Causing or producing accumulation of material in cells or tissues.
From Greek athro- (meaning 'collected' or 'accumulated') plus -genic (suffix meaning 'producing' or 'causing'). This technical adjective describes agents that promote accumulation.
Athrogenic factors in medicine are things that cause cellular buildup—think of plaque accumulation in arteries, which is athrogenic in a sense, though doctors would usually use more specific modern terms for it.
