[Etiology of chronic diffuse liver damages].

Patients with chronic diffuse liver damages have cases of chronic hepatitis associated with alcoholic liver disease being transformed to cirrhosis 2.1 times more often when having mostly equal frequency of chronic damage of viral and alcoholic origin on the stage of chronic hepatitis or in the case of pure viral damage against a background of significant prevalence (3 times) of viral etiology. Infection associated with HCV in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis doesn't significantly influence the course of disease, aftereffects and prognosis of patients.
