The article presents the results of a morphometric study of the liver of persons who died from acute ethanol intoxication and chronic alcohol intoxication in persons with alcohol-induced liver pathology. The aim of the work was to carry out morphometry of the main vascular and parenchymal structural components of the liver, reflecting its morphological and functional state. Data were obtained on a decrease in the area of the vascular bed, cyto- and karyometric parameters, which reflect an increase in dystrophic processes in hepatocytes and inflammatory-proliferative processes in the connective tissue and indicate the tension of capillary-connective tissue structures, impaired blood circulation, bile and lymph outflow in the liver in chronic alcohol intoxication, especially with hepatitis and cirrhosis. The obtained morphometric data can be used as a comparison in studying the pathomorphological features of the liver in other pathological conditions.
