Ductular reaction in hereditary hemochromatosis: The link between hepatocyte senescence and fibrosis progression
26 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The development of portal fibrosis following the iron loading of hepatocytes is the first stage of fibrogenesis in hereditary hemochromatosis. In other chronic liver diseases it has been shown that a ductular reaction (DR) appears early, correlates with fibrosis progression, and is a consequence of activation of an alternative pathway of hepatocyte replication. This study was designed to investigate...
