Circulatory Disturbances
(Disturbances of Blood and Body Fluids)

Oedema
• Definition: accumulation of fluids in interstitial tissue,
serous cavities or lung alveoli
osmotic
hydrostatic 4.Lymphatic
1.OP drainage
3.HP

2.OP
Causes of oedema
1.  OP in bl. 2.  OP in 3. HP in bl. 4.Lymphatic 5. Capillary
(albumin) interstitial ts. (CVC)  obstr. Permeabilty
e.g.liver disease,  e.g.heart failure e.g.elephantiasis e.g. acute
glomerulonephritis, inflammation

Types of oedema
A. Localized:
Ex. Acute inflammation especially allergic, lymphatic obstruction as in
elephantiasis
B. Generalized:
1.Cardiac: (rt. Sided HF)Most obvious in feet & dependent areas
2. Renal : glomerular diseases Most obvious in face & eye lids
3. Nutritional:Ptn. intake or absorption /Ptn. Loss
4.Hepatic:Ptn. Synthesis as in cirrhosis  Most obvious as ascites

MM. Shakweer
Thrombosis
Definition: Vital process in which there’s formation of a solid mass
made up of blood elements and fibrin within any part of the CVS

Pathology of RBCs
Anemia

MM. Shakweer
• Def: Reduction of oxygen carrying capacity of
the blood due to?

• 1- Decreased number of RBCs

• 2- Decreased Hb concentration

MM. Shakweer
Fe B12

MM. Shakweer
Mean corpuscular volume
The average volume of a red blood
corpuscle:

To calculate MCV, the hematocrit (Hct)


is divided by the concentration of RBCs
([RBC])

Normally, MCV is expressed in


femtoliters (fL, or 10−15L), and
[RBC] is the quantity expressed in
millions per microliter (106 /
μL). The normal range for MCV
is 80–100 fL.
For example, if the Hct = 42.5%
and [RBC] = 4.58 million per
microliter (4,580,000/μL), then MM. Shakweer
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH)

"mean cell hemoglobin"


(MCH), is the average mass
of hemoglobin (Hb) per red
blood cell (RBC) in a sample
of blood
It is calculated by dividing
the total mass of
hemoglobin by the number
of red blood cells in a
volume of blood.
MCH=(Hb*10)/RBC

- megaloblastic anemia
due to vitamin B12 deficiency
• Causes:
• -Insufficient intake
(dietery deficiency; rare)
• -Decreased absorption:
may be caused by
decreased intrinsic factor
associated with
gastrectomy, pernicious
anemia
• -Intestinal malabsorption
due to parasites (fish
tapeworm), crohn’s disease

Extended Modular Program MM. Shakweer 16


Clinical picture of B12 deficiency

• -Weakness due to anemia (megaloblastic


anemia)
• -Sore (beefy) tongue due to generalized
epithelial atrophy.
• -CNS defects in form of subacute combined
degeneration of spinal cord (SCDSC) with
demylination.

Leukemia
• Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or bone
marrow. Bone marrow produces blood cells.
Leukemia can develop due to a problem with
blood cell production. It usually affects the
leukocytes, or white blood cells

MM. Shakweer
Pathogenesis
• Neoplastic myeloblasts proliferate inside bone
marrow replacing hematopoitic elements
leading to defective production of mature
WBCs, RBCs, and platelets
• CBC: pancytopenia, increased total leukocytic
count formed of malignant myeloblasts

MM. Shakweer
Clinical picture
• Anemia
• Bleeding tendency
• Repeated infections
• Bony aches
