What can cause necrosis and what does necrosis look like?
DominicGuyegp7642
Necrosis can be caused by external or internal factors. External factors include blood vessels damage, mechanical trauma, and ischemia. Extremely high or low temperature can cause disruption of cells, which may result in necrosis. Internal factors like trophoneurotic disorder, pancreatic enzymes, injury and paralysis of nerve cells can also cause necrosis. Sometimes steroids can also cause necrosis.

∙ 8y agoNecrosis: The death of living cells or tissues. Necrosis can be due, for example, to ischemia (lack of blood flow). From the Greek "nekros" (dead body). It's skin death and looks like dried blood underneath the skin (black like a bruise) at first and can progress.

What is the pathogenesis of cystic medial necrosis?

Why noradrenaline need to be given via central line?
Extravasation can cause tissue necrosis.
What is the difference between coagulative and liquefactive necrosis?
Liquefactive necrosis is good for your body, especially your brain (due to the beneficial liquids produced) but coagulative necrosis is bad due to the clumping and coagulation (i.e. clotting) that occurs.Coagulation necrosis is the "acute" necrosis in which the protein fibers become denatured and everything turns into a semi-solid mess of dead tissue. Liquefactive necrosis is a more "chronic" necrosis in which the dead tissue is digested into a liquid which can then be removed by the macrophages.
Is a horned spider poisinous?

Will potassium cause tissue necrosis if given IV Push?

What is the most common necrosis?
Necrosis is tissue death. It is common to find necrosis in the extremities, however necrosis can result from damage or disease in any living tissue or body part.
What is fatty necrosis?
Fat necrosis is one of many types of necrosis. Necrosis is cell death with inflammation (different from apoptosis, which is without inflammation). Fat necrosis occurs in two forms. 1. Traumatic fat necrosis is the result of trauma. Cellular damage to fat-rich organs, such as the breasts, can lead to necrosis of the adipocytes. 2. Fat necrosis as a result of acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis. In this case, damage to the pancrease releases lipolytic enzymes into the blood, causing damage, and eventual necrosis of adipocytes.
