Kh Kh Mansurov, and G K Mirodzhov

Proceeding from a clinicofunctional and morphological analysis of the liver state in 367 patients with different variants of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), the authors presented obligatory and optional morphological features of alcoholic hepatitis (AH); possible diagnostic difficulties of AH were considered. Two types-stages of alcoholic fibrosis--perivenous and pericellular fibrosis and chronic centrolobular sclerosis were proposed. Chronic active hepatitis of alcoholic etiology was considered as a nosological entity, different interrelationships of alcohol and hepatitis B virus were shown in ALD genesis.
