LM of human liver showing alcoholic cirrhosis
Cirrhosis. Light micrograph of a section of human liver tissue showing cirrhosis due to excessive alcohol consumption. The liver responds to the injury or death of some of its cells by producing interlacing strands of fibrous scar tissue (brownish orange) between which are nodules of regenerating cells. The liver becomes tawny and characteristically knobbly in appearance. Cirrhosis cannot be cured, but its progress can be arrested if its cause, in this case alcoholism, can be removed.

Alcohol Cirrhosis Liver Condition Disorder Light Micrograph
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a light micrograph of human liver tissue affected by alcoholic cirrhosis. The detrimental consequences of excessive alcohol consumption are vividly displayed as the liver responds to cell injury or death by generating intricate strands of fibrous scar tissue, depicted in a striking brownish orange hue. These scar tissues intertwine with regenerating cells, forming nodules within the liver tissue. The visual impact is enhanced by the tawny and knobbly appearance that characterizes this advanced stage of cirrhosis. While there is no known cure for this condition, its progression can be halted if the underlying cause, in this case alcoholism, is eliminated. With a magnification level of x100 at 35mm size, this image provides an up-close look at the damaging effects alcohol abuse can have on one's vital organs. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining good health practices and seeking treatment for addiction. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this medical phenomenon through their lens, offering valuable insights into the field of healthcare and shedding light on diseases like cirrhosis caused by excessive alcohol consumption. This photograph holds immense educational value for medical professionals and researchers studying liver disorders while also serving as a powerful deterrent against harmful drinking habits.
