Question

how do hypoxia relate to elevated and decrease international ratio?

Answer 1

Ans) High V/Q ratio is characterized by significant ventilation in the poorly perfused area. High V/Q ratio develops in emphysematous patients due to high compliance and reduced blood flow. Low V/Q ratio develops predominantly in bronchitis phenotype due to bronchial obstruction leading to reduced ventilation.

- Hypoxic liver injury is a common condition usually caused by insufficient hepatic perfusion in a patient with liver congestion. The disease is diagnosed on the basis of a rapid increase and subsequent rapid decrease in transaminase values in the absence of other causes of liver
disease. Treatment and prognosis depend on the underlying disease.
