Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) covers a spectrum of lesions ranging from steatosis (Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver or NAFL) to a complex pattern with hepatocellular injury and inflammation (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis; NASH) in the absence of alcohol intake. However, it is increasingly clear that intermediate patterns may exist. The histopathological evaluation of liver biopsy samples i...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is recognized as the leading cause of chronic liver disease in adults and children. NAFLD encompasses a spectrum of liver injuries ranging from steatosis to steatohepatitis with or without fibrosis. Fibrosis may progress to cirrhosis and complications including hepatocellular carcinoma. Histologic findings represent the complexity of pathophysiology. NAF...

Cranial Arteritis With Liver Involvement • An elderly man with cranial nerve palsies was found to have cranial arteritis. Laboratory studies established concurrent liver disease which improved with treatment. The liver and brain stem pathology is discussed. ADDITIONAL

In recent years, it has been an explosion of information regarding the role of various myeloid cells in liver pathology. Macrophages and dendritic cell (DC) play crucial roles in multiple chronic liver diseases such as fibrosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The complexity of myeloid cell populations and the missing exclusive marker combination make the interpretation of the dat...
