I HAVE POSTED ON THIS FORUM NOT REALLY KNOWING WHAT I AM DOING TRYING TO HELP MY LITTLE MAN HARLEY, 4 YEAR OLD YORKIE. SO THERE ARE OTHER POST THAT HAVE PIECES OF HIS INFO ON IT. FINALLY I HAVE THE RESULTS THAT I CAN POST TO HOPEFULLY GET SOME ADVICE..
BILE ACID TEST - PRE 1.4 POST 74.9
BIOPSY- STOMACH (SEVERAL PIECES) SECTIONS OF GASTRIC MUCOSA SHOW SCATTERED INFILTRATION OF LYMPHOCYTES WITH PLASMA CELLS IN THE LAMINA PROPRIA. VASCULAR CONGESTION AND HEMMORRHAGE ARE SEEN.
SMALL INTESTINE: SEVERAL PIECES - MULTIPLE SECTIONS WITH SIMILAR LESIONS ARE EXAMINED THROUGHOUT THE MUCOSATHERE IS AN INCREASE IN # OF PLASMA CELLS & LYMPHOCYTES WITH FEWER EISUBOPHILS IN THE LAMINA PROPRIA. THE MUCOSA ALSO SHOWS VASCULAR CONGESTION, MILD EDEMA, AND DILATED LACTEALS.
COLON- THROUGHOUT THE COLONIC MUCOSA THERE IS MODERATE INCREASE IN THE # OF PLASMA CELLS & LYMPHOCYTES WITH SCATTTERED NEUTROPHILS AND OCCASIONAL EOSINOPHILS IN THE LAMINA PROPRIA. THE MUCOSA ALSO SHOWS VASCULAR CONGESTION. SOME GLANDS SHOW LOSS OF GOBLET CELLS.
