"lupoid" hepatitis / autoimmune chronic active hepatitis
hepatic venous outflow obstruction:
venoocclusive disease
Budd Chiari syndrome
"cardiac cirrhosis" from constrictive pericarditis
toxins/ drugs e.g. methrotrexate, amiodarone, bush tea
intestinal bypass
indian childhood cirrhosis - India, SE Asia, Middle East
cryptogenic - heterogenous group of unknown origin
Notes:
the most common causes are alcohol, 60-80%; viral hepatitis, 10-20%; biliary cirrhosis, 5-10%; haemochromatosis, 5%
the frequency of cryptogenic cirrhosis is variable - in the UK, it accounts for about 30% of cases but in other countries such as France and the urban parts of the USA, it is less prevalent and alcohol more so
in granulomatous lesions such as brucellosis, sarcoidosis and tuberculosis, fibrosis is not followed by nodular regrowth i.e. not cirrhosis
syphilis causes cirrhosis in neonates but not adults
