Hemodynamic DisordersDisturbance in Circulation

Definition of Hemostasis: It is arrest bleeding, either by the physiological

properties of vasoconstriction and coagulation or by surgical means.

Homeostasis: Normal fluid homeostasis encompasses maintenance of vessel

wall integrity as well as intravascular pressure and osmolarity within certain

physiologic ranges.

NB: "The metabolism of organs and cells depends on an intact circulation for

continuous delivery of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, electrolytes, and water;

and for the removal of metabolic waste and carbon dioxide. Delivery and

elimination at the cellular level are controlled by exchanges between the

intravascular space, interstitial space, cellular space, and lymphatic space."

'The survival of cells and tissues is exquisitely dependent on the oxygen

provided in a normal blood supply and therefore on delivery of sufficient

blood through a patent circulatory system.'

“The well-being of tissues requires a normal fluid balance. Abnormalities in

vascular permeability and hemostasis can result in cellular injury even if the

blood supply is intact.”

Changes in vascular volume, pressure, or protein content (or alteration in

endothelial function) affect the net movement of water across the vascular wall

Important Items:i-Distribution of fluid is a carefully controlled homeostatic mechanism.

ii-Deviations from normal may have profound pathological effects.

iii-Normal functions require intact blood and lymph vessels.

iv-Endothelial cells play an important role in hemostasis,

inflammation and healing

1-Capillary bed:- Enormous volume.

- Site where fluid exudes from circulating blood.

2-Endothelial Cells Synthesize and Secrete Glycoproteins:

Functions of endothelial glycoproteins:i-Inhibit clotting. Protect endothelial cells.

NB: When injury occurs to the endothelium; synthesis and release of

glycoproteins impaired which results in problems with hemostasis and fluid

transport.

Mechanisms for substance to transport across capillary endothelium:

1-Direct diffusion: (ions, water and small molecules) Passive

diffusion across vessel wall.

2-Active transport:

2-Active transport:Occurs via special protein-ion pumps embedded in plasma membranes

at cell surface

3-Transcytosis:

4. Expansion of cell junctions:Allows large molecules and excess fluids to pass into the Interstitium.

NB: Movement of substances through junctions and cell membranes is

generally passive in response to concentration and pressure gradients.

3-Precapillary arterioles:-Contain small, innervated myocyte sheaths.

-Contract to control blood flow (regulation of blood flow).

4-Postcapillary Venules:-Sites of fluid exudation.

-Susceptible to some toxins.

5-Capillaries: -Sites of fluid exudation.

NB: There are regional differences in capillary lining dependant on the

structural variation in the vascular wall.

i-Continuous capillary: as in blood-brain barrier restricted transport

-Tight (occluding) intercellular junctions.

-Reinforced by astrocyte foot processes.

ii-Fenestrated capillary as in intestinal villi assists in substantial fluid

transport.

iii-Discontinuous capillary as spleen capillaries where the endothelium

open to passage large molecules.

Example of a disease process:

Elevations of blood pressure results in an increase in passage of

low-molecular proteins into interstitium. This can result in

failure of the normal barrier function of the endothelium.

They have 2 broad headings:

1-Disturbances in the volume of the circulating blood:

These include hyperemia, congestion, hemorrhage, edema,

dehydration and shock.

2-Circulatory disturbances of obstructive nature: These are

thrombosis, embolism, ischemia and infarction.

1-Disturbance in the volume of circulating blood

Hyperemia and Congestion = increased amount of blood in

any portion of the circulatory system.

Active (arterial) Passive (venous congestion)

Physiological Pathological Local General(venous obstruction) (heart or lung failure)

Muscular exercise, Acute inflammation

Lactating udder, (usually local)

GIT after meal,

Pregnant uterus

Active HyperemiaDefinition: It is an increased amount of blood in the arterial side and

capillaries with increased the blood flow. It is usually local and with the

acute inflammation; but rarely general with some systemic generalized

diseases.

NB: Active means change in the muscle tone of the vessels (dilation).

I-Common arterial or active hyperemia is a result of:

-Increasing volume of circulating blood (excess).

-Increasing of amount of erythrocytes.

-Vacatic (vacuum) because of decreased atmospheric pressure.

II-Local arterial hyperemia can be:

-Angioneurotic: because of dilation of arteries and arterioles.

-Collateral: It is seen in case of paralysis of vasoactive nerve or

stimulation of vasodilators and interference with the blood flow

as in case of thrombosis.

-Hyperemia after anemia

-Inflammatory

Types and causes of Active hyperemia:

1-Physiological Hyperemia: it occurs in the active organs such as:

contain several rows of erythrocytes (up to 20 rows).

Passive HyperemiaDefinition: It is an increase in the amount of blood in the venous side of

vascular system generally caused by a decrease outflow with normal or

increase inflow of blood).

Two factors used in defining the types of congestion:

1-Duration: (acute/ chronic)

i-Acute: implies abrupt onset with rapid development.

ii-Chronic: slowly developing and/or present for a long time.

2-Extent: localized/generalized

i-Local: change confined to a discrete area (localized or limited).

It can be a result of:i-Venous obstruction by thrombosis.

ii- Compression of veins by tumor, abscesses, cysts or enlarged Lns

3-Acute Local Venous CongestionDefinition: It is a temporary increase in the amount of blood in the veins of an

organ or portion of an individual.

