[Immunomorphological studies of chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis]. 1978

M Tsoneva, and P Ilieva, and G Kuvandzhiev

The authors carried out clincial and immunomorphologic studies on 15 patients with chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis with unknown etiology. The presence of specific sensibilization of lymphocytes of the patients to liver tissue was examined by blast-transformation test. For this purpose they compared immunomorphologic response to lymphocytes in culture from peripheral blood to liver and renal antigen, using parallel procedure with FHA and cultures, growing spontaneously. Ten clinically healthy and 12 persons with renal polycystosis were examined as controls. The results showed an increased immune response to lymphocytes of the patient with liver cirrhosis to liver antigen as well as to culture, developing spontaneously, which suggested that autoimmune reaction with specific tendency to antigens of liver developed in these persons.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
