INTRODUCTION
A Healthy body is the most important thing that you should maintain. You cannot
buy your health; you must earn it through healthy living. There are some people who
cannot live normal because of having unexpected circumstances in life.
Congestive Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any
structural or functional cardiac disorder that leads to an impaired ventricular filling or
incomplete ejection of blood.Almost half of the patients, 48%, 10, 008 males and 50.1%,
11, 036 females were in the 40-59 years age bracket. This update was last 2014. Both
diseases are major and growing public health problems because aging of the population
contributes to the increasing incidence of those diseases. The relationship between
these diseases worsens their prognoses. More than 40% of Heart Failure patients have
Chronic Kidney Disease.
The person we’ve met in Metro South Medical Center last October 7, 2017
named X.F is diagnosed with a chronic kidney Disease to consider Congestive Heart
Failure secondary to Type II Diabetes Mellitus. We chose this case because this is one
of the topic that we’ve been discussed earlier in our Major subject in Medical Surgical 1,
also this is very interesting for us to know and to be more knowledgeable about this
case.
II. BIOGRAPHICAL DATA
NAME OF PATIENT: XF
GENDER: Male
STATUS: Married
On the interview, patient X.F stated that all the vaccines are completed, he
already had chickenpox, mumps and never been hospitalized but he told us that he had
maintenance before for his diabetes.
Patient X.F, a 55 years old patient was admitted to Metro South Medical Center
on October 7, 2017, diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease to consider Congestive
Heart Failure. The day prior to admission patient X.F experienced non-productive
cough, fever and Bipedal edema for a month, and also increased of abdominal girth for
a week. Upon consultation the patient complaints abdominal pain cramping with pain
scale of 8 out of 10.

Analysis
Upon assessment, the family of patient X.F has different complications. His
father died 13 years ago due to stroke, his mother is still alive but she has diabetes.
Patient X.F has 5 siblings, he is the eldest. He got his diabetes to his mother and Heart
Failure to his father. His second brother died last year because of Heart Failure like his
father. His third brother had undergone operation of gallstones. His fourth brother also
has diabetes, his fifth brother has arthritis and his youngest sister had undergone
operation of Breast Cancer.
Patient X.F has two years gap to his wife. His wife has Hypertension and her
right eye has stigmatism. They have two children; the elder is a Girl 31 years old, has
asthma and had undergone operation of gallstones and the youngest is a boy, 30 years
old and doesn’t have any disease.
Patient X.F’s family has many health complications that can be a hereditary or
can get from lifestyle or other risk factor. All they have to do is to take care of their
health and avoid any stimulations of a complication just like DM where a person having
a possibility of getting it needs to avoid eating too much sweet.
V. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Blood is made up of liquid (called plasma) and solid cells. Blood cells are made in the
bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft, spongy substance in the centre of bones.
It is made up of cellular elements and an extracellular matrix. The cellular elements—
referred to as the formed elements—include red blood cells (RBCs), white blood
cells (WBCs), and cell fragments called platelets. The extracellular matrix,
called plasma, makes blood unique among connective tissues because it is fluid. This
fluid, which is mostly water, perpetually suspends the formed elements and enables
them to circulate throughout the body within the cardiovascular system.
The main function of blood is to carry nutrients, gases, waste products, cells and
hormones. Each type of blood cell has a specific job.Red blood cells carry oxygen from
the lungs to the rest of the body. They also carry carbon dioxide from the body to the
lungs so it can be breathed out.Platelets form blood clots in damaged vessels to stop
bleeding.White blood cells help prevent and fight infection by destroying bacteria,
viruses and other foreign cells or substances.
Human erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) are the
primary cellular component of blood. They are involved in
oxygen transport through the body and have features that
distinguish them from every other type of human cell.
Adult humans have roughly 20-30 trillion RBCs at any
given time, comprising approximately one quarter of the
total number of human cells.
