Idiopathic Hepatitis and Cirrhosis in Dogs

摘要

Poor understanding of the causes of primary hepatitis, especially idiopathic chronic hepatitis, results in limited options for adequate treatment and variable results. Elucidating the causes, aside from the copper-associated form of hepatitis, is of utmost importance to find etiology-based treatments for canine (chronic) hepatitis, when possible, most likely resulting in a better prognosis.
