===Cirrhosis===
===Cirrhosis===
*Cirrhosis ''is'' stage 4 (Laennec).
{{Main|Cirrhosis}}
**The formal Robbins definitions is:<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8_439>{{Ref PCPBoD8|439}}</ref> (1) bridging fibrosis, (2) nodule formation, and (3) disruption of the hepatic architecture.
*The etiology of late stage fibrosis (cirrhosis), may be impossible to determine.
*Perisinusoidal fibrosis may suggest congestive hepatopathy.<ref>OA. September 15, 2009.</ref>
*In NAFLD portal-to-portal fibrosis (septal/bridging fibrosis) tends to be more common than perivenular fibrosis.<ref name=pmid14991537>Pathologic features associated with fibrosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Special types:
*Garland cirrhosis ([[AKA]] holly leaf cirrhosis) - see ''[[primary biliary cirrhosis]]''.
====Gross====
Cirrhosis can be divided (in gross pathology) into:
*Micronodular cirrhosis - classically due to [[alcohol]].
**Uniform, diffuse.
*Macronodular cirrhosis - classically due to viral hepatitis.
**Irregular.