Hemoglobin is a large molecule made up of proteins and iron and contains a binding
site for the transport of oxygen and other molecules. It consists of four folded chains of
a protein called globin, designated alpha 1 and 2, and beta 1 and 2 Each of these
globin molecules is bound to a red pigment molecule called heme, which contains an
ion of iron. Each iron ion in the heme can bind to one oxygen molecule; therefore, each
hemoglobin molecule can transport four oxygen molecules. In the lungs, hemoglobin
picks up oxygen, which binds to the iron ions, forming oxyhemoglobin. The bright red,
oxygenated hemoglobin travels to the body tissues, where it releases some of the
oxygen molecules, becoming darker red deoxyhemoglobin, sometimes referred to as
reduced hemoglobin. Oxygen release depends on the need for oxygen in the
surrounding tissues, so hemoglobin rarely if ever leaves all of its oxygen
behind. Changes in the levels of RBCs can have significant effects on the body’s ability
to effectively deliver oxygen to the tissues. Ineffective hematopoiesis results in
insufficient numbers of RBCs and results in one of several forms of anemia.
The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a closed fist that functions as the body’s
circulatory pump. It takes in deoxygenated blood through the veins and delivers it to the
lungs for oxygenation before pumping it into the various arteries (which provide oxygen
and nutrients to body tissues by transporting the blood throughout the body). The heart
is located in the thoracic cavity medial to the lungs and posterior to the sternum.
The heart sits within a fluid-filled cavity called the pericardial cavity. The walls and lining
of the pericardial cavity are a special membrane known as the pericardium. Pericardium
is a type of serous membrane that produces serous fluid to lubricate the heart and
prevent friction between the ever beating heart and its surrounding organs. The
pericardium has 2 layers—a visceral layer that covers the outside of the heart and a
parietal layer that forms a sac around the outside of the pericardial cavity.
The heart contains 4 chambers: the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left
ventricle. The atria are smaller than the ventricles and have thinner, less muscular
walls than the ventricles. The atria act as receiving chambers for blood, so they are
connected to the veins that carry blood to the heart. The ventricles are the larger,
stronger pumping chambers that send blood out of the heart. The ventricles are
connected to the arteries that carry blood away from the heart.
The heart functions by pumping blood both to the lungs and to the systems of the body.
To prevent blood from flowing backwards or “regurgitating” back into the heart, a system
of one-way valves are present in the heart. The heart valves can be broken down into
two types: atrioventricular and semilunar valves. The atrioventricular (AV) valves are
located in the middle of the heart between the atria and ventricles and only allow blood
to flow from the atria into the ventricles. The AV valve on the right side of the heart is
called the tricuspid valve because it is made of three cusps (flaps) that separate to
allow blood to pass through and connect to block regurgitation of blood. The AV valve
on the left side of the heart is called the mitral valve or the bicuspid valve because it
has two cusps. The AV valves are attached on the ventricular side to tough strings
called chordae tendineae. The chordae tendineae pull on the AV valves to keep them
from folding backwards and allowing blood to regurgitate past them. . The semilunar
valve on the right side of the heart is the pulmonary valve, so named because it
prevents the backflow of blood from the pulmonary trunk into the right ventricle. The
semilunar valve on the left side of the heart is the aortic valve, named for the fact that it
prevents the aorta from regurgitating blood back into the left ventricle. The semilunar
valves are smaller than the AV valves and do not have chordatendonae to hold them in
place. Instead, the cusps of the semilunar valves are cup shaped to catch regurgitating
blood and use the blood’s pressure to snap shut.
The conduction system starts with the pacemaker of the heart—a small bundle of cells
known as the sinoatrial (SA) node. The SA node is located in the wall of the right atrium
inferior to the superior vena cava. The SA node is responsible for setting the pace of
the heart as a whole and directly signals the atria to contract. The signal from the SA
node is picked up by another mass of conductive tissue known as the atrioventricular
(AV) node. The AV node is located in the right atrium in the inferior portion of the
interatrial septum. The AV node picks up the signal sent by the SA node and transmits it
through the atrioventricular (AV) bundle.. The AV bundle splits into left and right
branches in the interventricular septum and continues running through the septum until
they reach the apex of the heart.
Deoxygenated blood returning from the body first enters the heart from the superior
and inferior vena cava. The blood enters the right atrium and is pumped through the
tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. From the right ventricle, the blood is pumped
through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary trunk.
The pulmonary trunk carries blood to the lungs where it releases carbon dioxide and
absorbs oxygen. The blood in the lungs returns to the heart through the pulmonary
veins. From the pulmonary veins, blood enters the heart again in the left atrium.
