Surgical attenuation of a congenital portosystemic shunt (CPSS) results in increased portal vein perfusion, liver growth and clinical improvement. Portal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is implicated in liver regeneration via toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 medi...

Multiple acquired portosystemic shunts in a cat secondary to chronic diaphragmatic rupture (2015)
Journal Article
Barfield, D. M., Gibson, A. D., & Lipscomb, V. J. (2015). Multiple acquired portosystemic shunts in a cat secondary to chronic diaphragmatic rupture. Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery Open Reports, 1(2), 1. https://doi.org/10.1177/2055116915585020

A cat with a chronic diaphragmatic rupture presented with neurological signs, including twitching and focal seizures. Blood ammonia level was markedly elevated and therefore neurological signs were thought to be related to hepatic encephalopathy. Exp...

Attenuation of Congenital Portosystemic Shunt Reduces Inflammation in Dogs (2015)
Journal Article
Tivers, M. S., Handel, I., Gow, A. G., Lipscomb, V. J., Jalan, R., & Mellanby, R. J. (2015). Attenuation of Congenital Portosystemic Shunt Reduces Inflammation in Dogs. PLoS ONE, 10(2), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0117557

Liver disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. One of the most significant complications in patients with liver disease is the development of neurological disturbances, termed hepatic encephalopathy. The pathogenesis of hepatic encephalop...
