What is Shock?

Shock
Changes in renal pathomorphology in rats (hematoxylin and eosin staining).A,B, sham group;C,D, shock group;E,F, shock+drainage group;G,H, shock+drainage+PPG group;I,J, shock+drainage+NaHS group. PPG:D,L-propargylglycine; NaHS: sodium hydrosulfide hydrate. Normal structure ofrenal glomeruli and tubules in the sham group is shown in Aand B; protein casts (yellow arrows) and erythrocytes (greenarrows) were found in renal tubule lumens of rats in the shock andshock+drainage+NaHS groups, as shown in CandI; tubular epithelial cells with necrosis (yellow arrows)and karyopyknosis (green arrows) were observed in the shock andshock+drainage+NaHS groups, as shown in D andJ; nearly normal architecture of glomeruli and tubules inthe shock+drainage and shock+drainage+PPG groups is shown inE, F, G, andH, plus mild edema of tubular epithelial cells (yellowarrows) in H. Hydrogen sulfide in posthemorrhagic shock mesenteric lymph drainage alleviates kidney injury in rats.

Shock is a critical condition brought on by the sudden drop in blood flow or blood pressure.
