Cellular Swelling
Cellular Swelling
Occurs when there's an influx of sodium and impaired ion pumps, leading to cell swelling.
Intracellular Changes in Reversible Injury
Intracellular Changes in Reversible Injury
An early sign of reversible injury characterized by mitochondrial swelling, ATP depletion, and cytoplasmic swelling. It can also include loss of microvilli and chromatin clumping.
Irreversible Injury
Irreversible Injury
Occurs when significant ATP depletion and loss of membrane integrity happen, leading to cell death.

Study Notes
Microscopic Patterns of Reversible Injury
- Two microscopic patterns include cellular swelling and fatty change.
- Cellular swelling occurs due to sodium entry and impaired ion pumps.
Intracellular Changes in Reversible Injury
- Reversible injury leads to early changes such as mitochondrial swelling, ATP depletion, and cytoplasmic swelling.
- Loss of microvilli and chromatin clumping can also be observed.
Transition to Irreversible Injury
- Changes of reversible injury become irreversible when significant ATP depletion and loss of membrane integrity occur, leading to necrosis.
Gross Microscopic Changes in Reversible Injury
- Observable changes include edema, cellular swelling, and reorganization of cellular structures.
Earliest Change in Injured Cells
- The earliest change seen in injured cells is cellular swelling, often indicating a shift in ion homeostasis.
Process in Acute Pancreatitis
- The release of fatty acids and calcium in acute pancreatitis is due to the process of enzymatic digestion of pancreatic tissue.
Type of Necrosis with Plasma Leakage
- Fibrinoid necrosis is characterized by plasma leakage into the media and fibrin deposition in damaged vessel walls.
Fate of Necrotic Tissue
- Most necrotic tissue is removed by leukocytes through a combination of phagocytosis and extracellular enzyme digestion.
Clinical Condition and Troponin Leakage
- Troponin leakage is commonly associated with myocardial infarction due to cell damage in cardiac tissue.
Formation of Fatty Saponification
- Fatty saponification in acute pancreatitis occurs due to the interaction of released fatty acids with calcium ions, resulting in chalky deposits.
Type of Necrosis in Vasculitis
- Fibrinoid necrosis is also observed in smooth muscle necrosis in arterioles due to conditions like vasculitis and hypertension.
Characteristic Cell Injury Pattern in Tuberculosis
- Caseous necrosis is characteristic of tuberculosis infections, showing cheese-like (caseous) appearance in tissue.
Most Common Form of Necrosis
- Coagulative necrosis is the most common form, particularly affecting the myocardium, liver, and kidney.
Type of Necrosis in Bacterial Infections
- Liquefactive necrosis involves complete digestion of dead cells with rapid dissolution, often associated with bacterial and fungal infections.
Ischemic Coagulative Necrosis
- Gas gangrene refers to ischemic coagulative necrosis with superimposed infection and tissue putrefaction.
Mechanism of Fat Destruction
- Focal areas of fat destruction, producing white, chalky areas, are caused by enzymatic action during acute pancreatitis.
Mechanism Underlying Coagulative Necrosis
- Coagulative necrosis is caused by reduced blood flow leading to the preservation of cellular outlines while the internal structure undergoes breakdown.
Cell Death with White Blood Cell Accumulation
- Neutrophilic infiltration leading to tissue damage is characteristic of necrosis associated with bacterial infections.
Location of Dry Gangrene
- Dry gangrene is typically seen in the extremities, often resulting from arterial obstruction.