Causes: sudden obstruction of veins due to the following:

i-Intravenous thrombus.

ii-Sudden pressure on vein as in intestinal torsion.

Chronic Local Venous Congestion (CVC)Definition: It is the increase in the amount of blood in the veins for

a long period of time.

Causes: It is due to pressure on veins which causes obstruction as

tumors, cyst, enlarged Lns.

v-Fatty changes in the hepatic cells of peripheral zones (due to hypoxia).

Cyanotic Induration of the spleenDefinition: It is chronic venous congestion of the spleen, occurs due to

right heart failure and in portal hypertension from cirrhosis of liver. It

is characterized by:

i-The spleen in early stage is moderately enlarged while in long-

standing cases there is progressive enlargement.

ii-It is deeply congested, tense and cyanotic (cyanotic induration

of the spleen). Sectioned surface is gray tan.

iii-The red pulp shows congestion and marked sinusoidal

dilation with areas of recent and old hemorrhages. These

hemorrhages may get organized. This advanced stage seen more

commonly in hepatic cirrhosis is called congestive

splenomegaly.

Outcomes of Congestion:

i-Edema. ii-Stasis.

iii-Hemorrhage. iv-Thrombosis.

v-Induration of organs. vi-Atrophy of organs.

NB: Hypostatic Congestion: It is the gravitation of blood in the

lowermost portion of the body. It is usually caused by cardiac

defect, which fail to maintain sufficient blood pressure to

overcome the force of gravity. It occurs in debilitating and sick

animals and in animals’ short time before and after death or in

recumbent-diseased animals.

Hemorrhage: blood outside the vessel-wall (extravascular).

Hyperemia or congestion: blood inside of the vessel-lumen

(intravascular).

HemorrhageDefinition: It is extravasation of blood from any part of cardiovascular

system.

Mechanisms of hemorrhages:1-By destruction or rupture of the wall of blood vessel or heart (by rhexis).

2-Occurs without any rupture of the vascular wall “intact wall” (by

diapedesis).

Causes of hemorrhage by rhexis: due to:

i-Trauma or cut.

ii-Erosion or ulcer.

iii-Diseases of the wall of blood vessels as aneurysm or tumor.

iv-An increased blood pressure.

Causes of hemorrhage by diapedesis: due to:

i-Bacterial toxins as in anthrax and H.S.

ii-Chemical poisons as phosphorus.

iii-Poisonous plants as sweet clover disease.

iv-Intestinal toxins as enterotoxemia.

v-Deficiency of vitamins C and K.

vi-Defect in coagulation system (thrombocytopenia).

Types of hemorrhages according to the site of origin(by rhexis):

1-Cardiac: as following a penetrating heart wound.

2-Arterial: due to trauma and rupture of a dissecting aneurysm.

3-Capillary: due to trauma, inherent vessel wall weakness, or

coagulation defect

4-Venous: caused by trauma or surgical operation.

Types of hemorrhages according to location:A-Internal hemorrhages: in the body cavities

Hemothorax: hemorrhage in the pleural cavity.Hemopericardium: hemorrhage in the pericardium cavity.Hemoperitoneum: hemorrhage in the abdomen cavity.Hemoarthrosis: hemorrhage in the joint cavity.Hematocele: hemorrhage in the tunica vaginalis of testis.

B-External hemorrhages: may be such as

Epistaxis: hemorrhage from nose

Hemoptysis: hemorrhage from lung.

Hematomesis: indicates hemorrhage from stomach.

Melaena: hemorrhage from intestine.

Metrorrhagia: hemorrhage from uterus.

Types of hemorrhages according to integrity of the blood vessels:i-Hemorrhages by rhexis (rupture of the wall).ii-Hemorrhages by diapedesis (intact wall).

Agonal hemorrhage: It is represented by small hemorrhagic areas on

epicardium and endocardium (Petechiae or ecchymosis) and appeared just

after death due to asphyxia or struggles.

Purpura hemorrhagica: It means extensive hemorrhage with edema, which

are slightly larger than petechiae. It occurs in serous and mucous membranes

as a result of complication of strangles disease in horse due to intoxication

that usually associated with disturbances of clotting mechanism and

extensive endothelial and platelets damages.

Hemophilia: It is hereditary blood disease and is transmitted to males

through female and gives rise to extensive and fatal hemorrhage. It occurs

due to deficiency of coagulation factor VIII.

Types of hemorrhages Pathogenesis In case of

i-Petechial (not more than 1 mm).

ii-Ecchymotic (up to 10 mm).

iii-Suffusion (irregular area of Hgs).

iv-Hematoma (bloody cyst).

v-Linear (zebra-like).

vi-Paint brush (streaks of Hgs.)

By diapedesis (capillary injury).

By diapedesis (capillary,

arteriole and venules injury)

By diapedesis.

By rhexis.

By diapedesis.

By diapedesis.

Septicemic diseases (on mucosa, serosa)

Toxemic and septicemic diseases.

Defect in clotting mechanism

Trauma

Cattle plague

Canine Infectious Hepatitis

Types of hemorrhages according to size and shape:

Macroscopic Pictures:

In early stage:i-The affected organs are swollen, dark-red to purple in color.

ii-The borders of organs become round.

iii-On cut sections, dark red blood runs out.

In late stage:i-The organ is grayish-red to grayish blue in color due to slowing of

the flow of the blood and the increase in CT.

ii-The organ becomes small (decrease in size) due to shrinkage of CT.

iii-The organ is firm and tough in consistency.

