Ødem — causes and mechanism?
Fluid buildup due to pressure, leakage, lymph failure, or low albumin.
Hydrostatic ødem — mechanism?
Increased capillary pressure pushes fluid into tissue.
Inflammatory ødem — cause?
Increased capillary permeability due to injury or histamine.
Lymfatisk ødem — cause?
Impaired lymph drainage prevents protein-rich fluid removal.
Onkotisk ødem — cause?
Low blood protein reduces osmotic water retention.
Venstresidig hjertesvikt — symptom?
Dyspné and lungstuvning due to impaired left ventricular function.
Systolisk hjertesvikt — feature?
Reduced ejection of blood from left ventricle.
Diastolisk hjertesvikt — feature?
Impaired filling of left ventricle.
Lungestuvning — consequence?
Fluid leaks into alveoli, causing dyspné and possible edema.
ACE-hemmere — primary effect?
Reduce angiotensin II and aldosterone, lowering blood pressure.
Angiotensin II — role?
Vasoconstriction and stimulates aldosterone for fluid retention.
Aldosteron — effect?
Increases sodium and water reabsorption in kidneys.
Kronisk hjertesvikt — non-drug treatment?
Patient education, salt/fluid management, monitoring weight.
KOLS — main features?
Chronic bronchitis with mucus, and emphysema with alveolar destruction.
KOLS — chronic bronchitis?
Mucus hypersecretion and airway inflammation.
KOLS — emphysema?
Alveolar wall destruction, reduced recoil, air trapping.
Lungeemboli — cause?
Venous thrombus traveling to pulmonary arteries.
Lungeemboli — treatment?
Anticoagulation, thrombolysis, or thrombectomy if severe.
Prerenal nyresvikt — mechanism?
Reduced renal perfusion decreases filtration rate.
Renal nyresvikt — cause?
Direct damage to kidney tissue impairing function.
