factors for hypertension
SNS activation, vasoconstriction, increase Na+ and renin
hypertension mechanism
kidneys in hypertesnion
The resetting of baroreceptors in hypertension does what
; for a given BP there is increased SNS activation
o Alpha 1 receptors; vasoconstrict
o ADH release; water retention
o Renin and AT II release
leukocytes migrate into kidneys and vascular walls; activated by what in hypertension
o Activated by increased extracellular Na+
o Th17 cells and ILC3
2 main causes of secondary hypertesnion
kidneys or SNS
hypertension diagnosis
hypertensive urgency
elevated BP to treat urgently to minimize likelihood of end organ damage (i.e. stroke, IHD)
systolic >180 or diastolic >120
hypertensive emergency
hypertension with signs/symptoms that suggest end organ damage
o i.e. blurry vision, headache, stroke, angina, polyuria
malignant hypertension
> 180/120, end organ damage (hypertensive emergency), fibrinoid necrosis, hyperplastic arteriosclerosis
difference between hypertensive urgency and emergency
urgency has bp of systole >180 or disstole >120 but no end organ damage
emergency has end organ damage
ca2+ channel blocker for hypertension
o Smooth muscle relax and dilate, negative dromotropy and chronotropy
o Could cause heart block or heart failure (from dromo and chrono)
ACE inhibitors for hypertension
AT1 –> AT II inhibited
o Less aldosterone = less Na+
o Increase bradykinin: Vasodilate, NO
angiotensin II (ARB) blockers for hypertension
o Block AT1 receptors = dilate and block aldosterone secretion
alpha receptor blockers block what in hypertension and effect
(NE and E)
o Lower BP and peripheral resistance
o Adverse: reflex tachycardia, postural hypotension
vasculitis
Inflammation and necrosis of blood vessels
primary vasculitis vs secondary vasculitis
what T cells are activated in vasculitis
what type of hypersensitivity reaction is vasculitis
what antibodies are in vasculitis
2 types of ANCAs
o P-ANCA in neutrophil nucleus; bind myeloperoxidase
o C-ANCA in cytoplasm; bind proteinase 3
where are p-ANCA? where do they bind?
P-ANCA in neutrophil nucleus; bind myeloperoxidase
where are c-ANCA? where do they bind?
C-ANCA in cytoplasm; bind proteinase 3
how are neutrophils in vasculitis activated
o Neutrophil activation express myeloperoxiade/proteinase 3 on cytoplasm antibody binds and increase neutrophil and cytokines endothelial damage
