title: [A morphometric analysis of the liver changes in sarcoidosis].
abstract: 28 liver biopsies from patients with sarcoidosis were studied with the use of multifactor mathematical methods. Granuloma morphogenesis in the liver results from the effect of the antigen (which is realized possibly through cytokines), "scarring" and "lymphoidization". Non-linear dependence between the morphogenesis factors is revealed and thus the hypothesis about the presence in the sarcoidosis liver of the three types of granulomas and their transformation from one type into another is confirmed.
