When assessing organ damage, several key features are examined:
Cellular Integrity: Look for signs of cell necrosis or apoptosis. Inflammation: Identify the presence and type of inflammatory cells, such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, or macrophages. Fibrosis: Assess the extent of collagen deposition, which indicates chronic injury. Vascular Changes: Observe any alterations in blood vessels, such as thickening or occlusion. Regeneration: Determine the presence of regenerative cells or structures.
