steatohepatitis Flashcards
steatohepatitis
presence of hepatocellular inflammation with steasosis in hepatocytes
can lead onto fibrosis cirrhosis and its commplications
disruption of liver architecture
immune mediated mechanism
through inate inflammatory cells such as neutrophils ad mnocyte and asaptive immune cells with include t cells
oxidative stress
inflammation cause ox stress and release of increase TNF alpha IL6 and IL1beta stellate cell activatin ncrease in reative oxygen species increase in NEFA oxidation ER stress
histology
ballooning hepatocytes steatosis inflammation lobular inflammatory cell infilteration fibrosis
two hit hypothesis
first hit : steatosis sensitisizes liver to inflammatory induction
insult promotes oxidative stress resulting steatohepatitis
other things..
increase in adiopocytes in size, hypertrophy eventuallyresults in rupture and recruits inflammatory cells to site
this stimulations adiopcytokine production
abberant immune response activtion
inflammation which impairs nsulin to inhibit free fatty acids causing accumulation in liver and results in liptoxicity
insulianceresistance and low grad inflam
gut dysbiosis mech
dybosis in gut with liposacchride of acteria which causes nflammation nd macrophage polarisation
colonic inmmune fibrosis
cause by dysbiosis where tlr4 binds to LPS and inducts dimersation
and signalling cascade is activation
prdcution of inflammation cytokines tnfalpha resulting ijn fibrosis of liver
how alcohol works
alcohol can increase gut permeability, increase LPS and bacterial transplocation into the blood, ncrease steatosis n liver
macrophages are marker of neutorpil of activation
