What are the clinical implications of histological changes due to corticosteroid discontinuation?
The histological changes observed after discontinuation of corticosteroids have significant clinical implications. For instance:
- Liver Function: Normalization of liver histology can lead to improved liver function tests. - Skin Integrity: Recovery of skin thickness and collagen can enhance skin strength and reduce the risk of tears and bruises. - Bone Health: Increased bone formation can reduce the risk of fractures and improve overall bone health.
