Shock is a clinical condition associated with a decrease in effective Cardiac Output, leading to destructive changes in Internal Organs. Kidney injury results in ACUTE RENAL FAILURE, a syndrome characterized by tubular epithelial necrosis and profound disorders of Blood AND Lymph Circulation. Grossly, the kidney exhibits a greyish-white cortex and congested dark-red pyramids. Microscopically, necrobiotic and necrotic changes are observed in the tubular epithelium.
