Hi Everyone. I am so upset with my Vet right now I needed to vent and ask if any of you can tell me what this biopsy results means; as in what kind of a shunt it is; possible prognosis from one of our experts here on SM. My vet has gone on a vacation and the other vet didn't know for sure what it means
The report says MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION:- Multiple punch or wedge biopsies of the liver are examined. All similar. Portal Triads are in close approximation to one another. Each exhibits one or more redundant blood vessels, which appear to be small arterioles. The capsular surface is somewhat irregular. Scattered Lipogranulomas are evident within the sinusoibs. - DIAGNOSIS: - See Comments. COMMENTS: - The spectrum of lesions identified is compatible with a Portosystmic Shunt. No Hepatic inflammation, Fibrosis, or Necrosis is present.
HELP: Does she have a portosystemic shunt or MVD? Fibrosis, or Necrosis isn't present - what does this mean? I will go nuts waiting for the Vet to be back from his vacation even if it is only 1 more week. Thanks for letting me vent my anger with my Vet and please help me understand if you have any knowledge from what the report says. Would this be genetic or heredity and my breeder should make things right? Thanks!
