Liver disease

Sonopath Forum

  • 13 year old Maltese Terrier presented with vomiting and acting strange, previous hx GME (not on any meds now)
  • Bloods: severely increased ALP + ALT (proportionate >3000), GLDH normal, resting bile acids off scale (but is a Maltese), bilirubin normal, Albumin mild decrease, no stress leukogram
  • The liver seemed mildly heterogenous with increased echogenicity, cystic structure and abnormal gallbladder (FNA liver pending)
  • The stomach layering seemed abnormal – how would you describe this?
