Cholangitis/cholangiohepatitis complex in cats is commonly encountered in clinical practice worldwide. Diagnosis and management of cats with this complex is difficult because of the ambiguity of clinical signs, diagnostic test results and commonality of comorbid disorders. These impediments can delay disease identification and treatment, which can increase morbidity and mortality. In this narrative review, we aimed to provide a thorough review of the unique physioanatomic features of the biliary system as well as clinically relevant updates on cholangitis/cholangiohepatitis complex in cats.
猫的胆管炎/胆管肝炎综合征在临床实践中较为常见,在全球范围内均有发现。由于该综合征的临床症状、诊断试验结果和伴发疾病的普遍性存在不确定性,导致对该疾病的诊断和管理较为困难。这些阻碍因素可能会延迟疾病的识别和治疗,从而增加发病率和死亡率。在本综述中,我们旨在全面回顾胆道系统的独特解剖生理学特征,并提供有关猫胆管炎/胆管肝炎综合征的临床相关最新信息。
