Characterization of pathomorphological variations of liver in young patients with chronic viral hepatitis C with different genotypes
The research involved 103 patients with chronic viral hepatitis C (CVH-C) with genotypes 1b and 3a. Age of patients with mentioned genotypes and duration of the disease didn't vary significantly. The data for the following is presented: intensity of such СVH-C anatomical phenomena as adipose degeneration and albuminous degeneration; alteration of biliary ducts; frequency of occurrence of lymphoid follicles; and manifestation degree of fibrosis. There was made a conclusion about predominance of pathological process activity in cases with genotype 3a HCV, as distinct from genotype 1b, due to periportal necrosises and prevalence of lymph-histiocytic infiltration of septs.
