Abstract

Evaluation of treatment results of chronic liver diseases
should be made on the basis of morphological analysis of
liver biopsies. The aim of our study was to investigate the
effect of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
on histology activity index and grade of fibrosis in alcoholic
liver cirrhosis patients. The study was performed on liver
biopsies of 11 patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Biopsies
were taken before the injection of autologous peripheral
blood stem cells into celiac trunk, 3 and 12 months after
the procedure. Liver biopsy specimens were stained with
hematoxylin-eosin and Van Gieson's. Results showed
improvement of liver structure and decrease in histology
activity index in liver biopsies performed 3 and 12 months
after transplantation. Our data suggest that autologous
transplantation of hematopoietic stem cell in patients with
alcoholic liver cirrhosis is effective method that is capable
to reduce inflammation activity in the liver, improve its
structure and decrease liver fibrogenesis.
