Tutorial Name: Irreversible Cell Injury
ConceptName: Fibrinoid necrosis
Slide Name: Malignant hypertension (high3)

Image Description: Fibrinoid necrosis is frequently seen in glomeruli, since fibrin accumulates in damaged areas. The necrosis is usually segmental and most of the time is in continuity with fibrinoid arteriolar necrosis.

 
Structures Structure Descriptions
segmental necrosis-glomerulus The necrosis is in the left/lower left quadrant of the glomerulus. Fibrinoid necrosis typically has a fibrinoid appearance - bright pink on H&E stain. Some fragmented red blood cells are seen in this area.
Damaged arteriole The injured vessel is visible at the lower left
