pathophys Flashcards
- General

- Health and disease
Health vs disease

- health and disease
stages:
1. incubation
2. prodromal - first nonspecific symptoms
3. manifestation - specific symptoms
4. outcome - healing/chronic/death
time course: acute/chronic - 6weeks
classification:
- recurrence, new, etc.
- health and disease
Pathogenesis = mechanism of origin, development and course of disease
- genes
1 single gene:
- cystic fibrosis (AR): CFTR, cl-
- sickle cell (AR): hemoglobin B
- achondroplasia (AD): dwarfism
1 chromosome:
- patau, edward, downs
- klinefelter (47XXY), turner (45XO)
multifactorial: hypertension, alzheimers
- inflammation
macroscopic:
- 5 cardinal signs: redness, swelling, heat, pain, function
microscopic:
- alteration
- excudation
- proliferation - specific/nonspecific granulation tissue (fibroblasts –> fibrotization)
mediators: histamines, cytokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes
course:
- acute: healing with/without defect
- chronic
factors affecting inflammation: circulation, DM, drugs, nutrition
systemic aspects:
- fever, leukocytosis, CRP, fatigue, loss of appetitte
- hypersensitivity, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency
hypersensitivity:
- immediate - allergies –> IgE + basophils
- cytotoxic - autoimmune hemolytic anemia
–> antibody + antigen - immune complex - Arthus reaction
–> antibody + antigen - delayed - MS –> T-cells activated
- autoimmune - myasthenia gravis –> cell signaling
autoimmune:
1. local (organ-specific) - DM1, hashimoto, Crohn´s
2. systemic - scleroderma
immunodeficiency:
1. primary - genetic (B/T-cell deficiency)
2. secondary - acquired
- response to noxas
factors: hypoxia, chemicals, microorganisms,
mechanisms: metabolism, protein synthesis, plasma membrane
general body response:
- CNS + Endocrine system
stress:
- stages:
1. alarm stage: SNS + pituitary gland
2. fight/flight: hypothalamus-hypophysis-adrenal cortex
3. exhaustion: death
stressors: somatic + psychological
effects of catecholamines:
- SNS effects
- cortisol effects
stress-related diseases: hypertension, asthma, ulcers, eczema, DM, fatigue
- fluid + electrolytes
extracellular - 40%, Na+
intracellular - 20%, K+
Na/K ATPase
regulation:
thirst - osmolarity
ADH - kidneys
Na+ balance - RAAS
hypovolemia - RAAS/ADH
hypervolemia - edema
hypernatremia - 145mmol/L
hyponatremia - 135
hyperkalemia - 5.5mmol/L –> heart failure
hypokalemia - 3.5mmol/L
- fluid + electrolytes
- acid base
