liver failure

Question 1

what is the mechanism of congestive heart failure

Answer 1

when you have haemorrhage as a result of congestive heart failure there is raised hydrostatic pressure at the venule end of the capillary, hydrostatic pressure opposes oncotic pressure for a longer length along the capillary. more net filtration than normal causing fluid to enter tissues causing oedema

Question 2

what is the mechanism for haemorrhage

Answer 2

reduced capillary hydrostatic pressure, capillary hydrostatic pressure opposes oncotic pressure for less time along its length, more fluid movement from interstitial fluid into capillaries for a longer period of time. increasing blood volume at the expense of interstitial fluid

Question 3

liver failure haemorrhage

Answer 3

liver haemorrhage causes a reduced capillary oncotic pressure. hydrostatic pressure opposes oncotic pressure for a longer length along the capillary, causing increased filtration leading to oedema. more fluid movement from capillaries into interstitial fluid for a longer period of time. this increases the blood volume at the expense of the interstitial fluid.
