Neutrophils also play a key role in the development of most forms of acute lung injury. Here, activated neutrophils release the contents of their toxic granules into the lung environment.Experiments have shown that a reduction in the number of neutrophils lessens the effects of acute lung injury,but treatment by inhibiting neutrophils is not clinically realistic, as it would leave the host vulnerable to infection.In the liver, damage by neutrophils can contribute to dysfunction and injury in response to the release of endotoxins produced by bacteria, sepsis, trauma, alcoholic hepatitis, ischemia, and hypovolemic shock resulting from acute hemorrhage.
