Arteriolar Hyalinosis – Causes Symptoms and Ayurvedic Treatment

ABSTRACT

It is a form of cardiovascular disease which involves the  hardening of arteries of heart   and elasticity of arterioles that get lost  and the  small arteries and is associated with hypertension and endocrine disorders. Types of arteriolar hyalinosis  include the  hyaline arteriolosclerosis and hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis which are both involved with vessel  and mostly  luminal narrowing that may cause downstream ischemic injuries . These diseases are very common in today’s era due to sedentary lifestyle and changed food habits of people. In this article we will discuss all about this disease in detail and talk about ayurvedic treatment also.

Arteriolar Hyalinosis

INTRODUCTION

This arteriolar hyalinosis is a disease of arteries which is frequently encountered in elderly patients. Whether normotensive or hypertensive but is more generalised and more severe in patients with generalized and more severe in patients with hypertension. The condition is also seen commonly in diabetes and forms part of the microangiography characteristic of diabetic disease. Whatever the clinical setting, the vascular lesion consists of homogenous, pink, hyaline thickening of the walls of arterioles with loss of underlying structural detail and with narrowing of the vessel lumen.

Under the electron microscope irregular thickening of basement membrane can be visualized and there is deposition of amorphous extracellular substance within the vessel wall. Often the smooth muscle cells are trapped within these deposits. Intimal and medical collagenization adds to the  hyaline changes of the arteriole walls. Presumably the chronic hydrodynamic stress of hypertension or a metabolic stress in diabetes accentuates endothelial injury, thus resulting in leakage and hyaline deposition. Whatever the pathogenesis, the narrowing of the arteriolar lumina causes impairment of the blood supply to affect organs, particularly well exemplified in the kidneys.

Thus hyaline arteriolosclerosis is a major morphological characteristic of nephrosclerosis in which the arteriolar narrowing causes diffuse renal ischemia and symmetrical contraction of the kidney . The hyperplastic type of arteriosclerosis is generally related to more acute or severe elevations of blood pressure and is therefore characteristic of malignant hypertension. This form of of arteriolar disease can be identified under the light microscope by virtue of its onion skin, concentric, laminated thickening of the walls of arterioles with progressive narrowing of the lumina.

CAUSES

Following are the causes of this disease

The Lesions which are  developed  in the arteries  reflect leakage of plasma components across the  vascular endothelium and excessive extracellular matrix production by smooth muscle cells which is usually secondary to hypertension. The  narrowing of the lumen of the artery decreases the renal blood flow and hence glomerular filtration rate leading to increased renin secretion and a perpetuating cycle with increasing blood pressure and decreasing kidney function.

Hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis

Arteriosclerosis  which  involves a very  narrow lumen. The arteries are accompanied by the fibrinoid necrosis due to hyperplastic and hypertension changes These types of changes are very prominent in the kidney and can lead to ischemia and acute kidney failures.

SIGN AND SYMPTOMS

Following are the sign and symptoms regarding this disease

  1. Chest pain or any type of pressure that occurs with exercise or any kind of physical work
  2. Shortness of breath and fatigue this symptoms is more often present in old age pateints and is most likely occur with the pressure in left atrium and lungs
  3. Syncope fainting or passing out may affects the patients of this disease it occurs with the irregular heart rhythms and abnormal response of blood vessels and walls of heart abnormal response of blood vessels during exercise
  4. Palpitations fluttering in the chest due to abnormal heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation or tachycardia

DIAGNOSIS

Following are the diagnostic method for this disease

  1. Medical history
  2. Physical examination
  3. Tests include echo,chest x-rays,MRI imaging

TREATMENT

Medications in this disease often given for to treat symptoms and prevent further complications medications such as beta blockers and calcium channel blockers that helps to relax the heart muscles and as well as vessels other medications are given to control heart rate decrease the arrhythmias antibiotic medications may also be prescribed to reduce the risk factor of infections

What is scleritis? Causes, Symptoms & Treatment with Ayurveda

Abstract

Witnessing the creation of this beautiful world is only possible with a healthy pair of eyes. Eyes are the sense organ through which we see the environment. Some of the constituents of the eye are cornea, sclera pupil, etc. All these components should be in a normal state for the eyes to function properly. There can be several disorders that can affect the eyes negatively and can cause vision difficulties. Scleritis is one such abnormality. What is scleritis? What is its ayurvedic perspective? The answers are detailed in this following article.

Scleritis

Introduction

As mentioned earlier, the eye contains various parts such as the cornea, iris, pupil, sclera, etc. The white part of the eye is known as sclera and it plays a vital role in normal functioning of the eye. Most importantly, it protects and maintains the eye ball shape. The inflammation of the sclera of the eye is known as Scleritis. The characteristic feature of scleritis presents is the pain and redness of the eye with or without vision loss. Depending on the region affected, Scleritis is classified into two types named as- Anterior Scleritis and Posterior Scleritis, described as follows-

  1. Anterior Scleritis –In this type of scleritis, inflammation occurs in the anterior portion of sclera. Further, it can be subdivided into necrotizing, diffuse, and nodular. The most severe one is the necrotizing form as it causes extreme pain and severe tenderness.
  2. Posterior Scleritis –As the name suggests, inflammation in this type of Scleritis affects the posterior portion of the sclera. This can worsen and lead to other consequences for instance retinal detachment, folds of choroid, etc.

Ayurvedic Aspect

Eye disorders are grouped under the category of netraroga in ayurveda. Acharya Sushruta mentions 76 types of netraroga. One such netraroga is sirajala. This disease is known to exhibit very similar features as that of scleritis. In ayurveda, sirajala is known to affect the Shukla bhag i.e. the white part of the eye. The white part of the eye is covered with web-like reddish lines. Sirajalaisa results from dushti or abnormal levels of the rakta dosha in the body. The line of treatment will target the rakta dosha in the body. Sirajal is considered to be ashastrakritai.e. shastra or invasive treatments can not be done. That implies, sirajala needs to be treated through rakta pacifying herbal formulations. There arevarious ayurvedic formulations available to balance the vitiated rakta dosha and improve scleritis will be described as follows.

Diagnosis

  • CT scan (computed tomography)
