Abstract
Hepatic fibrosis indicates an increased deposition of the normal components of connective tissue in the liver, associated with an altered balance between synthesis and degradation of collagen (Anthony et al., 1978; Hann et al., 1985). This widespread alteration of the liver represents an important stage in the progression of chronic liver disease to cirrhosis (Conn, 1982; Rappaport et al., 1983).
