ABSTRACT
To determine the morphological patterns of HCV related liver disease in our set up. 164 routinely processed liver biopsies were assessed and scored for grading [necro-inflammatory changes] and staging [fibrosis] using modified Knodell HAI scoring system. Our patients were mostly females and maximum cases were in 4[th] and 5[th] decades. Mild portal inflammation was seen in 78% and moderate in 20% cases. Piecemeal necrosis was mild in 76% while moderate in 15% cases. HAI grades ranged from mild [161 cases] to moderate [03 cases]. Fibrous portal expansion/short fibrous septae were seen in 35[21.3%] cases. HCV related lived disease is mild in our set up and a long term follow up of these cases is required to assess the progression of disease
