Peripheral‐dominant liver fibrosis and tumor distribution in a mouse model of congestive hepatopathy

Congestive hepatopathy often leads to liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Imaging modalities provided clinical evidence that elevation of liver stiffness and tumor occurrence are mainly induced in the periphery of the liver in patients with congestive hepatopathy. However, clinical relevance of liver stiffness and liver fibrosis is unclear because liver congestion itself increases liver stiffness in congestive hepatopathy. It also unclear which factors configure such regional disparity of tumor development in patients with congestive hepatopathy. To answer these questions, we evaluated the macroscopic spatial distribution of liver fibrosis and tumors in the murine model of congestive hepatopathy.
