Is mitotic index the best predictive factor for survival of patients with resected hepatocellular carcinoma?
Analysis of the mitotic index is quite simple, and the mitotic index could be a useful factor for predicting the long-term survival of patients with HCC following hepatic resection.
We conclude that in lithium-induced nephropathy, glomerular hypertrophy is mainly due to the increased numbers of capillaries, whereas the increase in the individual capillary length is of lesser importance.
