Combination of HCV-infection and alcoholic liver disease is associated with enhancement of hepatocellular damage (lipid and hydropic degeneration become diffuse), a decrease of hepatocyte necrotic foci and lymphomacrophagal infiltration, an increase of hepatocyte apoptosis and liver fibrosis, absence of lymphoid follicles. An important role in the genesis of these liver alterations is attributed to the combination of viral and alcoholic factors with persistence of hepatitis C virus and liver reticulo-endothelial system depression.

D008108 Liver Diseases, Alcoholic Liver diseases associated with ALCOHOLISM. It usually refers to the coexistence of two or more subentities, i.e., ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER; ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS; and ALCOHOLIC CIRRHOSIS. Alcoholic Liver Diseases,Alcoholic Liver Disease,Liver Disease, Alcoholic
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
