(Created page with "'''Staining''': Shikata orcein '''Organ''': Liver '''Description''': The liver parenchyme in this slide has been divided into “pseudolobules”. These pseudolobules don’t correspond to the normal liver lobules and have wildly varying sizes. The pseudolobules are surrounded by scar tissue. In two of the pseudolobules there are hepatocytes which are HBsAG positive. Their morphology is called “ground-glass hepatocytes”. '''Diagnosis''': HBs antigen positive chr...") |

Normal orcein stains elastic fibres while Shikata orcein stains the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) as well. This staining is not used in clinical practice as serology is preferred instead. | Normal orcein stains elastic fibres while Shikata orcein stains the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) as well.
