Refimprove date May 2008 Heart failure cells or siderophages are hemosiderin containing macrophages in the alveoli . The main causes are left heart failure and chronic pulmonary edema . In left heart failure, the left ventricle can not keep pace with the incoming blood from the pulmonary veins . The resulting backup causes increased pressure on the alveolar capillaries , and red blood cells leak out. Alveolar macrophages ingest the red blood cells, and become engorged with brownish hemosiderin. In pulmonary edema, alveolar septa get thick and fibrous, again increasing pressure on alveolar capillaries and resulting in leakage of red blood cells which undergo phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages. Heart failure cells may cause brick red sputum. See also Dust cells Category Macrophages medical stub ja ... more details
mergefrom Euler Liljestrand mechanism discuss Talk Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction Merger proposal date May 2010 Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is a paradoxical, Physiology physiological phenomenon in which pulmonary arteries constrict in the presence of Hypoxia medical hypoxia low oxygen levels without hypercapnia high carbon dioxide levels , redirecting blood flow to Pulmonary alveolus alveoli with a higher oxygen content. The process might at first seem illogical, as low oxygen levels should theoretically lead to increased blood flow to the lungs to receive increased gaseous exchange. However, it is explained by the fact that constriction leads to redistribution of bloodflow to better ventilated areas of the lung, which increases the total area involved in gaseous exchange. This improves ventilation perfusion ratio and arterial oxygenation, but it less helpful in the case in long term whole body hypoxia. This is seen in COPD , at effects of high altitude on humans altitude and in heart failure . Several factors inhibit this process including increased cardiac output, hypocapnia , hypothermia , acidosis alkalosis , increased pulmonary vascular resistance, inhaled anesthetics , calcium channel blockers, PEEP, HFV, isoproterenol , nitrous oxide , and vasodilators . High altitude pulmonary edema main High altitude pulmonary edema Climbing tall mountains can induce full lung hypoxia due to decreased atmospheric pressure. This hypoxia causes hypoxic vasoconstriction that ultimately leads to high altitude pulmonary edema HAPE . For this reason, most climbers carry supplemental oxygen to prevent hypoxia, edema, and HAPE. The standard drug treatment of dexamethasone does not alter the hypoxia or the consequent vasoconstriction, but stimulates fluid reabsorption in the lungs to reverse the edema.

Causes Alveolar lung disease may be divided into acute or chronic. Causes of acute alveolar lung disease include pulmonary edema cardiogenic or neurogenic , pneumonia bacterial or viral , pulmonary embolism , systemic lupus erythemosus , pulmonary hemorrhae e.g., Goodpasture syndrome , idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis , and Wegner granulomatosis . Chronic alveolar lung disease can be caused by pulmonary alveolar proteinosis , alveolar cell carcinoma , mineral oil pneumonia , sarcoidosis alveolar form , lymphoma , tuberculosis , metastases , desquamative interstitial pneumonia Radiographic findings Alveolar disease is visible on chest radiography as small, ill defined nodules of homogeneous density centered around the acini or bronchioles. The nodules coalesce early in the course of disease, such that the nodules may only be seen as soft fluffy edges in the periphery. When the nodules are centered around the hilar regions, the chest x ray may develop what is called the butterfly, or batwing appearance. The nodules may also have a segmental or lobar distribution. Air alveolograms and air bronchograms can also be seen. These findings appear soon after the onset of symptoms and change rapidly thereafter. A segmental or lobar pattern may be apparent after aspiration pneumonia , atelectasis , lung contusion , localized pulmonary edema , obstructive pneumonia , pneumonia , pulmonary embolism with infarction , or tuberculosis .
