The possibility of reversibility of liver fibrosis under the influence of complex treatment

Abstract

Endogenous intoxication is a pathological process that develops with the predominance of the formation or intake of toxins over their excretion. Pathological changes occur in the organs of excretion: in the liver, kidneys, lungs, gastrointestinal organs, on the skin. Chronic intoxication leads to chronic inflammation and fibrosis of target organs, i. e. to a violation of the architectonics of connective tissue. Until recently fibrosis was considered as an irreversible process, and it reduced the interest to its early diagnosis. Currently, there is an opinion that fibrosis is potentially reversible at certain stages. Using ultrasound elastometry, it is possible not only to confirm the presence of fibrosis, but also to quantify the degree of its severity. The article describes a case of a decrease in the severity of liver fibrosis in a comorbid patient with chronic hepatitis C under the influence of complex treatment with the inclusion of osteopathic correction.
