Cirrhosis, light micrograph
Light micrograph of cirrhosis of a human liver. Cirrhosis is a liver dysfunction caused by the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) due to damage caused by liver disease. It is most commonly caused by alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic steatosis or hepatitis. Microscopically, its main features are the presence of regenerating nodules of hepatocytes and of fibrosis, or the deposition of connective tissue septa between these nodules., by JOSE CALVO / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
