Evaluation of histopathological slides is a subjective science; objectivity is needed, especially with minimal alterations. Quantitation using measurement procedures is of special value in toxicological studies. The present study tests a method in which the hepatocytic nuclei were measured per area of liver tissue, excluding the sinusoidal space. Different grades of hepatocellular enlargement were induced by different dose levels of a test compound (combination of two diuretics). The method demonstrates the well-established dose dependence of liver cell enlargement and permits differentiation between slight drug-induced enlargement and the normal variation in cell size. Special reference is made to avoid measurement artefacts.
