Steatous Changes In Hepatocytes In Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C

Abstract

The main consequences of progressing of a chronic hepatitis C are a cirrhosis of a liver and hepatocellular carcinoma. Considering that for last years number of cases of CHC disease among population of the world has essentially increased, creation of adequate methods of an estimation of morphological and metabolic shifts in a liver tissue at CHC is the important clin-ical problem. Aim: to determine the morphological features of steatosis in patients with CHC and assess its effect on the progression of hepatitis. Materials and methods. Under supervision there were 46 CHC patients in the age of 19–66 years, 36 men and 10 – women. Liver biopsy was carried out under the control of ultrasonic research with local anesthesia.
