[Morphological abnormalities in liver cirrhosis].

Cirrhosis is the consequence of diverse and repeated insults to the liver which induce hepatocellular necrosis and degeneration. Hepatic cirrhosis is the end-stage of several hepatopathies and represents a good example of abnormal regeneration and healing. In this manuscript, the author describe and analyze the so-called micro and macro nodular cirrhosis and the differential diagnosis among congenital hepatic fibrosis, alcoholic diffuse interstitial fibrosis, nodular regenerative hyperplasia, and idiopathic portal hypertension.
