Pathophysiology cellular and organ changes that occur with disease and affect
body function
Patho Greek for suffering or disease
Etiology Cause of disease can include:
biologic, physical, chemical, genetic, nutritional, idiopathic
Categories of etoiology Extrinsic vs. intrinsic
Congenital vs. acquired
Manifestations Changes in life processes that can be observed
Symptoms Subjective can only be reported by the patient
Signs Objective manifestations viewed by the clinician
Pathogenesis Origin of disease
, Acute Comes quick, short pre-clinical
Chronic Long pre-clinical and slow to develop
Subclinical Stays below the radar
Morality Death rate portrayed as a percentage
Morbidity Disability rate
Sequelae Results from disease, direct, predictable effects
Complications Preventable results from disease
Primary prevention actions taken to prevent disease i.e. immunizations
Secondary prevention Trying to catch a disease in the pre-clincal stage i.e. cancer
screening
Tertiary prevention Rehabilitation
Preclinical When changes are happening
Incidence New cases of the disease per year
Prevalence Percent of the population affected by the disease
Cell stress Change in the environment
Atrophy Cells shrink, can still contract
Causes of atrophy Disuse, denervation, lack of endocrine stimulation, decreased
nutrition, lack of blood/oxygen
Hypertrophy Increase in cell size
Physiologic causes of hypertrophy Increased work demands on cells i.e. skeletal muscles lifting
weights
Pathologic causes of hypertrophy Adaptive (myocardial) or compensatory (kidney enlargement
after the other is removed)
Hyperplasia Increase in the number of cells (only possible in cells that
undergo mitosis)
Pathologic hyperplasia Wart or tumor
Physiologic hyperplasia puberty
Metaplasia Change in type of cells caused by irritation i.e. smoking
causes columnar cilia to turn into stratified squamos in trachea
and bronchi
Dysplasia Disorganized cell growth, strong predictor of cancer
