Grade and stage in chronic hepatitis

G P Jevon. Pediatr Dev Pathol. 2001 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

The liver biopsy is essential to the investigation and management of chronic liver disease. The pathologist provides an etiologic diagnosis, reports the grade of disease activity and stage of fibrosis, and comments on any response to therapy. Recent progress in our understanding of chronic hepatitis, its causes, prognosis, and therapy, has influenced the revision of its nomenclature and classification. The use of a descriptive or numerical scoring system allows the pathologist to provide reproducible, clinically relevant information in the surgical pathology report.
