TLDR
In this series of RT three cases of diffuse NRH of the liver were found, characterized by nodules of regenerative hepatocytes distributed throughout the liver without fibrosis, and this entity should be thought of in the differential diagnosis of PH following RT.Abstract:
In our series of RT three cases of diffuse NRH of the liver were found. This rare entity is characterized by nodules of regenerative hepatocytes distributed throughout the liver without fibrosis. The incidence was 12.5% and probably is underestimated. Clinically, hepatomegaly, moderate thrombopenia and an elevation of GGT were present, but no case was previously suspected. NRH can lead to PH, and we should think of this entity in the differential diagnosis of PH following RT.read more

Micronodular transformation (nodular regenerative hyperplasia) of the liver: a report of 64 cases among 2,500 autopsies and a new classification of benign hepatocellular nodules.
TL;DR: A spectrum of nodular regenerative hyperplasia present in 2.6% of autopsy livers and qualitatively similar but lesser degrees of noduler transformation was found and nodular transformation was also seen in 47% of livers with cirrhosis and 69% with portal veins.

TL;DR: NRH is a rare but potentially severe complication of azathioprine in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and Clinicians should be aware of this complication, and should monitor liver function tests and platelet counts closely in their patients.

Nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver following bone marrow transplantation
TL;DR: Liver disease in the early period following bone marrow transplantation may be due to a number of causes, including pretransplant cytoreduction with chemotherapy and irradiation, and another process, nodular regenerative hyperplasia, may also occur.

Nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver graft after liver transplantation
TL;DR: At a certain stage, nodular regenerative hyperplasia, in the context of a liver graft, becomes an irreversible lesion, emphasizing the need for early identification and withdrawal of the agent.

Laparoscopic study of peliosis hepatis and nodular transformation of the liver before and after renal transplantation: natural history and aetiology in follow-up cases

TL;DR: Cases of peliosis hepatis and nodular transformation which appear after renal transplantation are associated with immunosuppressants, and that cyclosporin treatment may also affect the morphogenesis of nodular Transformation.
