Pathophysiological and morphological aspects of cellular lesions.
Cell injury can result in cell death with sufficient intensity and prolongation of various noxae. Cell death exhibits specific local characteristics but is generally monomorphic. Since a cell cannot be considered as an individual unit, knowledge of the interactions among various cells and their systems provides the basis for effective cell and organ protection. In the case of cell or organ injury which threatens to generalize, with far-reaching consequences for the entire organism, the following therapeutic measures should be considered: timely intervention in the disturbed prostaglandin metabolism; activation of the RES; for example, substitution of opsonins; minimizing of the secondary invasion of enterogenic toxins.