Microscopic Pictures:

In early stage:i-Red cells are seen in tissue outside the blood vessels.

ii-The venules and capillaries are filled with venous blood.

In late stage:i-Hemosiderin-laden macrophages (siderocytes) are seen.

ii-Pressure atrophy of the parenchymatous cells.

iii-Proliferation of CT and cholesterol clefts are seen.

iv-The blood decrease in the area.

Fate of extravasated blood:The fate of an area of hemorrhage depends on the amount of blood that

escaped from the vascular system.

I-Small Areas: Small hemorrhage can be resorbed (Resorption).

II-Large Areas:

1-Organization: In generally larger amounts of hemorrhage. The extravasated

erythrocytes are usually breakdown and phagocytized by macrophages. Liberate

hemoglobin (red-blue), which breaks into hem and globins. Hem breaks into

hematoidin (yellow granules) which form the bilirubin (blue-green) and

hemosiderin (golden yellow or brown) that engulfed by macrophages.

2-Encapsulation: In larger areas (Hematoma) they are encapsulated and

organized with some siderocytes.

Significance and effect of hemorrhage:The importance of hemorrhages is varies according to its size and location as

small hemorrhage in brain may lead to paralysis or death. If the cause removed

and stopping of hemorrhage, recovery occur, if persist it lead to death.

NB: Outcomes of hemorrhages:1-Coagulation of the blood.

2-Organization and encapsulation of the hematoma.

3-Brown cystic formation (cerebral hematoma due to accumulation of hemosiderin)

4-Abscess formation of the hematoma by invasion of pyogenic bacteria.

Fluid Disturbances

Edema and DehydrationTotal Body Fluid:

Plasma =5% lean body weight.

Interstitial fluid = 15% ,, ,, ,, .

Intracellular fluid = 40%

Transcellular fluid = 5%

Total body fluid = 65% of lean body weight

Arteriolar Venular

Plasma hydrostatic pressure 30 mm Hg 17 mm Hg

Tissue hydrostatic pressure 8 mm Hg 8 mm Hg

Plasma colloidal osmotic pressure 25 mm Hg 25 mm Hg

Tissue colloidal osmotic pressure 10 mm Hg 10 mm Hg

(30-8) - (25-10) = (17-8) – (25-10) =

Net filtration or absorption* 7 mm Hg -6 mm Hg*

NB: Starling's law:

Under normal conditions, the amount of fluid filtered out the arterial

capillaries roughly equals the fluid returned to the various capillaries.

EdemaDefinition: It is abnormal and excessive accumulation of fluid in the interstitial

tissue spaces and serous cavities. Edema fluid is outside the vascular fluid

compartment and outside the cellular fluid compartment (i.e. within

interstitium). Edema fluid lies free in the interstitial space between the cells

and can be displaced from one place to another. Edema fluid may be:

i-Transudate, which is more often the case such as in edema of

cardiac and renal diseases.

ii-Exudate such as in inflammatory edema.

Differences between transudate and exudate

Criteria TRANSUDATE EXUDATE

Definition Infiltrate of blood plasma without

changes in endothelial permeability

Edema of inflamed tissue associated with

increased vascular permeability.

Character Non inflammatory edema Inflammatory edema

Protein content Low (less than 3 gm/dl): mainly

albumin, low fibrinogen, has no

tendency to coagulate

High (more than 3 gm/dl), readily

coagulates due to high content of

fibrinogen and other coagulation factors

Cells Few cells, mainly mesothelial cells

and cellular debris

Many cells (inflammatory as well as

parenchymal)

Examples Edema in congestive cardiac failure Purulent exudates such as pus

Causes :Four mechanisms that underlie the development of edema:

1-Increase intravascular hydrostatic pressure: It is associated

increased blood volume in the microvasculature such as

venous congestion due to heart diseases, thrombosis and

aneurysm or with active hyperemia in acute inflammation.

2-Increase microvascular permeability: It is associated with

the inflammation and occurred due to bacteria and their

toxins and snake venom lead to leakage of plasma fluid and

edema.

3-Decrease plasma colloidal osmotic pressure (intravascular):

It results from decrease plasma proteins mainly albumin, as in

case of intestinal parasitic infestation, malnutrition and

kidney diseases are the common causes of edema.

4-Lymphatic obstruction (lymphogenic edema): It occurs in

case of tumor, abscess and intravascular parasites (filaria)

lead to accumulation of edematous fluid.

Macroscopic Pictures:i-The affected organs are swollen, pale and heavy.

ii-Soft or doughy in consistency.

iii-The cut surface is wet and fluid weeps from it.

iv-Edema fluid may yellow (horse and cattle) and gelatinous (inflammatory).

v-In lung: the edema fluid is frothy in air passages.

Microscopic Pictures:i-Tissue spaces are distended by pale eosinophilic fluid.

ii-Congestion of blood vessels may occur.

iii-Lymphatics are dilated.

iv-Collagen bundles of interstitial stroma are widely separated by an

increase in intercellular fluid.

Types of Edema: according to presence or absence of inflammation.

1-Inflammatory Edema.

2-Non-inflammatory Edema.

Inflammatory Edema (Local)Mechanism: Increased vascular permeability and endothelial damage.

Fluid characteristics: rich in protein (exudate).

