Congestive sclerosis - congestive sclerosis

Japanese: 鬱血性硬化 - うっけつせいこうか
Congestive sclerosis - congestive sclerosis

...In addition, liquid components of blood leak out of blood vessels, causing edema (called congestive edema). With temporary congestion, damage to tissues and organs is minor, and most recover when the congestion is relieved, but if congestion continues for a long time, the damage becomes severe, causing parenchymal cells to degenerate and atrophy, while at the same time increasing the amount of interstitial connective tissue, causing it to harden (called congestive cirrhosis). Representative examples include brown hardening of the lungs seen in cases of abnormalities of the mitral valve of the heart, and congestive cirrhosis of the liver seen in cases of long-lasting right ventricular dysfunction.
