Immunomorphological lymph node processes in some cirrhogenic liver diseases
Abstract:
Dynamics of the lymph node modifications as well as hepatic and immunoserological in various cirrhogenic hepatopathies have been studied on human and experimental material. Lymph nodes showed early and progressively immunomorphological reactions with maximum intensity in evolutive stages of certain cirrhoses. Such reactions as well as in other areas of reticulo-endothelial system are decreasing during the immunosuppressive treatment and in advanced stages of cirrhosis. The lymph nodes participation in the pathogenic mechanism of some cirrhogenic hepatopathies has been very little studied, whereas that of the liver and of the spleen has been more approached. Our previous investigations (1) have disclosed the existence of some chronic lymphadenites as well as reactional reticuloses on necroptic material from young cirrhotics. Equally, during some preliminary experimental studies (7) We remarked intense lymph node reactions even in incipient phases of cirrhoses, which fact stirred us up to examine them thoroughly.

Cells of Liver

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
