Morpho-histochemical changes at the finger tip preterminal circulation in liver cirrhosis.
Biopsy of the finger tip in 42 cases of cirrhosis of the liver showed: a) aspecific changes in type II, group B AVA's, with pictures characterized by unusual perisegmentary neofibrillopoiesis; b) areas of fibrinoid necrosis, indicative of the general participation of connective tissue in the cirrhogenic process.
