Dear Seth

here is an explanation of Fibrosis and a link to a website which may help.

Stage of Liver Fibrosis:

1. Stage 0: normal liver

2. Stage 1: mild fibrosis, enlargement of hepatic portal as a result of fibrosis

3. Stage 2: moderate fibrosis, the fibrous tissues have come out from the hepatic portal area and form bridges between the portal areas.

4. Stage 3: severe fibrosis, fibrostic bridges are formed between the portal areas and liver’s center veins

5. Stage 4: cirrhosis

Early stages of liver fibrosis (stage 1 and 2) are reversible, which means in these conditions, liver still has the ability to regenerate damaged liver cells.
