Slice of a human liver in a case of chronic passive hepatic congestion, a common complication of congestive heart failure, wherein elevated central venous pressure is directly transmitted from the right atrium to the hepatic veins. The slice shows a speckled appearance like a grated nutmeg kernel; the dark zones are dilated and congested hepatic blood vessels. The paler areas are unaffected surrounding liver tissue. | |
