This work presents reasoning about liver pathology. Liver pathology is an area of interest due to the growing
number of medical cases worldwide. The factors associated with the appearance of this pathology are those that relate to individual lifestyle. Liver pathology studies are performed up to the biomolecular level, involving cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1). With a normal liver, subject to aging and the aforementioned risk factors, there are changes in liver structure, which often can lead to changes arising from nonalcoholic hepatic steatosis (NASH). Under certain circumstances this degenerates into chronic hepatitis, which often goes undiagnosed and this can lead to liver cirrhosis. Due to gradual changes in the liver, medical interventions are often delayed. Importantly, structural analysis of microscopically processed liver fragments will reveal changes in all structural elements of the liver, from lipid loading in hepatic steatosis to inflammatory, necrotic, destructive, fibrotic changes in liver cirrhosis, including somewhat similar changes in types of chronic hepatitis. The presented images and the described structural changes in the liver are an important criterion for liver damage, including preclinical pathology.
