Morphological disorders of the liver depending on the bilirubin count in patients with obstructive jaundice

Abstract

30 obstructive jaundice (OJ) patients were subdivided into three groups. Group I included patients with a bilirubin count less than 100 μmol/l, Group II consisted of patients with hyperbilirubinemia from 100 to 200 μmol/l, and Group III included patients with a bilirubin count over 200 μmol/l. Morphological disorders of the liver in OJ patients with a bilirubin count less than 100 μmol/l were reversed. In OJ patients with hyperbilirubinemia from 100 to 200 μmol/l, structural disorders in the liver had both a reversible and an irreversible course. Morphological hepatic disorders in OJ patients with a bilirubin count over 200 μmol/l was observed the irreversible course.
