| dc.description.abstract | Liver disease in horses is often associated with a guarded to poor prognosis. The liver is
extremely regenerative and can tolerate up to 70% depletion without showing any
clinical signs. This, while beneficial, can present obstacles to diagnosis and can lead to
the recognition of hepatopathy being at an extremely late progression, negatively
impacting prognosis. The aim of this study was to outline and evaluate the probable
causes of subclinical liver disease in herds of horses in Ireland, and the methods for
their diagnosis. | en_US |
