Pathophysiology Case Study

Paper Summary:

In the paper, different clinical signs and symptoms are analyzed (as much as possible) according to onset, location, duration, character, aggravation, relieving factors and treatment measures already tried. The normal and abnormal physiology as seen in a clinical context are discussed and correlated with other symptoms.

From the Paper:

"Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg and above and a diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg and above. It is a result of salt sensitivity, which interacts with the rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis, resulting in a net increase in peripheral arterial pressure. Some individuals may be salt-sensitive or rennin-sensitive. Hypelipidemia is a condition where total cholesterol and its fractions exceeds 200 mg/dL. This is often the result of the accumulation of "unused calories," mostly from excess carbohydrates such as sugars and fatty foods in the diet. This is compounded by a sedentary lifestyle and other factors such as heredity and diabetes mellitus."
