Abstract:
Structural and metabolic changes in liver tissue in dogs with acute cholecystitis were studied by histological, histoenzymatic, and biochemical methods. It was found that the development of destructive inflammatory processes in the gallbladder wall induces morphological damage to the liver tissue, which correlates with metabolic disorders in this organ and leads to liver dysfunction.
