Question
Answer

🗑
show Hepatic vein  
🗑
Components of the portal triad   show
🗑
Lobule   show
🗑
show Acute hepatitis  
🗑
show Viral (Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C)  
🗑
Inflammation and hepatocyte injury with biochemical or serological evidence of hepatitis for > 6 months   show
🗑
Etiology of acute hepatitis   show
🗑
(T or F) Hepatitis A is a common etiological agent of chronic hepatitis   show
🗑
A common cause of liver disease in the US. Common morphologic findings include: steatosis, hepatocyte necrosis, infiltrates of neutrophils, Mallory hyaline bodies, and sclerosing hyaline necrosis   show
🗑
A form of chronic liver disease with morphologic features of steatosis, hepatitis, and firbrosis. A major risk factor is obesity.   show
🗑
show Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)  
🗑
show Ulcerative colitis  
🗑
show Alternating strictures and dilatations and beading of intra and extraheptic bile ducts  
🗑
Chronic progressive inflammatory destruction of intrahepatic biliary tract leading to fibrosis and cirrhosis. Primariliy affects middle-aged females. Characterized by the presence of antimitochrondrial antibodies   show
🗑
show (1) Portal chronic inflammatory infiltrate (2) Lymphocyte infiltration of bile duct epithelium (3) Bile duct necrosis and destruction (4) Portal-based non-necrotizing granulomas  
🗑
Chemical agents that are directly toxic to some cellular components of the liver. Causes injury in virtually every exposed individual in a dose-related manner   show
🗑
Chemical agents with unpredictable liver toxicity. Produces liver injury in a small proportion of exposed individuals and does not exhibit a dose-related response   show
🗑
show Cirrhosis  
🗑
(T or F) Portal hypertension is a common finding in end-stage liver disease   show
🗑

🗑
show Angiosarcoma  
🗑
(T or F) Metastases occur with equal prevalence in both cirrohtic and non-cirrhotic livers   show
🗑
