Pathological changes of liver congestion

The pathological changes of liver congestion are various adverse factors leading to hepatic venous blood circulation disorder, which in turn causes blood stasis in the liver due to increased vascular pressure, causing hepatomegaly, liver cell damage and other liver damage.

Patients with right heart failure or hepatic vein compression and blockage by stones, tumors, will cause hepatic venous blood circulation disorder, resulting in increased vascular resistance, due to blood can not be discharged normally, will cause passive congestion of central veins and blood sinuses in hepatic lobules, resulting in hepatomegaly, liver cell damage and necrosis. Chronic liver congestion patients may occur fatty degeneration due to prolonged involvement of liver cells around the lesion.

Liver congestion is not an independent disease. Patients with liver congestion should be diagnosed in a timely manner laboratory examination, imaging examination and other medical examinations to clarify the cause, and timely receive clinical treatment to prevent liver function damage.
