Reversible cell injury is characterized by cellular swelling (hypertrophy) as the primary feature, where the nucleus may shrink (karyokinesis) but does not dissolve or break apart; if the nucleus undergoes karyolysis (complete dissolution) or karyorrhexis (fragmentation), the injury becomes irreversible and the cell will die.

Added:So what is the primary feature of reversible cell injury? If someone slightly harms your cell and creates an injury, then if it is reversible, what should be its sign? Nuclear kinosis: Its nucleus will degenerate.
Cellular filling: This cell will swell in this manner.
Karyocyanosis or karyo rhexis.
Which of the following conditions represents reversible cell injury? Now, in this nuclear kinesis, our nucleus starts shrinking.
Our nucleus starts shrinking. In karyolysis the nucleus dissolves completely. It dissolves completely. And in karyorrhexis the nucleus gets divided into pieces. That is called karyorrhexis. So if cell injury is reversible, then the prime example is that there is just going to be a little swelling inside the cell.
But because of that, if our nucleus gets damaged, breaks, shrinks or dissolves, then there is no way to recover it.
Ultimately he is going to die. So reversible cell injury means swelling is being produced inside the cell.
What is happening inside the cell? Swelling is being produced.
And this thing is known by another name, hypertrophy.
What do you call this? Hypertrophy. You may have heard a [throat clearing sound][nasal sound] without in hyperplasia of the prostate cardio h ocm hypertrophic cardiomyopathy hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. So what happens inside it? Our cell gets swollen.
Swelling starts occurring inside the cell. So this injury is totally reversible. Next question: Before moving on to the next question, you can see here that when the cell gets injured, there is swelling inside this cell. So this cell looks something like this.
But if it is unable to handle this particular pressure then it ultimately dissolves. Breaks into pieces.
Its material gets completely scattered.
These are all factors.
