## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) represents a spectrum of proliferative and/or cytologically atypical lesions of the large intrahepatic bile ducts. BilIN is believed to be a major pathway leading to the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) throug
In patients with chronic hepatitis C, alcohol consumption has been proposed as a risk factor for the progression of liver disease; however, evidence for this remains conflicting. Two hundred thirty-four anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV)positive patients who had a liver biopsy performed within the past 24
Liver biopsy samples from 40 chronic alcoholic patients, including 9 with minimal changes of the liver, 6 with mild hepatic fibrosis, 14 with moderate fibrosis, and 11 with severe fibrosis (cirrhosis) were studied by electron microscopy to assess fibrogenesis in the Disse space and the role of fat-s
Cholestatic liver diseases, such as cystic fibrosis (CF) liver disease and biliary atresia, predominate as causes of childhood cirrhosis. Despite diverse etiologies, the stereotypic final pathway involves fibrogenesis where hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are recruited, producing excess collagen which
