|
occurs after massive liver necrosis.Cirrhosis occur as a compliction of acute viral hepatitis or exposure to hepatotoxins. |
Postnecrotic cirrhosis- |
|
- develops from chronic biliary obstruction, biliary obstruction, bile stasis, and inflammation resulting in severe obstructive jaundice. |
Biliary Cirrhosis |
