Shunt?

Study Premise:
 Attempt to stabilize a
reliable global and
precise sonographic
criteria to diagnose or
rule out the presence
of portosystemic
shunting
Study Design: Retrospective
5 Sonographers, Trained By 1 Single Evaluator Experienced in
Dx Of PSS
 33 Dogs & Cats with
EHPSS
 5 Dogs With Intrahepatic

Study Flaws
 Published Controls
 Non blinded
 Urolithiasis is a non
specific finding
 Microhepatica &
renomegaly are
subjective parameters
 Caval probe pressure
creates a variable
 Small number of cases
(38)
Conclusions
In this population of 38 dogs and
cats, the presence of :
 Urinary bladder sand/calculi,
 Renal mineralization
 Renomegaly
 Microhepatica
were reliable, non exclusive,
positive predictive factors for
the presence of PSS , but do
not distinguish IHPSS from
EHPSS.
 Subnormal PV/CVC and
PV/AO ratios (0.7 8 or less)
are highly reliable indicators
of the presence of EHPSS.
