PMCID: PMC1553129  PMID: 5492248

Abstract

The aetiology of the ultrastructural abnormalities of non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis is not known. In an attempt to elucidate the pathophysiology of this condition, the hepatic ultrastructure in nine cases of non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis with portal hypertension has been studied.
