71-2). ALP is a membrane-associated enzyme present in many tissues; however, only liver, bone, and corticosteroid-induced isoenzymes contribute to serum ALP activity. Serum ALP activity in normal dogs and cats is usually due to the liver isoenzyme. An increase in this type of ALP activity ...
Echogenicity was classified as normal if the renal cortex was less echogenic than the adjacent liver or spleen, mild if the renal cortex was the same or mildly more echogenic than the adjacent liver or spleen, and markedly increased if the renal cortex echogenicity was obliterating the renal ...
The kidney is involved in a wide range of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic diseases. In most systemic infections, renal involvement is a minor component of the illness, but in some, renal failure may be the presenting feature and the major problem in management. Although individual infec...
In recent years, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an emerging imaging technique in the field of critical illness using highly echogenic but inert microbubbles to delineate areas of microvessel perfusion within organs, which has been widely used in oncology and other fields, and for ICU ...
main lobar fissure divides the right and left lobes of the liver; seen in the sagittal plane as an echogenic line between the gallbladder neck and the main portal vein porta hepatis known as the gateway to the liver, a fissure where the portal vein and hepatic artery enter the liver and...
One of the properties of sarcoma is the absence of lymphogenic metastases [20]. Bilateral metastases in lung cancer are usually indirect evidence of the primary neoplasm spreading to the liver and of subsequent disease dissemination to the lungs. However, if the lungs are not the primary source...
Early stages of HIVAN can be identified by the presence of pro- teinuria and "urine microcysts" along with renal sonograms showing enlarged echogenic kidneys. Urinary renal tubular epithelial cells are fre- quently grouped together to form these microcysts, which were found in the urine of ...
CCA in cirrhotic patients is ten-fold higher than the general population [12,18]. In Southeast Asia where the tumor is relatively more common, the associated risk factors are liver flukes (Opisthorchis viveriniandClonorchis sinensis) and chronic typhoid carriers with the latter carrying a six-...
In patients with acute hepatitis, ultrasound demonstrates multiple echogenic foci within a relatively hypoechoic liver parenchyma, the so-called “starry sky” sign (Fig.4) [25]. CT findings of acute hepatitis are nonspecific and include hepatosplenomegaly, thickened gallbladder wall, periportal oedema...
