Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase in the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis. II. Classification of chronic hepatitis based on fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and other laboratory data.
The histomorphology of typical liver cell necroses are here correlated with heterotope distributions of enzymes in liver parenchyma. A variety of findings indicate a congruence between gluconeogenetic areas of the liver and the typical pattern of 'piecemeal' necrosis. We therefore propose a diagnostic index based on fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase activity and the data from the clinical laboratory. This index makes it possible to distinguish between chronic persistent and chronic aggressive hepatitis.