The left atrium contracts to pump blood through the bicuspid (mitral) valve into the left
ventricle. The left ventricle pumps blood through the aortic semi lunar valve into the
aorta. From the aorta, blood enters into systemic circulation throughout the body tissues
until it returns to the heart via the vena cava and the cycle repeats.
The ureters are thin tubes about 25–30 cm (10–12 inches) long that connect the
kidneys to the bladder. The urethra is a small tube that connects the bladder to the
outside of the body.
The inside of the kidney is made up of an outer part called the cortex and an
inner part called the medulla. The renal pelvis is a hollow, funnel-shaped area in the
centre of each kidney where urine collects.
The renal artery brings blood to the kidney, and the renal vein takes blood away
from the kidney. The area where the renal artery, renal vein and ureter enter the kidney
is called the renal hilum.
Inside each kidney is a network of millions of small tubes called nephrons. Each
nephron has corpuscles and tubules. The corpuscles contain tiny blood vessels called
glomeruli that filter the blood. A glomerulus is surrounded by a layer of cells called
Bowman’s capsule. Tubules are tiny tubes that collect the waste materials and
chemicals from the blood as it moves through the kidney.
The main function of the kidneys is to filter extra water, impurities and wastes
from the blood. Blood from the body enters the kidneys through the renal arteries. The
blood passes through the nephrons, where waste products and extra water are
removed. The clean blood is returned to the body through the renal veins.
The waste products filtered from the blood are then concentrated into urine. The
urine is collected in the renal pelvis. The ureters move the urine to the bladder, where it
is stored. Urine travels from the bladder and out of the body through the urethra.
The kidneys also make certain hormones, which are substances that control
certain body functions. Hormones made by the kidneys are:Erythropoietin (EPO)
stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells. And Calcitriol, a form of vitamin D,
helps the intestines absorb calcium from the diet.Renin helps control blood pressure.
The major glands of the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary,
thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals. The pancreas is also a part of this system; it has a role
in hormone production as well as in digestion.
The endocrine system is regulated by feedback in much the same way that a
thermostat regulates the temperature in a room. For the hormones that are regulated by
the pituitary gland, a signal is sent from the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland in the
form of a "releasing hormone," which stimulates the pituitary to secrete a "stimulating
hormone" into the circulation. The stimulating hormone then signals the target gland to
secrete its hormone. As the level of this hormone rises in the circulation, the
hypothalamus and the pituitary gland shut down secretion of the releasing hormone and
the stimulating hormone, which in turn slows the secretion by the target gland. This
system results in stable blood concentrations of the hormones that are regulated by the
pituitary gland.
The hypothalamus is located in the lower central part of the brain. This part of the
brain is important in regulation of satiety, metabolism, and body temperature. In
addition, it secretes hormones that stimulate or suppress the release of hormones in the
pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain beneath the hypothalamus
and is no larger than a pea. It is often considered the most important part of the
endocrine system because it produces hormones that control many functions of other
endocrine glands.
The thyroid gland is located in the lower front part of the neck. It produces thyroid
hormones that regulate the body's metabolism. Thyroid hormones also
help maintain normal blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, muscle tone, and
reproductive functions.
The parathyroid glands are two pairs of small glands embedded in the surface of
the thyroid gland, one pair on each side. They release parathyroid hormone, which
plays a role in regulating calcium levels in the blood and bone metabolism.
The two adrenal glands are triangular-shaped glands located on top of each
kidney.
After a meal, carbohydrates in foods are converted into glucose in the intestine and
liver and enter the bloodstream. Beta cells sense the rising blood glucose levels
and secrete insulin into the blood. Once in the bloodstream, insulin helps glucose
enter the body's cells, where it can be "burned" by the liver and muscles for energy.
Liver and muscles can also convert glucose to glycogen, a type of reserve form of
energy that is stored there for future needs.When the body is working as it should, blood
glucose levels quickly return to normal, and insulin secretion decreases.
Normally, the secretion of these hormones by the pancreas is perfectly balanced: Beta
and alpha cells continuously monitor blood glucose levels and release insulin or
glucagon as needed. In diabetes, this balance is thrown off because beta cells produce
little or no insulin or the body's cells are resistant to insulin action - or often both.
Glucose then fails to enter cells effectively and the fuel for energy remains stuck in the
bloodstream. The result is persistently high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia).
