Reviews
This book proposes to provide a unified description if the currently recognised
liver diseases in cats and dogs.
Until recently, no strict guidelines existed for choosing the correct clinical
and histopathological term to describe specific liver diseases. This problem
made it difficult to study and compare the prognosis, response to treatment
and progression of these individual hepatopathies in small animals. A group
of well-recognised scientists in veterinary hepato-gastroenterology, clinical
pathologists and renowned clinicians from Europe, the US and Australia joined
in their efforts to create such guidelines in the shape of this book and, in
the process, started an initiative to approach liver disease in a more scientific
way.
All chapters are nicely illustrated with pictures of the macroscopic, ultrasonographic
or histopathological typical appearance of the disease processes.
In summary, this is a good and well-illustrated book, which would be of use
for clinicians dealing with patients with liver disease, pathologists and those
interested in diagnostic imaging.
