Which consequence results when systemic capillary leak develops due to endothelial cell glycocalyx degradation?

💡 Explanation

Increased vascular permeability causes fluid leakage into tissues, systemic capillary leak syndrome compromises alveolar barrier function, causing pulmonary edema because capillary walls weaken following glycocalyx degradation. Therefore, edema occurs rather than the other local responses.

• If a patient develops angioedema during surgery due to latex allergy, which consequence follows regarding histamine's role?
• During intense exercise, why does the perception of a minor ankle sprain often decrease temporarily, despite continued nociceptor activation?
• If a patient with long-term type 2 diabetes develops resistance to insulin signaling in muscle cells, which consequence is most likely?
• Why does an elderly person in a heatwave risk hyperthermia more than a younger person, even with similar environmental exposure?
• Why does albuterol, a beta-2 agonist inhaler, relieve asthma symptoms faster than inhaled corticosteroids during an acute asthma attack?
• In a patient with type 2 diabetes experiencing insulin resistance, which adaptation initially helps maintain normal blood glucose levels despite reduced insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues?
