AbstractA Study of cirrhotic liver associated with extra hepatic vasculogenesis and splenomegaly in Cadavers: with Clinical Correlation.
Background: Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver damage and inflammation and it is characterised by diffuse hepatic fibrosis and normal liver structures being replaced by regenerative liver nodules.7 Liver fibrosis in advanced states is critically important in the increased resistance, which leads into portal hypertension and splenomegaly. Aims and Objectives: To observe the prevalence of cirrhotic liver in south Indian population. To observe the association of cirrhotic liver with extra hepatic vasculogenesis and
splenomegaly. Materials and Methods: Observational descriptive study. 30 adult human embalmed cadavers were used for the study. Results and Conclusion: Out of 30 cadavers one cadaver showed morphological changes of cirrhotic liver associated with splenomegaly. Prevalence of cirrhotic liver was 0.03%.
