What is Pathology - What causes pathologic atrophy in the first place?
Pathologic atrophy can be caused by a variety of factors, including: Muscle Atrophy: Muscle atrophy happens when muscles are not used. Denervation: Transection or loss of motor neurons causes skeletal muscle atrophy. Endocrine glands (e.g., thyroid, adrenal, and gonads) atrophy after pituitary resection due to a lack of trophic hormones. Ischemia: A lack of blood causes the brain or kidneys to atrophy. Malnutrition: A lack of protein and calories can induce skeletal muscle and parenchymal organ atrophy.
