It can cause mitochondrial swelling of hepatocytes, irregular arrangement of mitochondrial cristae, and even ethanol transparent bodies, which is the manifestation of severe liver cell injury and necrosis. Three, nutritional disorders: most scholars admit that malnutrition can reduce the resistance of liver cells to toxic and infectious factors, and become the indirect cause of cirrhosis. Animal experiments have shown that animals feeding on food lacking choline or methionine can develop cirrhosis through fatty liver stages. Four, industrial poison or medicine: long-term or repeated exposure to pesticides containing arsenic, phosphorus, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, or long-term use of certain drugs such as bisatin, isoniazid, Xin Kefen, tetracycline, methotrexate (MTX), methyldopa, can produce toxic or drug-induced hepatitis, leading to liver cirrhosis.