-High concentration of protein >30gm/L

-Specific gravity is >1.01725

-Total nucleated cell count > 7.0 x 109 /L

Macroscopic Pictures: is due to acute inflammation.

i-The affected tissue is red, hot, swollen and painful.

ii-Not pit under pressure due to presence of fibrin.

iii-On cut section, bloody fluid oozed.

iv-The nature of the fluid is exudate.

Microscopic Pictures:

i-Congestion of the blood vessels.

ii-Presence of eosinophilic fluid containing fibrin, RBCs and leukocytes.Non-inflammatory Edema (Local and General)

Mechanism: It is a result of

i-Increase in intravascular hydrostatic pressure (venous obstruction).

ii-Decrease of colloid osmotic pressure of the plasma (hypoalbuminemia).

iii-Impairment in the flow of lymph (lymphatic obstruction).

iv-Renal retention of salt and water.

Fluid characteristics: poor in protein (transudate).

-Low protein content <30gm/L

-Specific gravity below 1.017

-Total nucleated cell count < 1.5 x 109 /L

Macroscopic Pictures:

i-The affected tissue is cold, pale, swollen and not painful.

ii-Pit under pressure and gravitate.

iii-The cut surface is wet and straw yellow fluid oozed

iv-The nature of the fluid is transudate.

Types of edema: according to propagation:1-Local Edema.

2-General Edema.

Local Edema

i-Inflammatory edema:Edema is a cardinal sign of inflammation. It is caused by increased

capillary permeability and hydrostatic pressure due to release of

chemical mediators.

ii-Allergic edema:It is caused by increased capillary permeability and hydrostatic pressure

due to release of vasoactive substances as histamine.

iii-Edema of venous obstruction:When complete obstruction of vein was seen as in case of thrombosis lead

to severe edema and hemorrhage resulted from increased hydrostatic

pressure at venous side. When venous drainage is partially impaired,

edema is less severe.

iv-Edema of lymphatic obstruction:It is caused by lymphatic damage by surgery, neoplasm, abscess and

intravascular parasites.

General edema1-Cardiac Edema:It means not edema in the heart but it is caused by impaired cardiac

function leading to general venous congestion increased

hydrostatic pressure general edema

2-Edema of hypoproteinemia: It caused by decreased plasma

osmotic pressure and includes

A-Renal Edema:

It means not edema in the kidneys but the cause of edema is

nephritis, which leads albuminuria decrease the colloidal

osmotic pressure general edema.

B-Parasitic Edema:

The intestinal and gastric worms take the dietary protein

hypoproteinemia leads to decrease the COP general edema.

War or Starvation Edema:

due to dietary protein deficiency (malnutrition edema)

hypoproteinemia leads to decrease the COP

general edema

Hydropericardium: It is edema in pericardial sac.

Hydrothorax: It is edema in thoracic cavity.

Hydrocephalus: It is edema in brain.

Anasarca: It is generalized edema prominent in subcutaneous tissue and body cavities

Hydrocele: It means edema in tunica vaginalis.

Ascites: It means edema in abdominal cavity.

Sequelae of Edema:

i-If the cause is removed; recovery occur.

ii-Pressure atrophy of the parenchymal cells.

iii-The transudate is suitable media for bacterial growth.

iv-Inability of vital organs to function (brain, heart and lung).

DehydrationDefinition: It is deficiency of water resulting from imbalance between the

uptake and loss of water from the body. It is opposite of edema.

Causes:i-Uncontrolled diarrhea. ii-Renal failure.

iii-Diabetes. iv-Heat-stroke.

v-Water deprivation.

Mechanism: A decrease in the total body water results in water deficit shared

among plasma, intracellular, and interstitial fluid compartments.

Hypovolemic shock accompanies severe dehydration as plasma

water is drawn into the interstitium. Renal perfusion is reduced.

Pathological Findings:

i-Folds of skin pulled out from the body hesitate before returning

to their normal position, "tenting”

ii-Eyes are sunken.

iii-Mucous membranes and subcutaneous tissues are dry and sticky

ShockDefinition: It is a clinical state of cardiovascular collapse characterized by:

1-An acute reduction of effective circulating blood volume.

2-An inadequate perfusion of cells and tissues.Three General Categories of Shock According to Etiology and Pathogenesis:

1- Hypovolemic 2- Cardiogenic 3-Blood Mal-distribution

NB: Neurogenic and Anaphylactic shock both result in widespread

vasodilation.

Hypovolemic Shock:

It is results from decreased circulating blood volume, can be due to

blood loss from hemorrhage or fluid loss secondary to vomiting,

diarrhea or burns.

Cardiogenic Shock:

It is results from failure of the heart to adequately pump blood. It

can occur due to myocardial infarction, ventricular tachycardia,

arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, or an obstruction of the flow of

blood from the heart. The stroke volume and cardiac output is

decreased.

Blood Maldistribution:

It is characterized by a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance

and resultant pooling of blood in peripheral tissues. Caused by

neural or cytokine induced vasodilation. Trauma, emotional stress,

systemic hypersensitivity to allergens, or endotoxemia can cause

blood maldistribution as in case of:

i-Anaphylactic Shock: generalized type I hypersensitivity.

ii-Neurogenic Shock:

iii-Septic Shock:

Pathogenesis of Septic Shock:i-Results from spread and expansion of an initially localized infection

ii-Most cases are from endotoxin-producing gram-negative bacilli

endotoxic shock.

iii-LPS binds as a complex with a circulating blood protein to

leukocytes, endothelial cells, and other cells.

iv-LPS-binding protein complex can activate vascular wall cells and

leukocytes or initiate a cascade of cytokine mediators.

v-LPS can activate complement.

vi-High levels of LPS:-Cytokine-induced secondary effectors (NO and PAF) become significant.

