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
malnutrition MM. Shakweer
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

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

Microcytic anemias
1- Iron deficiency anemia

Extended Modular Program
Macrocytic anemias
MM. Shakweer 15
Extended Modular Program
- 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
MM. Shakweer
Non neoplastic disorders of WBCs
leukopenia/ neutropenia
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
