On comparison of histological qualities in two consecutive series of liver biopsies all exhibiting cirrhosis and fatty change, one with and one without Mallory bodies, the morphological activity (measured by the number of disintegrated liver cells and inflammatory reaction) is found convincingly greater in the series with Mallory bodies. While the degree of cirrhosis measured by the degree of fibrosis is not significantly different in the two series, the degree of destroyed architecture is more pronounced in biopsies with Mallory bodies. The possible reasons for this difference are discussed. |
