How do i know exactly what occurs when the liver is inflamed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation ...: Is caused by the infiltration of white blood cells into the liver. If there is an infection or injury, then the cells become "activated" to kill the bad cells. The which cells sent out chemicals which can injure the liver cells further and call in more white cells. If this goes on long enough, then scarring (fibrosis) can develop.
