WHAT DOES FIBROSIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fibrosis

Fibrosis

Fibrosis is the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ or tissue in a reparative or reactive process. This can be a reactive, benign, or pathological state. In response to injury this is called scarring and if fibrosis arises from a single cell line this is called a fibroma. Physiologically this acts to deposit connective tissue, which can obliterate the architecture and function of the underlying organ or tissue. Fibrosis can be used to describe the pathological state of excess deposition of fibrous tissue, as well as the process of connective tissue deposition in healing.

Definition of fibrosis in the English dictionary

The definition of fibrosis in the dictionary is the formation of an abnormal amount of fibrous tissue in an organ or part as the result of inflammation, irritation, or healing.
