cell injury 3
INTRACELLULAR ACCUMULATIONS
WHAT is it?
Prescence of abnormal amounts of a substance within the cytoplasm,
previously was referred to as infiltration
Intracellular accumulations in
mild degree
causes reversible cell injury,
severe degree
causes irreversible cell injury
3 groups of accumulations
Accumulation of normal cell metabolites
(fats, proteins, carbohydrates)
FATTY CHANGE (STEATOSIS)
Intracellular accumulation of neutral fat
Most commonly seen in liver
but also observed in heart,
skeletal muscle,
kidneys etc.
FATTY LIVER
Etiology:
Conditions of excess fat:

CHOLESTEROL AND CHOLESTEROL ESTERS
Atherosclerosis:
deposits of lipid vacuoles in the intima layer of arteries
mostly composed of cholesterol and cholesterol ester.
Foamy appearance of cells.
On gross examination intima layers appears yellow with cholesterol laden atheromas.
Some of the lipid rich vacuoles may rupture, releasing lipids
into the blood.
Xanthomas:
intracellular accumulation of cholesterol within macrophages.
Clusters of foamy cells in connective tissue in skin and tendons,
appears grossly as masses knowns as xanthomas
Cholesterolosis:

Accumulation of abnormal substances
INTRACELLULAR ACCUMULATION OF PROTEINS
Pathologic accumulation of proteins occur in:
Proteinuria :
Russell’s bodies ;
2 more items...
excessive renal tubular reabsorption
INTRACELLULAR ACCUMULATION OF GLYCOGEN
Diabetes mellitus:
normal cellular uptake of glucose is impaired.
Glycogen deposits in
-proximal convoluted tubule
-and loop of henle,
-hepatocytes
Glycogen storage diseases
defective metabolism of glycogen due to genetic
disorders
Accumulation of pigments
Pigments are colored substances,
some which are normal
constituents of cells and others are abnormal and accumulate in cells under special circumstances.
Endogenus: synthesized in the body
1.Melanin:
brown-black pigment in
hair,
skin,
choroid of eye,
meninges
and adrenal medulla.

2.Hemoprotein derived pigments:
endogenous pigments derived from hemoglobin,
cytochromes and their break down products.
1 more item...
3.Lipofuscin (wear and tear pigment):
yellowish-brown lipid pigment.
Found in atrophied cells of old age.
1 more item...
Exogenus: coming from outside the body
1.Inhaled pigments:
carbon or coal dust,
asbestos,
silica.
Inhaled pigments can lead to
pneumoconiosis.
3.Ingested pigments:
chronic ingestion of metal

2.Injected pigments:
Tattoing (india ink, cinnabar, carbon)
taken up by macrophages and lies in connective tissue.
