    Snippet: In this population of dogs, chronic neutrophilic cholangitis/ cholangiohepatitis was most common. Gallbladder disease, specifically cholecystitis and biliary tract obstruction, occurred often in conjunction with cholangitis. In this study dogs with cholangitis and biliary tract disease that underwent cholecystectomy had a reduced risk of death, thus cholecystectomy may improve patient outcome.

    Document: In this population of dogs, chronic neutrophilic cholangitis/ cholangiohepatitis was most common. Gallbladder disease, specifically cholecystitis and biliary tract obstruction, occurred often in conjunction with cholangitis. In this study dogs with cholangitis and biliary tract disease that underwent cholecystectomy had a reduced risk of death, thus cholecystectomy may improve patient outcome. Chronic hepatitis is a common condition in dogs and fibrosis is an important component of this disease process. In human patients with chronic hepatitis prognosis is related to the stage of hepatic fibrosis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between the stage of hepatic fibrosis and survival times in dogs with chronic hepatitis.
