characteristic. Outcomes.
•2. Massive necrosis of the liver. Definition. The reasons for the development. Stages, their macro-and microscopic
characteristics. Outcomes.
•3. Hepatitises. Definition. Classification: by pathogenesis, by etiology, by flow. Parameters of chronic hepatitis (etiology,
degree of histological activity of the process, stage of the disease):a) acute viral hepatitis. Definition. Forms: hepatitis A,
B, C, D and others. Transmission routes for hepatitis A and E, hepatitis B, C and D. Periods of acute hepatitis, and
timing. Clinical and morphological forms, their macro-and microscopic characteristics.Histological features of hepatitis
C. Outcomes depending on the form of hepatitis.b) chronic hepatitis. Definition. Classification: by etiology, by
development conditions, by the nature of inflammatory changes. Morphological characteristic. Criteria for the activity of
chronic hepatitis. Systemic manifestations of chronic hepatitis.
•4. Cirrhosis. Definition. Classification: by etiology, according to the macroscopic picture, in the microscopic picture, on
morphogenesis. The concept of cirrhosis activity (according to histological research, clinical manifestations, results of
biochemical research), the stage of the disease:
•a) postnecrotic cirrhosis of the liver. Etiopathogenesis. Rate of development. Macro-and microscopic characteristics.
Morphological feature. Outcomes;
•b) portal cirrhosis of the liver. Reasons. Rate of development. Macro-and microscopic characteristics. Distinctive
feature;
•c) mixed cirrhosis of the liver (a combination of manifestations of postnecrotic and portal cirrhosis of the liver);
•d) biliary cirrhosis of the liver. Types (primary, secondary). Causes (autoimmune reactions, long-term cholestasis of the
bile ducts due to gallstone disease, fibrotic-indurative pancreatitis, strictures of the bile ducts, tumors of the
hepatopancreoduodenal zone, malformations of the bile ducts, etc.).
•Clinical manifestations of cirrhosis of the liver – portal hypertension syndrome (ascites, congestive splenomegaly,
varicose veins of the lower third of the esophagus and the cardiac Department of the stomach, middle and lower
hemorrhoidal veins, veins of the anterior abdominal wall), hepatic cell insufficiency (jaundice, encephalopathy,
hepatorenal syndrome, coagulopathy, hypoalbuminemia, endocrine disorders).
•Complications of liver cirrhosis (hepatic coma, bleeding from varicose veins of the esophagus and / or stomach,
hemorrhoid veins, ascites-peritonitis, portal vein thrombosis, development of hepatocellular carcinoma).
•5. Alcoholic liver disease (alcoholic steatosis, alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic liver fibrosis, alcoholic liver cirrhosis). Acute
alcoholic massive liver necrosis as a result of alcohol poisoning and its surrogates.
•2. Gall-stone disease. Definition. Composition of bile stones (cholesterol, pigment, calcium, mixed). Complications of
bile duct blockage (subhepatic jaundice, pancreatitis, intestinal obstruction, fistulas between the small intestine and bile
ducts, liver abscesses, secondary biliary cirrhosis, gallbladder cancer). Manifestations of subhepatic jaundice in the
Orofacial area (yellowish-green spots on the lower surface of the tongue and soft palate, petechiae on the oral mucosa
and on the skin, skin scratches).Cholecystitis. Definition. Types (acute, chronic).Acalculous cholecystitis. Causes
(stress, operations, massive injuries). Acute cholecystitis. Types (catarrhal, phlegmonous, gangrenous), their
morphological characteristics. Complications (empyema of the gallbladder, perforation with bile peritonitis).
