Study Notes
Fatty Change and Hydropic Change
- The liver is commonly affected by fatty change.
- The main cause of hydropic change is water accumulation in cells due to cellular injury or inflammation.
- A synonym for hydropic change is vacuolar degeneration.
- In specialized organs, the gross morphology of hydropic change is characterized by pale, swollen, and soft tissue.
- Fatty change is characterized at a microscopic level by the accumulation of lipid droplets within the cells, often displacing the nucleus to the periphery.
