As illustrated by serial sections from a representative case of a CHC patient with SVR, most intrahepatic resistin-positive cells were non-parenchymal cells (Fig. 2a,b, white arrows), including lymphocytes (Fig. 2c), HSCs (Fig. 2d), KCs (Fig. 2e) and HPCs (Fig. 2f). Here, TBCE is linked to cryohydrocytosis.
