This article deals with medical liver disease. An introduction to the liver and approach is found in the liver article.

Every differential in liver pathology has "drugs"[1] -- if it isn't clearly malignancy.

Liver neoplasms are dealt with in the liver neoplasms article.

Viral hepatitis

These are common. The diagnoses are based on serology. The serology is covered in the viral hepatitis section in the liver pathology article.

Typically classified as:[2][3]

  1. Acute < 6 months duration.
  2. Chronic > 6 months duration.

Hepatitis A

  • Infection is self-limited, i.e. not persistent.
  • Usually asymptomatic in children.[4]
  • Serology is diagnostic.

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B virus, abbreviated HBV, redirects here.

General

Associated pathology:

Microscopic

Features:

  • Lobular inflammation - this is non-specific finding.
    • Hepatocyte necrosis:
      • Necrotic hepatocytes look a lot like neutrophils - however:
        • Cytoplasm is more pink.
        • Round apoptotic bodies.
  • Ground glass hepatocytes - see liver pathology article.

IHC

Hepatitis C

General

  • Leads to hepatocellular carcinoma in the setting of cirrhosis.
  • Tends to be chronic; the "C" in "hepatitis C" stands for chronic.
  • Diagnosis is by serology.

Associated pathology:

Microscopic

Features:

  • Lobular inflammation - this is non-specific finding.
    • Usually Grade 1, rarely Grade 2 and almost never Grade 3 or Grade 4.[5]
  • Periportal steatosis in genotype 3.[6]
    • Steatosis in hepatitis C is usually a secondary pathology, i.e. a separate pathologic process.[7]

DDx:

Other infections

  • Hydatid disease (Hydatid cyst).
  • Ascaris.
  • Fasciola

Hydatid disease

  • AKA hydatid cyst.

General

Microscopic

Features:

  • Liver cyst wall - intermed. mag. (WC)

  • Liver cyst wall - high mag. (WC)

  • Characteristic laminated portion - intermed. mag. (WC)

Metabolic and toxic

Alcoholic liver disease

General

  • Acute and/or chronic liver changes due to excessive alcohol use - includes:
    • Alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH), AKA alcoholic hepatitis.[9]
      • Alcoholic hepatitis can be with minimal steatosis.[10]
    • Steatosis - classically macrovescicular and centrilobular.
    • Alcoholic cirrhosis.

Classic lab findings in EtOH abusers

  • AST & ALT elevated with AST:ALT=2:1.
  • GGT elevated.
  • MCV increased.

Gross pathology/radiologic findings

  • Classically micronodular pattern.
    • May be macronodular.

Microscopic

See:

Features:

  • Often zone III damage.
  • Cholestatsis common, i.e. yellow staining.
    • NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) usu. does not have cholestasis.[11]
  • Fibrosis starts at central veins.
  • Neutrophils (often helpful) -- few other things have PMNs. (???)
    • Neutrophils cluster around cells with Mallory hyaline.

Notes:

  • If portal inflammatory infiltrates more than mild, r/o other causes i.e. viral hepatitis.
  • Mallory bodies once thought to be characteristic; now considered non-specific and generally poorly understood.[12]
  • Some consider alcoholic liver disease a clinical diagnosis, i.e. as a pathologist one does not diagnose it.[13]

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

  • Abbreviated NAFLD.
  • Fatty liver that is not due to alcohol; includes obesity-related fatty liver, metabolic disease/diabetes-related fatty liver.

NASH

  • Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis - see steatohepatitis section.
  • Histologically indistinguishable from ASH.
  • NASH is a clinical diagnosis based on exclusion of alcohol.

Steatohepatitis

General

  • Steatohepatitis is a label for a set of histopathologic findings.
  • Fat accumulation in hepatocytes.
    • It may be a pattern seen in drug toxicity, e.g. methotrexate toxicity.[14]

Etiology:

  1. Alcohol = alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH).
  2. Not alcohol = non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
  3. Drug/toxin.[15]

Notes:

  • Pathologists can comment on the etiology; however, the histomorphology is not distinctive. In other words, ASH and NASH are clinical diagnoses.
  • Steatohepatitis is a misnomer. It is not an -itis; inflammation is not the (predominant) pathologic process.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Steatosis (usually macrovesicular) - key feature.
    • If less than 10% ... consider alt. diagnosis/disease process.
  • Hepatocyte injury:
    • Ballooning degeneration - key feature (see introduction to liver).
    • Mallory bodies.
      • Mallory body wannabes: "occasional cytoplasmic clumping".
  • +/-Chicken-wire perisinusoidal fibrosis +/- zone III (centrilobular) fibrosis (early).
    • Late-stage disease - portal bridging.[16]

Image: Steatohepatitis (WC).

DDx:

Grading steatohepatitis

Grading inflammation:[17]

  • Grade 1 - steatosis, occasional ballooning degeneration, PMNs.
  • Grade 2 - obvious ballooning, obvious PMNs, chronic inflammation.
  • Grade 3 - panacinar steatosis.

Autoimmune

Autoimmune hepatitis

Main article: Autoimmune hepatitis

Primary biliary cirrhosis

  • Abbreviated PBC.

General

Epidemiology:

Etiology:

  • Autoimmune.

