P31 - Hepatobiliary and Exocrine Pancreas Part 5 Flashcards
infectious canine hepatitis caused by
- canine adenovirus-1 (CAV-1)
severe disease of infectious canine hepatitis effect on liver
- hepatocellular necrosis and hemorrhages
- severe vascular injury -> DIC and death
virus (adenovirus) causing infectious canine hepatitis has predilection for (3)
- hepatocytes
- endothelium
- mesothelium
dogs recovering from infectious canine hepatitis (adenovirus) may develop
- immune-complex uveitis - blue eye
most common recognized cause of canine chronic hepatitis
- copper accumulation
which breed has mutation in COMMD1 gene (involved in copper excretion)
- bedlington terriers
pathogenesis of copper accumulation
- copper accumulates in centrilobular regions and within Kupffer cells -> ongoing oxidative injury with subsequent hepatocellular necrosis, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, nodular remodeling and eventual end-stage liver (cirrhosis)
what stain is used to identify and quantify copper-associated hepatopathy
- rhodamine stain
canine vacuolar hepatopathy (VH) can be due to accumulation of (2)
- glycoproteins
- lipids
glycogen type vacuolar hepatopathy associated with; nucleus location; and disease associated with
- stress, corticosteroids or underlying disease
- nucleus will remain in center of cell
- Cushing’s
lipid type vacuolar hepatopathy associated with and nucleus location
- fatty degeneration
- hypoxia, certain toxins or with metabolic/endocrine disease (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus)
- nucleus will be pushed periphery
pathogenesis of glycogen-type vacuolar hepatopathy
- glucocorticoids induce glycogen synthase activity (hepatocytes are making more glycogen) -> accumulation causes swelling of hepatocytes
cholelithiasis are
- gallstones
- components of bile become supersaturated and precipitate
gallstones become clinically significant when
- stones obstruct bile duct resulting in extrahepatic cholestasis and posthepatic hyperbilirubinemia
acute cholecystitis
- inflammation of gallbladder
chronic cholecystitis may be caused by (3)
- chronic ascending bacterial infection of biliary tree
- chronic irritation from cholelithes or parasites (flukes)
- rupture of gallbladder
