Links

Links to cryonics are too obscure to belong in a very general article on ischemia. Links to organ preservation for transplantation purposes are more in touch with the subject than this. Also avoid dumping external links everywhere that only emphasise fringe statements. JFW | T@lk 08:47, 16 May 2004

Hypoxia vs. Ischaemia

For a reduction in oxygen the term "hypoxia" is more often used and more accurate. Ischemia should be reserved for a reduction in blood supply. content of article:

* inability of the tissues to extract oxygen from the blood (e.g. sepsis)

There is no inability of tissue to extract oxygen, the ability of the tissue to "use" oxygen is dependent of vital cells ! Sepsis is a far more complicate life threatening syndrome than an "unability of extracting oxygen" or whatever the editor meant.

If insufficient oxygen is supplied to the tissue to maintain life in that tissue, the tissue dies, or infarcts.

answer: Tissue never dies, it is the human being or animals that die but not tissues. Tissues can become hypoxic, anoxic, apoptotic or necrotic. User:149.148.181.110.

You can make these changes yourself, just press "edit" at the bottom! I have made some changes on the basis of your suggestions. JFW | T@lk 19:49, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Proposed merge

I have proposed a merge between Acute arterial ischemic disorder and this article because:

These appear to be about the same topic

Kind regards, LT90001 (talk) 07:47, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It has also been proposed that the article Renal ischemia be merged into the article Ischemia. I am against that merge. Renal ischemia is a potential topic in and of itself. The article “Renal ischemia” should be expanded and improved.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 20:09, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am a retired MD. In trying to look up spontaneous renal infarct, I found little. I agree with Solomon that the subject of renal infarction, renal ischemia, etc should be kept separate and experts on this subject should be heard. David R.
