“…Between them there are an infinite number of intermediate stages. Some of these t r a n s i t i o n a l conditions already have names such as: subacute hepatic necrosis (7) type (15), chronic nonsuppurative cholangitis (16) and even something called early cirrhosis (15). Somewhere along this spectrum, the clinical features of cirrhosis develop, although full distortion of morphologic cirrhosis may not be present at this point, yet, ultimately, it too is likely to appear.…”

Cirrhosis is an irreversible end-stage liver disease characterized by septate scars dividing a distorted liver into nodules. It generates through a sequence of dynamic changes and once it develops, it may alter its appearance through variations in secondary factors, such as injury and nutrition. The different classification schemes have, unfortunately, only served to make cirrhosis static in our thinking. Stationary morphologic characteristics are of value only if they can be correlated with etiology.

“…A number of factors may precipitate hepatic coma, including hemor rhage, infection, abdominal paracentesis, surgical procedures, sedation, ammonium-containing resins or substances liberating ammonia (177). In the study of 20 cases of cirrhosis with hepatic coma, however, Foulk et al (1 77) found that 14 showed evidence of recent parenchymal damage at autopsy.…”
