Hepatobiliary Disease - Breakdown Flashcards
occurs in obese cats after a period of anorexia developing hepatic failure, icterus, and hepatic encephalopathy
feline hepatic lipidosis
similar to ketosis and is common in dairy cows late in gestation or peak lactation after any period of inappetence or anorexia
bovine fatty liver disease
occurs in overweight pregnant or lactating mares after a period of stress or anorexia
hepatic lipidosis of ponies
a condition specific to dogs characterized by hepatocellular glycogen accumulation secondary to excess glucocorticoids
canine steroid-induced hepatopathy
diseases causing metabolic disturbances that affect glucose regulation
diabetes mellitus
glycogen storage disease
abnormal amount of glucose stored in hepatocytes as glycogen and is present in large amount after feeding
hepatocellular glycogen accumulation
a result of secondary amyloidosis as a consequence of prolonged systemic inflammation
hepatic amyloidosis
impact of severe hepatic amyloidosis on livers
friable and susceptible to fracture and hemorrhage
lesion patterns caused by systemic viral infections
acute multifocal hepatocellular necrosis
any damage to the GI tract causing bacterial translocation into the portal circulation which seeds the liver with bacteria
liver abscessation
infection of the liver causing randomly distributed foci of hepatocellular necrosis surrounded by neutrophils and mononuclear cells in a foal
tyzzers disease
bacteria causing Tyzzer’s disease
clostridium piliforme
bacteria causing infectious necrotic hepatitis
C. novyi
bacteria causing bacilliary hemoglobinuria
C. haemolyticum
necropsy shows severe intravascular hemolytic anemia which leads to centrilobular ischemic necrosis and prehepatic icterus and possible direct injury to hepatocytes by leptospira toxins
leptospirosis
