Liver Fibrosis

Hepatic fibrosis refers to the excessive deposition of fibrous connective tissue in the liver, which is the result of imbalance in fibroproliferation and fibrosis. Fibrous hyperplasia is a body's repair response to damage. Repeated or persistent chronic parenchymal inflammation and necrosis caused by various causes can lead to continuous fibrous liver proliferation and liver fibrosis. From the clinical and pathological evolution of many chronic liver diseases, especially chronic viral hepatitis, liver fibrosis is a necessary stage for the development of chronic liver disease to cirrhosis. It is believed that liver fibrosis is still likely to be reversed, while liver cirrhosis is not.
