Hyperemia Perstatic

Peristatic hyperemia (H. peri-stática; sinus of Greek origin, translated as “surrounded” (from -statos)), is one of the types of hyperemia (the latter concept should not be confused with endocarditis, in which the cardiovascular tissue becomes red during its entire mass).

Perstatic hyperemia is a condition in which the walls of blood vessels in the mucous membranes become dilated and congested. This occurs due to an increase in blood volume in the vessels and expansion of their lumen. At the same time, veins, arteries and capillaries may be overflowing with blood.

The causes of peristatic hyperemia are various: hypoxia (lack of oxygen), inflammatory processes, injuries, microcirculation disorders, damage to nerve endings in muscles and tissues, hormonal imbalances, etc. Also, the symptom is a consequence of various diseases, such as myositis, tuberculosis, atherosclerosis,
