MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF ADRENALS AT ARTERIAL HYPERTONIA

Abstract

Article is devoted to studying of morphological changes of adrenals at an arterial hypertonia. Pathomorphologic characteristics of epinephral glands at the people who died of cerebral and cardiac option of thanatogenesis and who were suffering from arterial hypertonia during lifetime and dead from mechanical trauma incompatible with life are compared. A series of patterns of the morphological changes depending on various clinical implications of arterial hypertonia ultimately defining dying option. At development of cerebral or cardiac option of thanatogenesis there are statistically significant changes in one of adrenals. So in the left adrenals the expression of vacuolation of adrenalocytes of cerebral substance and quantity of endocrinocyte in it with pycnotic cores is enlarged. Morphological features of hyperfunction of glomerular zone, namely - defatting in the left and right glands are more expressed at cardiac option of thanatogenesis. In fascicular and mesh zones of contralateral glands at cardiac option of dying, in comparison with cerebral, the blood filling is more expressed. Also Nidal lymphoid infiltration and vacuolation of adrenalocytes of cerebral substance of the left adrenals is more expressed at cardiac option of thanatogenesis.
