[Morphological liver changes after portacaval and splenocaval anastomosis in rats]
Helvetica Chirurgica Acta
|May 1, 1979
Abstract:
Body weight, liver weight and liver histology in rats 3 weeks after portacaval and distal splenocaval anastomosis were analyzed. Rats with portacaval shunt showed a reduction of body and liver weight and histological signs of liver atrophy. There was no difference between the results in rats with splenocaval shunt and controls.
