Physical Agents
Chemical Agents
Microbial Agents
Immunological Agents
Nutritional
Psychological
Pathogenesis of Cell Injury
Agent Type, Duration
Severity


Target Cell Type,
Adaptability

Types of Cell Injury
Reversible
Less ATP production

Reduced pH

Damage to Na pump and Plasma
membrane.
Irreversible
Persistence of Ischemia/Hypoxia


Point of No Return









Mitochondrial Damage
Disturbed Cell membrane



Lysosomal Rupture

Free Radicals

Superoxide (O2)

Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)

Hydroxyl Radical (OH)
Hydroxil radical Most reactive

Produces membrane damage by,

LIPID Peroxidation
PROTEIN Oxidation
DNA Damage
Cytoskeletal damage

Anti-Oxidants
Inactivates Free Radicals
Ex:
Vitamine: A, C, E
Cysteine, Glutathione
Ceruloplasmin & Transferrin

Enzymes: Superoxide dismutase, Catalase,
Glutathione peroxidase.
A C E
Morphology of
Cell Injury

Morphology of Reversible
cell Injury

Degeneration

Retrogressive change

Reversible cell injury
Cellular swelling

Hyaline change

Fatty change

Mucoid change

CELLULAR SWEELING
Commonest and Earliest form
of Cell injury

Cloudy change
Hydropic change
Vacuolar degenration

Causes of Cellular swelling
Bacterial toxin, chemicals, poisons,
burns, High fever



Impaired regulation of cellular
volume



Gross: Kidney, Liver, Heart
muscles enlarged
M/E: Swollen cells
Small clear vaculoes
Hyaline change
Hyaline Glass like

Homogenous , pink material

Intracellular
1. Droplets in PCT
2. Zenkers degeneration
3. Mallorys hyaline liver cells alcohol
4. Russel bodies Plasma cells

Extracellular Hyaline
1. Old scar
2. Arteriosclerosis
3. Leiomyomas of uterus


Mucoid change
Mucin , a glycoprotein
Normaly produced by mucous membrane
An Mucus glands

Epithelial mucin = PAS + ve
Connective tissue mucin = PAS ve
With Alcian blue : both + ve
Epithelial mucin :
1. Catarrhal inlfammation of mucous
membrane
2. Mucocele
3. Mucin secreting tumours of ovary,
stomach

Connective tissue mucin
1. Myxoid degeneration of tumours
2. Dissecting aneurysm of aorta in marfans
3. Myxoid change in ganglion of wrist
Fatty change



Fatty change Steatosis

LIVER most coommon site.

Alcohol most common etiology
Causes of Fatty change
ALCOHOL
Malnutrition
Obesity
DM
Liver toxins CCl4
