Causes and Effects of marrow FailureElizabeth Makouta K.Assessment 2 Definition of heart Failure This is usually a progressive condition that reflects weakening of the flavor by coronary atherosclerosis intend the coronary vessels is build up with roly-poly clogging (Marieb 2012 p369)The organic structure frames affected are Kidney, Heart, Lungs, and Digestive System.Kidneys constituent is to eliminate nitrogen containing e wastes, toxins, and drug from the dust. Kidney also produce an enzyme renin which help inflect declination pressure, and their hormone erythropoietin which stimulate red declivity cell production in bone marrow (Marieb 2012 p. 512)Hearts function Is a unchewable organ that sums blood to all the tissues in the body through blood vessels, weight less than a pound with the size of a persons fist and a shape like cone-shaped (p 357).The right side pumps blood through the lungs where oxygen is picks up and carbon dioxide is unloaded. The left side of the fondness receives blood containing oxygen and pump it to the rest of the body (Marieb 2012 p 360).Lungs Function Human body contain two lungs. Lungs are large organs that pertain thoracic cavity except the heart in the central area. The left lung has two robes and the right lung has three robes (Marieb 2012 p.441). The lungs bring in oxygen to the body which is the bloodline that we breathed for energy and remove carbon dioxide from the body which is the gas that comes out as waste products (American thoracic Society 2014). .Digestive System Digestive system starts from the mouth and ends up in the anus.

Renin restores normal blood pressure and increase filtration of water and salt for filtration process to be normal (Marieb 20 12 p. 512). But when blood flow to the kidney is limited then renin provide also retain salt and water which will leads to fluid build-up in the body (feet, ankles and legs), (University of California San Francisco 2014)Rapid or irregular heartbeat meaning firm or abnormal heartbeat. This happen because blood supply is insufficient, therefore, the heart will work harder to meet the body requirement (University of California San Francisco 2014)Reduced great power to exercise Because the body feels tired especially the legs and arms as a result of less blood supply to these areas which mean oxygen level in the body is low, you will be less likely to complete the daily activates normally (University of California San Francisco 2014)Persistent cough or wheezing Is a noisy leaden particularly when you breathe in air and out of the lungs (inhalation and exhalation) as a result of fluid build-up in the lugs (Dr. James Krider 2005).Nocturia Is increased need to urinate at night, as a re sult of infection of the bladder, kidney or diabetes. In the case of Mr Alby Wright, he is type two diabetes meaning bladders ability to hold urine has decrease which leads to more urination at night (Better Medicine 20140)Heart Pumps Faster Our body needs blood to function very. collect to this, the heart will work harder than normal to circulate blood throughout the body in other to meet the body requirement (University of California San Francisco 2014)Swelling of your abdomen Swelling of the abdomen occurs as a result of the fluid build-up in the lungs and organs.

The intravenous feeding chambers of the heart also enlarge to be able to hold large volume of blood (University of California San Francisco 2014).Elevated blood pressure Is the meaning or word use to describe hypertension thus the heart has to work harder to pump blood around the body. This happened as the result of cardiac involution or heart failure (Tabbners 5e p 273)Chest Pain Meaning the heart is deprives from getting enough blood. This occurs due to blockage or compress coronary blood vessel (Tabbners 5e p 669)Information taking on his admissionPulse 124SaO2 87% on room air breathing 32Blood Pressure 90/40(Q5) Yes There is too much glucose (sugar) in his blood which is not getting into the cells of the body. Diabetes lead to nerve ruin and poor circulation, looking at his admission form his blood pressure is low, oxygen saturation is also low as a result of bronchial asthma and hypotensive and congestive cardiac failure which means blood is not circulating well through the body system. This indication of slow wound meliorate to extend where his toe was amputated.(Q6) What is the action of laxis This drug is (Diuretic) use to treat acute pulmonary oedema (Kluwer, Williams Wilkins 2008, p. 647)Which body system is affected?
