Abstract

The abnormal regeneration of the lobular structure, the appearance of prevalent fibrosis, and hepatic parenchymal nodular lesions are the focal characteristics of liver cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis is characterized by fibrotic regeneration of inflamed hepatocytes due to stellate cell activation. Research on antifibrotic therapies has become urgent need due to pervasive obesity trend associated with viral hepatitis and alcohol intake. Therefore, it is a need to find versatile, accessible, effaceable and economical antifibrotic therapies. Efficacy and mode of action of medicinal plants have been confirmed by clinical researches in liver diseases. Medicinal plants have proven to be effective antifibrotic agents. Focus of this study is to describe pathogenesis of cirrhotic liver disease and management by medicinal plants in order to reduce liver fibrosis.
