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.

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
