Sentences with phrase «develop cholangiohepatitis»

Besides the hepatic lipidosis that is caused by sudden refusal to eat, elderly cats sometimes develop cholangiohepatitis, a form of chronic hepatitis.

Not exact matches

When cats develop certain types of liver disease such as cholangiohepatitis or hepatic lipidosis (sometimes called fatty liver disease), the accompanying inflammation can cause a bile traffic jam in the liver and biliary ducts — the pathways that bile travels into and out of the gallbladder.

Although this process is regarded as the final stage of severe cholangiohepatitis, it is infrequently observed because seriously affected cats and those in which diagnosis has been delayed rarely survive long enough for it to develop.
