[A statistical analysis of liver diseases (based on the autopsy data from the clinics of the I. M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy for 1978-1987)].
6170 autopsy protocols have been analysed and the conclusion is made that alcoholic liver cirrhosis is predominating in the structure of liver diseases. Viral liver cirrhosis is less important by its incidence than alcoholic one. Liver tumors are of importance against the background of alcoholic and viral cirrhosis. Primary liver tumors, autoimmune and metabolic diseases occur rarely. The material confirms the fact that alcohol is a principal etiological factor in development of liver diseases.
