The murky appeared in numerous intoxication, for example, phosphorus and arsenic, as well as by bacterial toxins (diphtheria basil, basil tists, Streptococcus, etc.). The same macro and microscopic images can also develop in organs after death as the body changes. It is also present in the cells of the organ murky been experiencing excessive surgery, for example, the kidney removed after the other. Cloudy swelling may not be a serious functional impairment of protein metabolism and easily reversible, because one must accept that occurs in many diseases healed without sequelae persistent parenchymal organs. However, when it lasts for a long time, serious injuries can occur, such as adiposity, and ultimately cell death.
