Liver Fibrosis Assessment

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2021
Early diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis (HF) is pivotal for management to cease progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HF is the telltale sign of chronic liver disease, and confirmed by liver biopsy, which is an invasive technique and inclined to sampling errors.

Liver fibrosis

Biochemical Journal, 2008
Liver damage leads to an inflammatory response and to the activation and proliferation of mesenchymal cell populations within the liver which remodel the extracellular matrix as part of an orchestrated wound-healing response. Chronic damage results in a progressive accumulation of scarring proteins (fibrosis) that, with increasing severity, alters ...

Liver fibrosis quantification

Abdominal Radiology, 2022
Liver fibrosis (LF) is the wound healing response to chronic liver injury. LF is the endpoint of chronic liver disease (CLD) regardless of etiology and the single most important determinant of long-term liver-related clinical outcomes. Quantification of LF is important for staging, to evaluate response to treatment and to predict outcomes.

Regression of Liver Fibrosis

Seminars in Liver Disease, 2017
Liver fibrosis is the final common pathway of chronic or iterative liver damage. Advanced chronic fibrosis is described as cirrhosis with a loss of architecture and attendant functional failure and the development of life-threatening complications. However, compelling evidence from rodent models and human studies indicates that if the injury is removed

Pathogenesis of Liver Fibrosis

Clinical Science, 1997
1. Liver fibrosis is a common sequel to diverse liver injuries. It is characterized by an accumulation of interstitial collagens and other matrix components. The hepatic stellate cell is pivotal to the pathogenic process. Fibrotic liver injury results in activation of the hepatic stellate cell which undergoes a phenotypic change to a proliferative ...

Pathogenesis of Liver Fibrosis

Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanisms of Disease, 2011
Liver fibrosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide due to chronic viral hepatitis and, more recently, from fatty liver disease associated with obesity. Hepatic stellate cell activation represents a critical event in fibrosis because these cells become the primary source of extracellular matrix in liver upon injury. Use of cell-culture

Liver fibrosis

Springer Seminars in Immunopathology, 1999
Knowledge on the development and progression of liver fibrosis has grown exponentially in the past decade. At present, liver fibrogenesis is referred to as a dynamic process involving complex cellular and molecular mechanisms, resulting from the chronic activation of the tissue repair mechanisms that follows reiterated liver tissue injury.

Alcohol and Liver Fibrosis

Seminars in Liver Disease, 2009
Alcoholic liver disease involves significant crosstalk among intracellular signaling events in the liver. Overall, inflammatory and innate immune responses in Kupffer cells due to elevated gut-derived plasma endotoxin levels, increased reactive oxygen species-induced damage, and profibrogenic factors such as acetaldehyde or lipid peroxidation products ...

Mechanisms of liver fibrosis

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2006
Liver fibrosis represents a significant health problem worldwide of which no acceptable therapy exists. The most characteristic feature of liver fibrosis is excess deposition of type I collagen. A great deal of research has been performed to understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for the development of liver fibrosis.

Pathophysiology of Liver Fibrosis

Digestive Diseases, 2015
Progressive accumulation of fibrillar extracellular matrix (ECM) in the liver is the consequence of reiterated liver tissue damage due to infective (mostly hepatitis B and C viruses), toxic/drug-induced, metabolic and autoimmune causes, and the relative chronic activation of the wound-healing reaction. The process may result in clinically evident liver