-Systemic effects of TNF and IL-1 fever, increase synthesis of acute

phase reactants.

-Causes endothelial cell injury triggers coagulation cascade.

vii-Super-high levels of LPS Septic shock.

Stages of shock: There are 3 stages.

1-Initial nonprogressive (compensated reversible) stage: In the early stage of

shock, an attempt is made to maintain adequate cerebral and coronary

blood supply by redistribution of blood. This is achieved by activation of

various neurohormonal mechanisms causing widespread vasoconstriction

and by fluid conservation by the kidney

2-Progressive (decompensated) stage: This is a stage when the patient

suffers from some other stress or risk factors besides persistence of the shock

so that there is progressive deterioration

3-Irreversible (decompensated) stage: When the shock is so severe that in

spite of compensatory mechanisms and despite therapy and control of etiologic

agent, which caused the shock, no recovery takes place it is called

decompensated or irreversible shock.

Pathognomonic Lesions: Pulmonary edema: (cattle/horses).

Liver Congestion: (dogs).

Kidneys: Acute tubular necrosis.

Heart: Subendocardial hemorrhage and necrosis.

Brain: Neuronal cell death.

Adrenal glands:

Cortical cell lipid depletion.

Degranulation of adrenalin-producing cells.

Hemorrhagic with foci of necrosis".

Gastrointestinal tract: hyperemia of mucosa with erosions

Skeletal muscle: Pallor (peripheral vasoconstriction).

II-Circulatory disturbances of obstructive nature

Hemostasis and ThrombosisHemostasis: (stasis=stop): It is arrest bleeding. Physiologic response to vascular

damage and provides a mechanism to seal an injured vessels to prevent the blood loss.

Thrombosis can be considered an inappropriate activation of normal hemostatic

processes.

There are 3 general components required for hemostasis and thrombosis:1-Vascular wall (endothelial cells).

2-Platelets.

3-Coagulation cascade.

Normal Hemostasis

Sequence of events following vascular injury:1-Arteriolar vasoconstriction (transient effect):

i-Reflex neurogenic mechanism.

ii-Local secretion of endothelin.

2-Primary hemostasis (platelet):

- Damage to the endothelium exposes platelets to the subendothelial

extracellular matrix

i-Then the Platelets adhere to the ECM and become activated (Activation):i-Shape Change.

ii-Release granules.

iii-Recruit other platelets to the site (Aggregation).

ii-Form a Hemostatic plug:

3-Secondary Hemostasis (Coagulation):a-Tissue factor, a membrane-bound procoagulant factor synthesized by

endothelium is exposed at the site of injury. It acts in conjunction with

the material secreted by platelets to activate the coagulation cascade.

b-Phospholipid complex expression.

c-Thrombin activation: Formation of thrombin induces more platelet

recruitment and granule release.

d-Fibrin Polymerization resulting in local fibrin admixed

with platelets form plug to prevent further hemorrhage.

4-Antithrombotic Counter-Regulation:

-Release of components to limit the size of hemostatic plug.

Vascular Repair: 1-Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) stimulates smooth

muscle and fibroblasts proliferation.

2-Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF).

3-Transforming Growth Factor (TFG) modulates vascular repair.

Platelets:1-Play a central role in normal hemostasis.

2-Circulate as round, smooth discs with glycoprotein receptors derived

from megakaryocytes.

3-Major role is to form the initial plug that covers and seals a small

damaged area.

4-Contain two types of granules:

A-Alpha granules: P-selectin on membrane

i-Fibrinogen. ii-Fibronectin.

iii-Coagulation factors V and VIII. iv-Platelet factor 4.

v-Platelet derived growth factor. vi-Transforming growth

factor.

B-Dense granules (delta granules):

i-ADP and ATP: ADP mediates platelet aggregation and

activation.

ii-Ionized calcium. iii-Histamine.

iv-Serotonin. v-Epinephrine.

Platelet Response: Vascular injury exposes Extracellular Matrix (ECM).

i-Normally hidden by intact endothelium.

ii-Composed of -Collagen, proteoglycans, fibronectin, and other materials.

Platelets + ECM 3 reactions

i-Adhesion and shape change:

Mediated via interactions with vWF that acts as bridge for platelets

and ECM.

ii-Secretion: (release reaction) of both granule types.

-Release of dense granules is very important because calcium is

required for coagulation cascade (Needed binding site for

calcium and coagulation factors).

-ADP is a very important mediator of platelet aggregation.

-Leads to surface expression of a phospholipid complex.

iii-Aggregation:

-Thromboxane A2 (TxA2) secreted by platelets and induces

vasoconstriction and necessary for platelet aggregation.

-ADP + TxA2 start reaction leads to

1-Enlarging platelet aggregation = hemostatic plug (primary).

2-Activates coagulation generated thrombin

increasing aggregation.

3-Platelet contraction fused mass of platelets, fibrin

formed cements mass = hemostatic plug (secondary).

