33. Equine infectious anaemia Flashcards
pathological processes preceding liver cirrhosis
harm inducing
regressive changes
repeated
recurring
long lasting
what replaces the necrotised hepatocytes
connective tissue containing collagen fibres
3 types of liver fibrosis
biliary
multifocal
diffuse
3 components to liver cirrhosis
preceded by extensive hepatocyte degeneration
CT replaces lost hepatocytes
eroneous hepatocyte regeneration (hypotonia)
2 forms of liver cirrhosis
atrophic
hypertrophic
atrophic liver cirrhosis
degeneration of parenchyma
proliferation of cy
regeneration doesnt compensate the decrease of volume
hypertrophic liver cirrhosis
no definite hepatocyte destruction
sinusoid- endothel, kupffer, ito cells are degenerated
plant toxins, endemia
granular cirrhosis
liver smaller
sharp edges
uneven surface
firm
greyish-yellowish nodules in ct
histopath completely changed
histopath of granular cirrhosis
pseudolobules
erroneous hepatocyte columns
post necrotic cirrhosis
larger regenerative islets - lobata
adenoma like nodules - tuberosa
consequence of cirrhosis
impaired hepatic function
compression of portal veins
development of collateral blood vessels
posthepatic & hepatotoxic icterus
congestion
hepatoencephalopathy
