Abstract

Hepatitis and liver cirrhosis are progressive liver disorders that represent leading causes of global morbidity and mortality. The progression from initial hepatic injury to end-stage disease is characterized by distinct histopathological alterations. This review aims to delineate the key histological features of hepatitis and cirrhosis and correlate these morphological changes with their consequent impact on liver function and systemic health.
