Figure 1. The main mechanisms of systemic injuries (heart, lungs, capillaries, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, immune cells, metabolic response) induced by burn lesions. CO – cardiac output; SIRS – systemic inflammatory response syndrome; Pi – interstitial fluid pressure; RBF – renal blood flow; GFR – glomerular filtration rate.
