Objective To explore the pathological changes of the livers from hepatic failure (HF) patients and its association with clinical disease stages. Methods Thirtynine patients with liver failure caused by HBV infections were investigated, and none accompanied with hepatocellular carcinoma. The sections of tissue were taken from the liver after liver transplantation and stained with hematoxylin -eosin (H&E) or RT (reticular fiber) staining. The pathological features were analyzed and compared between the clinical and pathological diagnosis.
