Abstract:
Marked steatosis of glomeruli and of cortical arterioles is a peculiar and hitherto neglected change occuring in generalized Shwartzman's reaction as well as in the haemolytic-uremic syndrome. The fatty deposits originate during the transient hyperlipemia occurring in both the above entities. No comparable steatosis takes place in disseminated intravascular coagulation. In disseminated intravascular coagulation occurring in hyperlipemic rats, however, steatosis of glomeruli as well as of cortical arterioles is present so that the picture resembles generalized Shwartzman's reaction. Such a comparison poses a lot of further pathogenetic problems.

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
