Abstract

Aim: to study the dynamics of the liver morphology in CCl4-induced cirrhosis under the influence of photodynamic therapy. Materials and methods. CCl4 cirrhosis of the liver was induced in the experiment on the rats. Photodynamic therapy of the liver with Photolon was used to test the groups of the laboratory animals. Morphological examination of the liver tissue was performed. Results. The study detected reduction of the connective tissue under the influence of the proposed method of photodynamic therapy. Conclusion. Further studies of the effects of photodynamic therapy are promising in clinical conditions in patients with cirrhosis of the liver.
