[Nature of cloudy swelling and granular degeneration of parenchymatous organs].
There is a basis to consider a cloudy swelling of parenchymatous organs as one of manifestations of albuminous or, more correctly, albuminous-hydropic degeneration. It has characteristic macroscopic (cloudy swelling) and microscopic ("hydropic oedema", granular degeneration) signs and various patho--and morphogenetic mechanisms. Granular degeneration may be not only an expression and synonym of albuminous-hydropic degeneration but a manifestation of functional tension, i.e. adaptation, as well. Heterogeneity of the concept "cloudy swelling" is due to the peculiarities of its pathogenesis while the heterogeneity of the concept "granular degeneration" is due to double pathologic interpretation of this phenomenon, adaptation and degeneration which are divided by the time factor only which determines the break of adaptation.
