fibrinous adhesion

The majority of fibrinous adhesions will disappear in due course of time.

In many cases however the production or activity of these enzymes are compromised because of injury, and the fibrinous adhesion persists.

Fibrinous adhesions.

The bacterium causes severe inflammation of the epididymis, causing formation of spermatocoeles and fibrinous adhesions.

In body cavities such as the peritoneal, pericardial and synovial cavities, a family of fibrinolytic enzymes may act to limit the extent of the initial fibrinous adhesion, and may even dissolve it.

If this is allowed to happen, tissue repair cells such as macrophages, fibroblasts and blood vessel cells, penetrate into the fibrinous adhesion, and lay down collagen and other matrix substances to form a permanent fibrous adhesion.
