Structural and functional features of lipid-containing hepatocytes in hepatitis C

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2012 Sep;153(5):787-90. doi: 10.1007/s10517-012-1827-0.

Abstract

Pathomorphological studies of lipid-containing hepatocytes included in the system of major markers of hepatitis C showed that the phase of hepatitis C virus replication (PCR data) corresponds to subplasmalemmal microvesicular steatosis of hepatocytes.