Coagulation Cascade: It is the formation of fibrin: initiated when activated factor X (Xa)

cleaves the circulating protein prothrombin into two fragments. The

active fragment is thrombin, a proteolytic enzyme that converts

plasma fibrinogen to fibrin. The generation of thrombin is probably

the most important factor in the progression and stabilization of the

thrombus. Thrombin can be generated at the site of injury by either

the intrinsic or extrinsic coagulation pathway.

INTRINSIC PATHWAY: Although all factors of the intrinsic system

are present in normal plasma. The cascade is activated by contact with

subendothelial collagen which activate factor XII (Hagman factor). The

latter activates XI which activates IX activates X which converts

the prothrombin into thrombin.

EXTRINSIC PATHWAY: Cell surface protein, termed tissue factor,

(Factor III= tissue thromboplastin). Interaction with circulating factor

VII initiates the extrinsic pathway in the presence of calcium leading to

activation of factor X which converts prothrombin into thrombin that

converts fibrinogen to fibrin.

NB: Platelet phospholipid becomes available on platelet surfaces during

platelet activation.

Anticoagulant mechanisms:The anticoagulation mechanism is depending on the following:

i-Removal of clotting factors by continuous blood flow.

ii-The liver and mononuclear cells (phagocytic cells) clear of activated

clotting factors.

iii-Antithrombin III in the presence of heparin inactivates thrombin.

iv-Dissolution of clots by fibrinolytic system.

Coagulation Disorders: In general, large hematomas suggest a coagulation

disorders whereas chronic bleeding from a mucosal surface may indicate a platelet

deficiency or abnormality.

Inherited Deficiencies of Coagulation: as in hemophilia.Acquired Deficiencies of Coagulation:

i-Accompany many severe diseases.

1-Transitory depression of factors.

2-Excessive utilization or consumption of factors

ii-Acquired disorders may general or specific:

-Severe trauma or deep burns. -Snake venoms and plant toxins.

-Vitamin K deficiency (required for factors II, VII, IX, X and proteins C and S).

iii-Liver failure:

-Site of synthesis of many coagulation factors.

-Acute destruction of hepatocytes may result in bleeding tendencies.

ThrombosisDefinition: It is the formation of a solid mass from the elements of circulating blood

within the vascular system (thrombus) during life of the patient.

Thrombus: It is intravital, intravascular clot of all blood elements and in continuation

of tunica intima of the vessel lining.

PATHOGENESIS (Causes): 3 primary influences (Virchow’s triad).

1-Endothelial injury:Dominant influence = can lead to thrombosis by itself

eg: inflammation of heart valves

Expose of subendothelial ECM platelet adherence release of tissue factor

Depletion of prostacyclin primary and secondary hemostatic plug formation.

It is produced by the following causes:i-Bacteria, toxins or chemicals

ii-Diseases of the wall of blood vessels (atheroma, arteriosclerosis and

parasites as Strongylus valgaris larvae).

iii-Pressure from out side by ligature or tumor.

2-Slowing of Blood Stream: turbulence or stasis.

Normal laminar blood flow (cellular elements in the middle, surrounded by plasma).

Disrupt normal laminar flow:

i-allows platelets to contact endothelium.

ii-prevents dilution of activated clotting factors by fresh-flowing blood.

iii-allows the build up of thrombi (slows the inflow of anticoagulants).

iv-promotes endothelial cell activation.

Causes:-It is seen in aneurysms, cardiac anomalies and venous stasis.

-Hypercoaguability: any alterations of the coagulation pathways that

predisposes to slow the blood flow and thrombosis.

3-Alterations in Blood Composition:Increased in blood elements (increased fibrinogen levels and platelets number)

leading to increase viscosity. It is the most important factors in venous

thrombus. Presence of abnormal structures as i-Heart worm (D. immitis)

ii-Clumps of bacteria in the blood.

iii-Fragments of heart-valve thrombus circulating in the blood

Classification of the thrombi

I-According to vascular involvement:i-Cardiac thrombi: it may be

-Mural thrombi on the wall of the heart.

-Valvular thrombi: attach to the valves.

ii-Arterial thrombi: mostly seen in case of parasitic thrombus caused

by larvae of Strongylus valgaris.

iii-Venous thrombi: are more frequent in human than animals.

iv-Capillary thrombi: are usually associated with inflammation.

v-Lymphatic thrombi: occur in lymph vessels draining area of

inflammation.

NB: The predominant constituent of thrombi is platelets.

Arterial thrombi are attached and grow away from the heart.

Venous thrombi are attached and grow in the direction of the blood flow (to

the heart).

Capillary thrombi are not true (false) and consist of agglutinated erythrocytes.

II-According to location within the heart or blood vessels:

1-Mural thrombi: are attached to the heart wall.

2- Valvular thrombi: are attached to the heart valves.

3-Lateral thrombi: are attached to one side of a vessel wall.

4-Occluding thrombi: are attached to the entire endothelium of the vessel.

5-Saddle thrombi: occlude just at the bifurcation of the blood vessels.

6-Canalized thrombi: result from partial repair of the clot with

formation of a new blood canal.

7-Obturating thrombi: the clotting process continues in the part of

thrombus which is distal to its area of attachment without any further

connection to the wall. The free end then trails downstream with

current and may attain surprising length.

III-According to the infection:

1-Septic thrombi: contain bacteria

2-Aseptic thrombi: do not contain bacteria or parasites

3-Parasitic thrombi: contain parasites.

