Another astrocytic response is development of visible cytoplasm. These plump active<br />
astrocytes are termed gemistocytic astrocytes.<br />
The photograph to the left is from a dog infected with CD virus<br />
Alzheimer type II <strong>cells</strong><br />
They appear as paired swollen clear astrocytic nuclei. They manifest in metabolic<br />
disturbances when the liver or kidney is damaged (hepatoencephalopathy or uremic<br />
encephlaopathy).<br />
Alzheimer II <strong>cells</strong> have no relation to the disease<br />
When astrocytes react, they hypertrophy and become more visible: look like plump<br />
<strong>cells</strong> with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and eccentric nuclei<br />
Called gemistocytic astrocytes<br />
Will see these in canine distemper<br />
In uremia or liver damage, see Alzheimer II <strong>cells</strong><br />
