Note: This page may contain terms or definitions that are offensive or inappropriate for some readers.necrosis [nĕ-kro´sis, ne-kro´sis] (Gr.) the morphological changes indicative of cell death caused by enzymatic degradation.aseptic necrosis necrosis without infection or inflammation.acute tubular necrosis acute renal failure with mild to severe damage or necrosis of tubule cells, usually secondary to either nephrotoxicity, ischemia after major surgery, trauma (see crush syndrome), severe hypovolemia, sepsis, or burns. See also lower nephron nephrosis.Balser's fatty necrosis gangrenous pancreatitis with omental bursitis and disseminated patches of necrosis of fatty tissues.bridging necrosis septa of confluent necrosis bridging adjacent central veins of hepatic lobules and portal triads characteristic of subacute hepatic necrosis.caseous necrosis caseation (def. 2).central necrosis necrosis affecting the central portion of an affected bone, cell, or lobule of the liver.cheesy necrosis caseation (def. 2).coagulation necrosis death of cells, the protoplasm of the cells becoming fixed and opaque by coagulation of the protein elements, the cellular outline persisting for a long time.colliquative necrosis liquefactive necrosis.fat necrosis necrosis in which fat is broken down into fatty acids and glycerol, usually occurring in subcutaneous tissue as a result of trauma.liquefactive necrosis necrosis in which the necrotic material becomes softened and liquefied.massive hepatic necrosis massive, usually fatal, necrosis of the liver, a rare complication of viral hepatitis (fulminant hepatitis) that may also result from exposure to hepatotoxins or from drug hypersensitivity.moist necrosis necrosis in which the dead tissue is wet and soft.postpartum pituitary necrosis see postpartum pituitary necrosis.selective myocardial cell necrosis myofibrillar degeneration.subcutaneous fat necrosis of newborn a benign, self-limited disease affecting term newborns and young infants, characterized by circumscribed, indurated, nodular areas of fat necrosis. It is thought to be related to trauma on bony prominences during delivery, hypothermia, asphyxia, or maternal diabetes; it usually resolves spontaneously by 2 to 4 weeks with no scarring. Called also adiponecrosis neonatorum or subcutanea.Zenker's necrosis degeneration" >hyaline degeneration and necrosis of striated muscle; called also Zenker's degeneration.
postpartum [pōst-pahr´tum] occurring after childbirth, with reference to the mother.postpartum pituitary necrosis necrosis of the pituitary during the postpartum period, resulting from an infarct; it is often associated with shock and excessive uterine bleeding during delivery, and leads to variable patterns of hypopituitarism. Called also Sheehan's syndrome.Sheehan syndrome A condition that follows postpartum uterine haemorrhage severe enough to cause circulatory collapse, resulting in pituitary necrosis and hypopituitarism, especially if disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) was also present.
Clinical findings
Galactorrhoea, amenorrhoea or oligomenorrhoea, secondary hypothyroidism, cold intolerance, hypotension, bradycardia, weight gain, hair loss, adrenal insufficiency, fatigue, loss of libido, hypoglycaemia, hyponatraemia.necrosis (ne-kro'sis) ('sez?) plural.necroses [Gr. nekrosis, (state of) death]  NECROSIS: Necrotic wound of the footThe death of cells, tissues, or organs. Necrosis may be caused by insufficient blood supply, pathogenic microorganisms, physical agents such as trauma or radiant energy (electricity, infrared, ultraviolet, roentgen, and radium rays), and chemical agents acting locally, acting internally after absorption, or placed into the wrong tissue. Some medicines cause necrosis if injected into the tissues rather than the vein, and some, such as iron dextran, cause necrosis if injected into areas other than deep muscle or vein.

Acute damage to the renal tubules; usually due to ischemia associated with shock.

Synonym: cheesy necrosiscentral necrosisNecrosis that affects only the center of a body part.cheesy necrosisCaseous necrosis.coagulation necrosisNecrosis occurring esp. in infarcts. Coagulation occurs in the necrotic area, converting it into a homogeneous mass and depriving the organ or tissue of blood.