IV-According to color of thrombi:

1-White or Pale Thrombus: is gray white, small and firmly attached to

the intima. It is composed predominantly of platelets and fibrin. It is

observed when the blood stream is rapid or fast (arterial).

2-Red Thrombus: it is composed of platelets, fibrin, large numbers of

erythrocytes and leukocytes. It is formed when the blood stream is slow

(venous).

3-Mixed Thrombus: it is composed of alternating layer of pale and red

thrombi.

4-Laminated Thrombus: it is a type of mixed thrombus composed of

alternating layers of white and red constituents. It is a result of variations in

rapidity of blood stream.

Arterial and venous thrombi differ in appearance:

Arterial: Generally due to endothelial injury, initial thrombus is composed

of aggregated platelets and fibrin. It is soft, friable and white. As arterial

thrombi grow, flow patterns adjacent to the thrombi cause fibrin to be

deposited and the platelet mass that persists that is transformed into a fibrin mass.

Fibrin strands polymerize between the separating and degenerating platelets. The

alternating lines of yellow platelets and fibrin separating RBC’s form the Lines of

Zahn.

Venous: A venous thrombi is composed of platelets and fibrin strands with

entrapped RBC's, since the dominant mechanism of formation is coagulation.

Postmortem clotting of blood:The postmortem clot occurs after death due to release of thromboplastin from damaged

endothelium by lack of oxygen.

There are two types of postmortem clots.

1-Red or current jelly clot: It occurs when there is a rapid clotting of the

blood. The blood components are evenly distributed throughout the clot.

2-Yellow or chicken fat clot: The ventral portion of the clot is red and contains

erythrocytes, while the dorsal portion is composed of fibrin and serum. The

erythrocytes sedimentation to form red zone is due to prolonged coagulation

time or increased sedimentation rate.

NB: Hyaline thrombus: It consists of platelets, destructed erythrocytes, leukocytes and

precipitating plasma proteins. They do not contain fibrin. They resemble hyaline and

are located in the microcirculatory bed.

Agonal thrombus: It consists of the yellowish fibrin and localizes in the apex of the

right ventricle of the heart and may extend into pulmonary artery. It is formed in the

last minutes of the life when the death occurs slowly.

NB: Red clot forms in case of the rapid death.

Macroscopic Pictures:i-The thrombi tend to be irregular in shape, friable with dull roughened

surface.

ii-The color usually is a mixture of red and gray or has have a laminated

structure in irregular layers or lines of Zahn which contain alternating pale

lines (composed of platelets and fibrin) and darker strips of (predominantly

red blood cells).

iii-Thrombi may vary in size from microscopic (such as fibrin thrombi

plugging capillaries) to thrombi that occupy large portions of the aorta or fill

a cardiac chamber.

iv-At least one side attached to the wall of blood vessel.

Microscopic Pictures:-It composed of blood elements along with fibrin. Platelets are difficult to

be observed, except perhaps at the points of attachment.

Effect of thrombosis:

i-Beneficial effects: Thrombosis of injured vessels assists in control of

hemorrhage.

ii-Negligible effects: when the thrombi are present in blood vessels

which are not required. Blood vessels in most organs are very abundant

and form anastomosing circulation which accommodates the needs of

tissue.

iii-Harmful effect: Thrombosis of major blood vessels in areas with

insufficient collateral circulation that in vital organs as brain and heart.

Fate of thrombi1-Lysis: Lysis of the thrombus is due to potent thrombolytic/fibrinolytic

activity of blood (plasmin, which activated by factor VII).

2-Contraction: The first alteration occurring in thrombi, containing fibrin,

is decrease in size due to contraction of fibrin.

3-Liquefaction: It occurs under the effect of autolytic leukocytic enzymes.

4-Abscessation: when pyogenic bacteria are present.

NB: Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)

It is the widespread development of small fibrin thrombi in the microcirculation throughout the body with

simultaneous reduction of blood coagulability and hemorrhages. It occurs with infectious disease,

immunologic injury and snakebite, which lead to diffuse endothelial injury.

In animals, it is usually observed with severe burn, extensive trauma and in severe systemic infection as

canine hepatitis, blue tongue and hog cholera. It has 3 stages:

i-At the first stage: it is characterized by generalized increase of blood coagulation in

the microvessels. Large number of fibrin clots is formed. They close the vessel

(fibrinoembolism).

ii-At the second stage: the amount of thrombocytes, fibrinogen, prothrombin in the

blood decreases sharply because they have already been used at the first stage with the

resultant consumption coagulopathy. Thus, hemorrhagic syndrome develops.

iii-At the third stage: fibrinolysis activation takes place in response to generalized

increase of coagulation occurring at the first stage, which makes hemorrhagic

syndrome more severe.

5-Organization: The presence of a thrombus stimulates reaction which will result in

inflammation and fibrosis. Smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts will proliferate and

invade. The thrombus will become firm and gray-white

6-Recanalization: occurs by invasion of thrombus mass by newly formed capillaries

and allows blood flow the damaged vasculature.

7-Mineralization: of degenerated and necrotic thrombi usually occurs.

8-Embolization: Some time fragment of thrombus is detached and carried in the circulation.

EmbolismDefinition: It is the process of moving of solid, liquid, gaseous foreign body

through the circulatory system.

Embolus: It is a foreign body circulating in the blood.

