Pathological features of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis caused by different factors / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Liver fibrosis/cirrhosis is a pathological process which involves increased deposition of extracellular matrix in liver tissues and changes in liver tissue structure induced by the persistent action of various factors causing liver injury. This article introduces the features of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis caused by different factors. Identifying the etiology and evaluating the degree of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis with reference to their histological characteristics are of great importance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
