Descrizione
Diseases of the liver and pancreas can cause a degree of despair in veterinary
practitioners: so much about the causes and treatments of these diseases is poorly
understood, and too many cases remain idiopathic. Nonetheless, over recent
years, clinical research makes clear that logical workup and treatment of clinical
cases really can significantly impact both the quality and duration of life.
There are very few, if any, clinical signs that are pathognomonic for liver or
pancreas diseases, and the clinician must consider differential diagnoses for
presenting signs.
The first section of the Canine Hepatobiliary and Exocrine
Pancreas Diseases with problem-orientated algorithms guides both first and
second opinion practitioners through clinical assessments and workups, preventing
oversight of potential underlying causes. The subsequent sections meticulously
delve into pancreatic and liver diseases, encompassing clinical pathology, imaging,
biopsy acquisition, cytology, and histology, all expertly elucidated by specialists.
Loaded with informative algorithms, tables, figures, and videos, this book caters to
the needs of busy veterinary practitioners.
