Abstract:
Liver fine needle aspiration (FNA) and bile cytology are valuable diagnostic tools for evaluating various hepatobiliary diseases in veterinary medicine. Although FNA of the liver is less invasive and faster than histopathology, it may not always provide a definitive diagnosis, but will often provide information regarding pathologic processes occurring in the liver. Cytologic evaluation is most effective when integrated with clinical information including bloodwork, imaging, and results of other diagnostic tests.
