[Fibroplastic reactions in liver pathology]. / Fibroblastische Reaktionen in der Leberpathologie.

The connective tissue in liver biopsies from 880 patients with acute and chronic liver diseases was studied by means of the modern morphological methods--histochemistry, histoenzymology and electronmicroscopy. It was found that various forms of liver fibrosis (intralobular, portal and septal ones) accompany liver pathology with various frequency. They are of different value in the clinical manifestation and development, in diagnostics and prognostic estimates in each case.
