Abstract:
Liver fibrogenesis is a common pathway of pathological progression of chronic liver injuries. The diagnosis of liver fibrosis provides an important basis for treatment decision-making and prognostic evaluation of chronic liver diseases. With the rapid development of therapeutics, many new clinical issues have emerged, which requires new techniques for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis. At present, histological assessment remains the most reliable method for a definite diagnosis of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. With reference to related clinical articles and data, this article analyzes the clinical value and research directions of histological assessment in chronic liver disease management and diagnosis of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis and its reversal.
