Radiographic and biochemical changes in dogs with experimental portal vein branch ligation

실험적 간문맥 분지 결찰 개에서 방사선학적 및 혈청화학적 변화

Radiograph and serum activities were investigated in six dogs with experimental portal vein branch ligation. Operative mesenteric portography showed the incomplete portal vein circulation due to ligation of portal vein branch. Several serum enzyme activities were measured after portal vein branch ligation. Albumin and total protein were decreased following the time. Others were increased. In microscopic findings, hepatocellular necrosis and haemorrhage were identified in midzone and centrilobular zone. And reverse lobulation pattern was found in dogs with portal vein branch ligation.
