. IL-1, TNF
