Gallbladder and Pancreas Pathology Flashcards
Condition
Chronic Pancreatitis
Secretion of bile acids provides
Digestion of dietary fats
Excretory route for metabolites and drugs
Buffers to neutralize acid pH from stomach
Clinical signs of acute pancreatitis
Severe abdominal pain
Anorexia
Vomiting
Cardiovascular collapse
Describe this developmental abnormality of the pancreas
Pancreatic Hypoplasia (Pancreatic Atrophy- Dogs)
Anomaly of the gallbladder is a common result of fasting but can also be caused by Lantana camara toxicosis.
Gallbladder distention
Pancreatic condition in which calculi are formed within the pancreatic duct due to inflammation.
Pancreatic Lithiasis
Condition
Pancreatic Lithiasis
Describe this developmental abnormality of the pancreas
Anomalous tail
What dis?
Gallbladder Distension
Differential diagnosis for gallbladder edema
Right sided heart failure
Infectious Canine Hepatitis
Condition of the gallbladder where components of bile are supersaturated and precipitate - typically does not cause a problem unless obstruction occurs.
Gallbladder stones (choleliths)
Condition
Acute Pancreatitis
Describe this developmental abnormality of the pancreas
Ectopic Pancreas
What dis?
Cholecystitis
Condition
Acute Pancreatitis
Morphological Diagnosis
Diffuse severe fibrinous cholecystitis
Chronic Pancreatitis in horses is often secondary to
Parasitic migration
Ascending bacterial infection
Chronic eosinophilic gastroenteritis
Cholangitis, parasites of fibrosis and cholelithiasisi cause this gallbladder condition resulting in post hepatic jandice, hepatic atrophy and biliary fibrosis.
Biliary Obstruction
Condition of the gallbladder that is typically of traumatic orgin that results in steady leakage of bile into the peritoneal cavity - chemical peritonitis.
Rupture of the biliary tract or the gallbladder
Condition
Pancreatic Hyperplasia
