Which of the following is NOT part of the histology of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis?

  • A. Fatty infiltration in liver
  • B. Fibrosis of liver
  • C. Inflammatory infiltrates in lobules
  • D. Cirrhosis
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: NASH histology includes steatosis (fatty infiltration), lobular inflammation, and fibrosis, per pathology definitions. Mallory bodies (intracellular inclusions) are classic but not universal. Cirrhosis is an advanced NAFLD outcome, not a defining NASH feature progression, not initial histology. This distinction aids physicians in staging chronic liver disease accurately.