Serology:

Classic presentation:

  • Pruritis.

Pathophysiology:

  • Septal bile duct attacked.

Treatment:

  • Ursodeoxycholic acid.
  • May be indication for transplant.

Microscopic

Features:

  • "Florid duct lesion":[20]
    • Intraepithelial lymphocytes - in bile duct - key feature.
    • Bile duct epithelial cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm.[21]
  • Plasma cells.
  • Granulomas - close to bile duct.
    • Seen in classic presentation -- often not present or poorly formed.
  • Focal damage (may be missed on biopsy -- due to sampling).
  • "Garland" cirrhosis -- has irregular border (unlike in EtOH).
    • Garland originally "wreath of flowers" (in French).[22]

DDx:[23]

Notes:

  • PAS stain useful for examining basement membrane... which is lost in PBC.
  • Lobular inflammation should be minimal.

Images

Staging PBC

PBC is staged according to Ludwig:[25]

  • Stage 1: Portal - inflammation or bile duct abnormalities.
  • Stage 2: Periportal - periportal fibrosis (enlargement of portal tracts) +/- inflammation.
  • Stage 3: Septal - septal fibrosis +/-inflammation in septa.
  • Stage 4: Cirrhosis - nodules of hepatocytes +/- inflammation.

Notes:

  • There can be significant variation in staging on biopsy - due to variability of fibrosis in a PBC liver.[26]
    • "Worst area" in biopsy specimen is used to determine stage.

Autoimmune hepatitis-primary biliary cirrhosis overlap syndrome

  • Abbreviation AIH-PBC OS.

General

Epidemiology:

  • Rare.

Serology:[27]

  • AMA +ve.
  • Anti-dsDNA +ve.

Microscopic

See: autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cirrhosis.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis

  • Abbreviated PSC.
  • AKA pericholangitis; considered a synonym for small duct PSC.[28]

General

Serology:

  • p-ANCA (MPO-ANCA) +ve in ~ 90% of cases.[31]

Diagnosis

  • Diagnosed radiologically.
  • Liver biopsy is rarely useful diagnostically[32] - as the disease may be patchy.
    • The utility of the biopsy is staging.

Treatment

  • None very good.
  • May be indication for transplant.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Classic: "onion-skinning" - cells layer around the bile ducts; "onion skin" present in approx. 40% of cases.[33]
    • Not pathognomonic for PSC[33] - but not too much else looks like this on microscopy (ergo good fellowship exam question).
  • +/-Ductopenia.
  • +/-Ductal proliferation.

DDx:

  • Big.

Images:

Notes:

  • PSC often has minimal inflammation.[36]

Staging

Features:[37]

  • Stage I - focal portal inflammation, +/- duct abnormalities, no fibrosis.
  • Stage II - portal enlargement (fibrosis), +/- inflammation.
  • Stage III - bridging fibrosis + necrosis.
  • Stage IV - cirrhosis.

Notes:

  • Similar to PBC staging.

Hereditary

Caroli disease

Hereditary hemochromatosis

For secondary causes see secondary hemochromatosis.

General

Epidemiology:

  • Genetic defect - HFE gene.[45]
    • One mutation (C282Y mutation) in up to 12.5% of people in populations of northern and central European origin.[46]
    • Homozygotes get the disease.[45]
  • Onset in males earlier than females (due to menses).
  • Mutation thought to confer survival advantage - several theories (increased resistance to TB, S. typhi vs. decreased iron deficiency/increased iron absorption).[46]

Associated pathology (mnemonic: hemochromatosis can cause deposits anywhere):[47][48]

Pathophysiology:

Microscopic

Features:

  • Periportal iron deposition (early).
    • Late stage disease has diffuse iron deposition.
  • Brown granular - may vaguely look like lipofuscin on H&E.

Notes:

  • Iron in the bile ducts and endothelium used to be though specific of hereditary hemochromatosis.[51]
    • It is now thought to just reflect the severity of iron deposition, i.e. if the bile ducts and endothelium have iron - it is severe.

DDx - secondary hemochromatosis:

Images

  • Hemosiderosis - iron stain. (WC)

www:

Stains

Iron stain +ve -- important.

  • Light blue haze is not enough.
    • Must be separated from siderosis -- iron in Kupffer cells.

Molecular

Wilson disease

General

Epidemiology:

  • Rare autosomal recessive - mutation in copper-transporting adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) gene (ATP7B).[52][53]

Clinical:

  • Kayser-Fleischer rings --> on slit-lamp examination (green eyes).
  • May present to psychiatry or appear to be abusing EtOH.
  • Serum ceruloplasmin - lower than normal.

Etiology:

  • Excess copper -- due to genetic defect.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Nothing specific - known as the great mimicker of live pathology.
  • Steatosis.
  • Portal fibrosis.

Stains

  • Copper staining positive - only 15% of cases.
    • Other stains: rhodinine (red/orange granules = positive), orecin.

Notes:

  • Copper staining is a non-specific finding seen in many liver diseases; it is associated with impaired bile secretion.[54]

Additional testing

  • Mass spectrometry - determine portion of copper.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

  • AKA alpha1-antiprotease inhibitor deficiency.
