Document Summary
Increase rate and depth of breathing to increased oxygen availability (stimulation of chemoreceptors of the carotid body and aortic arch that signal the brain to increase respiration: hematologic. Increase release of oxygen from hgb (stimulation of receptors on the kidney peritubular cells to increase erythropoietin synthesis and release) White blood cells: 7 questions: know clinical manifestations and abnormal laboratory values expected for, cll, chronic lymphoid, accumulation of b cell types. Increased blood cell breakdown leads to: splenomegaly, hepatomegaly: altered metabolism leads to: weight loss, muscle wasting, anorexia, bone marrow crowding leads to: joint pain. Jaundice: dark urine, clay-colored stools, enlarged liver, fatigue, abdominal pain. Icteric phase 1-2 weeks after prodromal phase, lasts 2-6 weeks: can be superficial or deep, single or multiple, acute or chronic. Inflammation of the bladder most commonly caused by: coli. Inefficiency of defense mechanisms (uromodulin) and virulence of the pathogen. Inadequate tissue perfusion: hypotension, hypovolemia, sepsis, inadequate cardiac output, renal vasoconstriction, renal artery stenosis.
