Tissue hypoxia

Tissue hypoxia occurs when body tissues are deprived of adequate oxygen, which is vital for their proper function. This condition can happen due to reduced blood flow, lung problems, or anemia, all of which limit oxygen delivery. Without enough oxygen, cells can't produce the energy they need, leading to potential damage or dysfunction of tissues. Symptoms may include weakness, shortness of breath, or changes in skin color. Addressing the underlying cause is essential to restore proper oxygen levels and prevent tissue injury.
