==Treatment of Shock==
The aim of treatment is to recover full circulatory function and thus increase tissue perfusion to normal levels. The mainstay of treatment is [[Principles of Fluid Therapy|fluid therapy]] to increase circulatory volume and drug therapy as required to counteract the predisposing cause of the condition. Oxygen therapy will be required if signs of hypoxia are present.

Drug therapies may include antiprostaglandins, [[Antibiotics|antibiotics]], sympathomimetics, antiarrhythmics, vasodilators, bicarbonate and glucose, as indicated by the underlying cause and the diagnostic lab work.[[Steroids|glucocorticosteriods]], are contra-indicated unless a specific defciency is noted i.e [[Hypoadrenocorticism|hypoadrenocorticism]].

* Histologically, the tubular epithelial cells die and fall into the lumen, the basement membranes rupture and irritant material escapes into the interstitium.
