cholangiohepatitis, occult lymphoma, lipidosis
The liver in this patient was mildly hyperechoic to the falciform fat. The gallbladder
was mildly thickened. This is consistent with cholecystitis pattern. Age related renal changes.
Recommendations are treatment for cholangiohepatitis and hepatic toxicity along with evauation
of the cytology. No complications were noted post sampling. The cause of azotemia is
unclear in this patient unless acute episodes such as thrombosis or sepsis is an issue.
