Clinical aspects of incomplete septal cirrhosis in comparison with macronodular cirrhosis

Cirrhosis reversal: a duel between dogma and myth

“…Cirrhosis appears in a broad spectrum of variants: early cirrhosis, fully developed cirrhosis, active and inactive cirrhosis, micronodular, macronodular and mixed micromacronodular cirrhosis, and incomplete septal cirrhosis [62,63]. More than one study has documented the conversion of micronodular into macronodular cirrhosis, especially when the causative agent could be eliminated and the necro-inflammatory parenchymal damage reduced [29,64] Wanless et al [48] published an extensive (and controversial: see editorials [65 -68]) study on the regression of human cirrhosis.…”

Liver Pathology: Cirrhosis, Hepatitis, and Primary Liver Tumors. Update and Diagnostic Problems

“…In another rare type of cirrhosis, called incomplete septal cirrhosis, extremely thin bands of collagen partially or totally separate hepatocytic nodules (1,2). Some disorganized cell plates or zones resembling foci of nodular regenerative hyperplasia can be seen (see section below on partial nodular transformation).…”

Orthotopic Liver Transplantation for Idiopathic Portal Hypertension: Indications and Outcome

“…The prognosis of IPH largely depends on the existence of complications of portal hypertension, especially gastrointestinal bleeding. Such complications are usually controlled by medical treatment and rarely require surgical portosystemic shunting (3)(4)(5)(6). In a very few patients, orthotopic liver transplantation has been required because of the occurrence of life-threatening complications of portal hypertension or severe hepatocellular insuf ciency (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14).…”
