Histopathological diagnosis Pathology Irreversible loss of functioning hepatocyte
Histopathological diagnosis • Pathology 특징 · Irreversible loss of functioning hepatocyte · Extensive fibrosis · Formation of regenerative nodule • Irreversible? reversal of fibrosis 일부 가능. • Fibrosis 발달되어 architectural distortion + regenerative nodules 형성할 정도. hepatocellular mass와 function 저하, blood flow 변화 유도.
Fiborsis • • Hepatic stellate cells activation : fibrosis induction collagen과 다른 extracellular matrix 양 증가. 임상적 특성: pathologic changes의 결과로 간질환 정도 반영 Pathologic grading and staging (Advanced fibrosis) Bridging fibrosis with nodularity : stage 3 Cirrhosis : stage 4. Hepatocellular function 상실의 결과: jaundice, coagulation disorders, hypoalbuminemia, portosystemic encephalopathy.
Causes of Cirrhosis
Portal Hypertension The portal venous system : blood from the stomach, intestines, spleen, pancreas, and GB portal vein : confluence of the superior mesenteric and splenic veins hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) to >5 mm. Hg 상승 두 가지 hemodynamic processes (1) increased intrahepatic resistance to the passage of blood flow by cirrhosis and regenerative nodules (2) increased splanchnic blood flow secondary to vasodilation within the splanchnic vascular bed 2 major complications of cirrhosis (1) variceal hemorrhage life-threatening 20– 30% mortality (each) (2) ascites
Portal HTN 원인분류 Prehepatic Portal vein thrombosis Splenic vein thrombosis Massive splenomegaly (Banti's syndrome) Hepatic Presinusoidal Schistosomiasis Congenital hepatic fibrosis Sinusoidal Cirrhosis—many causes Alcoholic hepatitis Postsinusoidal Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction (venoocclusive syndrome) Posthepatic Budd-Chiari syndrome Inferior vena caval webs Cardiac causes Restrictive cardiomyopathy Constrictive pericarditis Severe congestive heart failure

Alcoholic cirrhosis • Excessive chronic alcohol use • Alcoholic fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis. • 동반시 liver damage 증가 : hepatitis C, hemochromatosis, fatty liver disease (obesity) • Chronic alcohol use can produce fibrosis (동반된 inflammation 이나 necrosis 없이). • Fibrosis : centrilobular, pericellular, periportal 모두 가능함 • Fibrosis 일정수준 : normal liver architecture 파괴 + liver cells의 regenerative nodules로 • Micronodular. : cessation • mixed micronodular and macronodular cirrhosis
Pathogenesis • Ethanol absorption : small intestine>> stomach • Gastric alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) : alcohol metabolism initiation. • Three enzyme system: liver내 alcohol metabolism - cytosolic ADH - microsomal-oxidizing system (MEOS), - peroxisomal catalase.
Highly reactive molecule
Effect of ethanol • Ethanol 섭취: 세포 내 triglycerides 증가시킴 (fatty acid uptake 증가, fatty acid oxidation 과 lipoprotein secretion 감소) • Oxidative damage to hepatocyte membranes by formation of reactive oxygen species; - Acetaldehyde : highly reactive molecule protein-acetaldehyde adducts형성. 특정 enzyme activities방해
Pathogenesis
• Acetaldehyde-mediated hepatocyte damage + certain reactive oxygen species Kupffer cell activation (profibrogenic cytokine 생산) stellate cell activation Production of excess collagen and ECM Connective tissue 가 periportal and pericentral zones 모두에서 regenerative nodule 1. Hepatocyte loss 2. Increased collagen production and deposition 3. Continuing hepatocyte destruction

Cirrhosis Due to Chronic Viral Hepatitis B or C • HCV exposure 80% develop chronic hepatitis C 20– 30% cirrhosis over 20– 30 years. concomitant alcohol use: only HCV ? HCV is a noncytopathic virus, probably immune-mediated. HCV genotype 3, steatosis is often present. • HBV exposed adult 5% develop chronic hepatitis B 20 -25% cirrhosis. • Chronic hepatitis C 간질환 악화의 특징: Portal-based fibrosis with bridging fibrosis and nodularity cirrhosis. • Mixed micro- and macronodular cirrhosis : Bx