Causes and Types of Emboli:

A-Solid Emboli:

1-Detached thrombi (Thromboemboli):

2-Bacterial emboli: 3-Parasitic emboli:

4-Tumor cell emboli: 5-Foreign bodies emboli:

B-Liquid Emboli:1-Fat-droplet emboli: It is a droplet of endogenous fat that have entered

the circulation. A fracture of bone is the most common cause.

2-Amniotic emboli:

3-Spodogenous emboli: occur due incompatible blood transfusion.

C-Gaseous Emboli: It is due to

i-Decompression Sickness: It is seen following a rapid change in

atmospheric pressure in deep-sea divers and in construction workers

emerging from underwater compartments (Caisson disease or gas

embolism). ii-Air Emboli: may cause bubbles in the blood that may coalesce and

obstruct the flow of blood causing infarction. It may occur when

traumatic or surgical wounds rupture large blood vessels.

Significance and Results:The results of embolism depend up on the following factors:

1-Nature of embolism:i-Septic emboli leads to pyemia with multiple abscesses formation.

ii-Aseptic emboli leads to ischemia and infarction.

iii-Neoplastic emboli produce secondary tumor.

2-Size of embolus:i-Small could induce partial arrest of blood supply and local anemia

or ischemia.

ii-Large could induce complete obstruction and infarction.

3-Number of emboli:More number of emboli in circulation led to greater blood vessel

obstruction and infarctions.

4-Blood vessel involved: The occlusion of blood vessel depends on the efficient collateral

circulation or not:

i-If efficient collateral circulation: little damage.

ii-If not efficient collateral circulation: serous damage and cause

sudden death.

InfarctionDefinition of infarct: It is an area of ischemic necrosis caused by complete

occlusion of either the arterial supply (end artery) or occasionally its venous

drainage in a particular tissue. The process of development of this lesion is

known as infarction.

NB: the end artery means that artery has few collateral branches and

anastomosis such as coronary arteries of the heart, afferent artery of

glomeruli, splenic artery, central artery of retina and artery supplying

the basal ganglia and surface of brain.

Classification of infarct:

A-According to color:

1-Red (Hemorrhagic) infarct: It filled with blood and

characterized by coagulation necrosis and erythrocytes from adjacent

arteries and veins. It occurs with venous occlusions or within loose tissue

that allow blood to collect in the infarct area or in organs with double

blood supply (lung and liver) or extensive collateral circulation (small

intestine).

2-Pale (white) infarct: It lacks blood, also called anemic infarct. It

usually has a red zone at periphery (line of defense). It occurs with

arterial occlusions in solid organs (heart and kidney).

B-According to infection: i-Septic infarcts: When the necrotic tissue of an infarct is invaded by

pyogenic bacteria. The tissue becomes a good growth medium for these

pathogenic organisms

ii-Aseptic infarct: Most infarcts are sterile (no bacteria).

Pathogenesis: 1-Immediately after obstruction of the artery by thrombus or embolus, the

area supplied by this vessel is deprived of blood from its normal source.

2-The blood from adjacent arteries is forced to ischemic area through the

anastomosing capillaries.

3-The capillaries become dilated and engorged with blood to maintain the

need of the affected area.

4-The affected area becomes redder in color than the surrounding tissue

and this is known as “red or hemorrhagic infarct”.

5-The blood circulation in the infarct area is stagnant and the blood

becomes deficient in oxygen and contains excessive waste products because

the blood pressure is not great enough to force all this blood out of the

involved area leads to injury of capillary endothelium and

parenchyma of the area giving rise to hemorrhage, edema and necrosis.

6-The area undergo coagulative necrosis and the erythrocytes become

hemolysed and the hemoglobin derivatives are removed and the area

becomes pale instead of red. This is known as “pale or white infarct”

which appears after 48-72 hrs.

7-The dead tissue produces toxic substances which induce inflammatory

reaction in surrounding tissue.

8-This inflammatory zone is characterized by dilated capillaries, fibrin

network and leukocytes infiltration.

9-Later on, the infracted area undergoes autolysis and disappears and

replaced by CT.

Macroscopic Pictures:i-Wedge or cone-shaped: the base of the wedge is at periphery and

the apex is at the point of obstruction.

ii-The color is differs from red to pale or white. The infarcts usually

red in the first and then become pale except in the brain it is usually

pale. The infarct of intestine lungs and liver is usually red.

iii-The infarct is swollen in the early stage and shrinkage below the

surface with red margin.

iv-The red is soft in consistency and the pale becomes firm or hard.

Microscopic Pictures:i-Infarcts appear as triangular areas of coagulative necrosis.

ii-An infarct is separated from the rest tissue by an inflammatory zone

(line of defense)

iii-This inflammatory zone consists of dilated capillaries, fibrin and

leukocytes.

iv-In red infarct: The inflammatory zone is not clear.

Hemorrhage by diapedesis and dilated capillaries.

v-In pale infarct: The inflammatory zone is clear.

The RBCs in the red infarct is instead of leukocytes.

Sequelae of infarction:i-The infarct area losses their function of affected area.

ii-Infarcts arising from septic emboli or that invaded by pyogenic

bacteria may convert to an abscess.

iii-Autolysis of the necrotic tissue and absorbed or become encapsulated.

iv-Organization by fibrous CT proliferation.

v-Deaths may resulted from:

-Brain infarct.

-Moist gangrene by invasion of saprophytic bacteria as in

intestine.

-Acute anemia due to extensive blood loss.
