GANGRENED Meaning and
Definition
-
Gangrened is a term used to describe a condition in which a part of the body undergoes gangrene, a type of tissue death that occurs when a certain area of the body is deprived of blood supply. Gangrene typically occurs due to a lack of oxygen and nutrients reaching the affected area, which can be caused by factors such as blockage of blood vessels, injury, or infection.
The term gangrened is commonly used to denote the process of gangrene developing or spreading within an area of the body. It signifies a state in which the affected tissue has become necrotic, meaning that it has died due to the lack of blood flow. This can manifest as a noticeable change in color, usually turning the affected area dark or black. Other symptoms of gangrened tissue include severe pain, swelling, foul odor, and the formation of blisters or discharge.
Gangrened tissue poses serious health risks and requires immediate medical attention. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the dead tissue and management of the underlying cause, such as revascularization to restore blood flow or the administration of antibiotics. If left untreated, gangrened tissue can lead to complications such as sepsis, where bacterial infection spreads throughout the body, posing a life-threatening situation.

Etymology of GANGRENED
The word "gangrened" is derived from the noun "gangrene", which comes from the Latin term "gangraena". In turn, "gangraena" was borrowed from the Greek word "γάγγραινα" (gángraina). The Greek term originally referred to a form of mortification or putrefaction, especially in tissue. The word "gangrene" entered the English language in the 16th century, and the verb form "gangrened" was later derived from it to describe the process of tissue becoming affected by gangrene.
