Abstract

pathological processes involving the liver are also necessarily complex; the more so because the liver is open to a wide range of influences from disease in many other organ systems. The current array of biochemical parameters provides a sensitive, but not necessarily specific, method for diagnosing hepatic disease and clinicians will often turn to imaging and biopsy techniques to achieve a diagnosis. The advances in imaging in the human field, notably with respect to primary and metastatic hepatic neoplasia, are beginning to make biopsy redundant. Currently in veterinary medicine liver aspiration and biopsy remain mainstays in the diagnosis of hepatic disease.
