Abstract
Nonalcoholic diabetic women [5] were clinically and histologically verified as having micronodular cirrhosis. In this series all the patients were over 50 yr of age and showed obesity, hyperglycemia, enlarged liver and mild abnormalities of liver function tests. The histological findings differed from hepatitic cirrhosis. In 2 patients serial biopsies confirmed development of cirrhosis from centrilobular necrosis.
