Pathological features of hepatic vascular diseases and key points in differential diagnosis / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Hepatic vascular diseases are a group of heterogeneous diseases which affect blood circulation in the liver. Although hepatic vascular diseases have a low incidence rate, they remain an important cause of portal hypertension. Patients often develop these diseases at a younger age, and misdiagnosis and/or mistreatment may greatly reduce their life expectancy. A good understanding of clinical manifestations, imaging features, and pathological features of hepatic vascular diseases is of vital importance in clarifying diagnosis and developing reasonable treatment strategies. This article introduces the pathological features of common hepatic vascular diseases and key points in differential diagnosis.
