Hepatic fibrosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1377614074
Hepatic Fibrosis is defined as an excess deposition of the components of extracellular matrix (i.e. collagens, glycoproteins, proteoglycans) within the liver. This response to liver injury potentially is reversible. In contrast, in most patients, cirrhosis is not a reversible process.
