In histological studies on liver stiffness (LS), fibrosis shows the closest association with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.7 to 0.8. These fibrosis features include width and number of septa. Other extracellular deposits of elevated LS include amyloid. Fibrosis features are followed by signs of ballooning, accumulation of Mallory’s hyaline in the now called Mallory–Denk bodies that are largely stuffed with CK18 cytokeratin filaments. Features of ballooning are followed by signs of inflammation such as infiltrates of neutrophils or other inflammatory cells. In the context of inflammation, it is highly conceivable that both recruitment of more cells and increased perfusion (pressure) will cause LS elevation. Inflammation is followed by other histological features of cell death that are significantly associated with LS: microgranulomas, acidophil bodies, megamitochondria, glycogenated nuclei, and large lipo-granulomas. Notably, steatosis in form of large and small lipid droplets is not associated with LS. Some controversies may result from the fact that in many biopsied cohorts, steatosis often coexists with liver damage. When ruling out these confounders, fat can even have a negative impact on stiffness. Since steatosis is low in normal, healthy livers but also end-stage cirrhotic livers, it remains to be studied whether viscoelastic properties of fat have a biomechanical beneficial effect on disease progression.
