Thanks for the info, heavythrower. Helps all of us to know. Do you think that there was any necrosis from a high BA content? Or maybe the leukocytes formed due to impurities?
no necrosis, as i am free of infection. necrotic tissue will become colonized with bacteria very soon, regardless of location.
i suspect more of an immune reation to various no organic impurities, or this “BA” i keep hearing stories about.
Necrotic tissue does not have to be ‘colonised with bacteria’ at all. At least, not if what I’ve been learning in Pathology recently is true, LOL! Tissue can die from many causes - toxins, trauma, radiation etc.
All that usually happens is that the necrotic tissue is removed by phagocytosis and then replaced by fibrous tissue (if the original tissue cannot be faithfully replaced, ie cardiac muscle following an ischemic attack). In fact, if it was tissue necrosis due to BA, this would fit it with your symptoms.
The destruction of cells releases intracellular debris, including various lysosomal enzymes contained within each cell. This causes an inflamatory response, hence the presence of high numbers of leukocytes, but no bacterial infection. [/quote]
beg to differ. if tissue becomes necrotic, it is prone to infection. infection sets up very quickly in necrotic tissue, that is why we in the medical field have to quickly debride necrotic tissue.
