What Is a Liver Nodule?

Liver nodules are caused by the proliferation of fibrous tissue of the liver due to various factors and the disorder of the arrangement of the liver trabeculae. When a patient with hepatitis B has severe liver damage, he may have symptoms of liver nodules. Once a patient's body has nodules, it means that the liver has begun to fibrosis. Liver nodular lesions are divided into liver nodular regenerative hyperplasia, focal liver nodular hyperplasia, partial nodular liver-like degeneration, cirrhosis, and hepatic adenoma.

Nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver (NRH) was reported by Strimyer and lshak in 1981 and is a rare disease. Previously called liver nodularity, miliary hepatoma, non-sclerotic liver nodules or non-sclerotic portal hypertension Small hepatocyte nodules are diffusely distributed throughout the liver. There is no fibrous tissue surrounding the nodules, and fibrosis is slight or non-fibrotic, which can be distinguished from cirrhosis. This disease often occurs in elderly patients,

Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver

liver (FNH), reported by Rogers in 1981, is a rare benign lesion that was previously named as focal sclerosis, focal nodular sclerosis, solitary proliferative nodule or solitary nodular regenerative hyperplasia. The disease can occur at any age, and is common in women (80%).

The cause of this disease is unknown. Congenital

Partial nodular transformation of the liver Partial nodular transformation of the liver

Liver cirrhosis is a common chronic liver disease that can cause liver damage from one or more causes. The liver is progressive, diffuse, and fibrous. Specific manifestations are diffuse degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes, followed by fibrous tissue proliferation and nodular regeneration of hepatocytes. These three changes are repeatedly repeated. As a result, the structure of the hepatic lobules and blood circulation pathways are gradually modified, which deforms and hardens the liver Causes cirrhosis. The disease has no obvious symptoms in the early stages, and a series of portal hypertension and

Hepatoadenomas, also known as hepatocellular adenomaHCA, are rare benign tumors of the liver. There were few reports in the literature before the 1960s, but later reports of hepatic adenomas gradually increased. The reason may be related to the increase in the use of contraceptives.
