Association between liver vascular lesions and liver cirrhosis / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Many factors can cause liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in clinical practice, and liver cirrhosis caused by liver vascular lesions often has insidious progression. Due to a lack of knowledge in clinicians and limited diagnostic and treatment techniques, patients often have poor prognosis. The liver vascular system has a unique structure, and patients with different locations and extents of lesion have different clinical manifestations and outcomes. Correct diagnosis and differentiation of liver cirrhosis caused by different types of liver vascular lesions is an important and difficult issue and needs careful attention in clinical practice. This article summarizes the association of portal vein lesion, hepatic vein lesion, hepatic sinusoid lesion, and hepatic artery lesion with liver cirrhosis. A deep understanding of the clinical manifestations, pathological features, and key points in differential diagnosis of these lesions helps with correct diagnosis and treatment of such disease.
