Gangrene (or gangrenous necrosis) is a type of necrosis caused by a critically insufficient blood supply. This potentially life-threatening condition may occur after an injury or infection, or in people suffering from any chronic health problem affecting blood circulation.he etymology of gangrene derives from the Latin word gangraena and from the Greek gangraina (Î³Î¬Î³Î³ÏÎ±Î¹Î½Î±), which means  putrefaction of tissues. It has no etymological connection with the word green, despite the affected areas turning black and/or green and/or yellowish brown.
