How Does Histology Help in Understanding Hepatitis?

Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver, often caused by viral infections such as Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. Histological examination reveals:
- Inflammatory Infiltrates: Presence of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and occasionally eosinophils.
- Ballooning Degeneration: Swollen hepatocytes with pale-staining cytoplasm.
- Apoptosis: Programmed cell death of hepatocytes, seen as Councilman bodies.
