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.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS REALLY MEANS. THE VET THINKS IT IS A LIVER SHUNT WITH IBD ALSO. I AM SO WORRIED, NEXT HE WANTS TO DO AN ULTRASOUND.

I did see your post in the other thread but am not much help with biopsy interpretation. The post is high for his bile acids but it definately could be MVD. Have you talked to the vet about a Protein C test?
