Abstract

Liver inflammation may be acute or chronic form which leads to fibrosis and cirrhosis. The diagnosis depends on histopathologic evaluation which can be confounding especially in cases with heterogeneous involvement. In this chapter, we reviewed inflammatory liver diseases such as autoimmune hepatitis, overlap syndromes, sarcoidosis, drug disease, Wilson’s disease, alfa 1 antitripsin deficiency, and radiation injury with imaging findings.
