hepatization

 [hep″ah-tĭ-za´shun]
consolidation of tissue into a liverlike mass, especially as occurs in the lung in lobar pneumonia. The early stage, in which the pulmonary exudate is blood stained, is called red hepatization. The later stage, in which the red blood cells disintegrate and a fibrinosuppurative exudate persists, is called gray hepatization.
