24
Q

What is the cell that causes fibrosis of the liver?

A

Stellate cells

25

Associated with ulcerative colitis

p-ANCA in 80% of cases

44
Q

What is this an image of?

45
Q

What is Gilbert syndrome?

A

Mutation in the UGT gene - decreased levels - leads to decreased ability to conjugate bilirubin

46
