An organ is injured in a way that enables the stroma to regenerate, but not the parenchyma. What impact will that have on the subsequent functioning of that organ?

The first step to answer this question is to define what the two different cell types you are talking about. The parenchyma are the functional cells of the organ and the Stroma is the framework that holds everything together and supports the parenchyma cells. If the organ is injured in which only the parenchyma is injured and the stroma (the framework) is spared, then the organ will be able to regenerate with out losing function of the damage area. As long as the organ has a frame to start repairing itself, which is th stroma, it can regenerate the functional parenchyma cells. If the parenchyma and the stroma are damage by a injury , then the organ will not have the frame that is need to start its repair. This would result healing, but the new tissue would be scar tissue without any functional properties to provide the organ. Basicly if the stroma is intaked then you have a frame in order to repair the organ back to how it was before the injury.

the organ will die, if not able to regenerate.. try growth hormone therapy (from patient to limit rejection) and monitor for infection be mindful not 2 use pre-infection meds as this will limit your future options, standard methods ie clean dressing should be sufficient initially. a drastic measure is to reroute or add another blood supply source to the organ at hand.
