Correlation between intrahepatic pressure and histomorphological changes of the liver

Intrahepatic pressure was measured using 23 G Terumo Cathelin needles connected to a pressure transducer in 76 patients with viral liver disease, and compared with histomorphological changes of the liver. Intrahepatic pressure was significantly correlated with the degree of fibrosis, inflammation, n...

Summary:Intrahepatic pressure was measured using 23 G Terumo Cathelin needles connected to a pressure transducer in 76 patients with viral liver disease, and compared with histomorphological changes of the liver. Intrahepatic pressure was significantly correlated with the degree of fibrosis, inflammation, necrosis of the liver on light microscopy and the degree of collagen in the Disse space on electron microscopy. Especially, intrahepatic pressure was best correlated with the degree of fibrosis on light microscopy in this study (r=0.67, p<0.001).
