                Pathophysiology









                On the molecular level, this is related to endothelial dysfunction, which

                leads to disorganized endothelial cell proliferation, decreased


                production of vasodilators such as prostacyclin and nitric oxide, and


                overexpression of vasoconstrictors like endothelin.
