The biopsy is graded by two scoring systems. Both the degree of scarring (known as the "stage" of liver disease) and the degree of inflammation (known as the "grade" of disease) are noted. There are four stages. Stage 1 refers to a minimal amount of scarring, limited to an area of the liver known as the portal triad (where the arteries, veins and bile ducts are found). Further progression of scarring outside of the portal triad and into surrounding liver cells is considered stages 2 and 3. When scarring results in long bridges of fibrous tissue that separate nodules of normal liver tissue, it is called stage 4, or cirrhosis.
Liver disease also is graded on a scale of 1-4. In grade 1, there is minimal infiltration of inflammatory cells into the portal triad. As these cells spill over into the liver tissue from the portal triad, it is considered grades 2-3. Finally, large amounts of inflammation that involves all the liver is known as grade 4.
