Abstract
Causes of liver disease in the adult horse are numerous and varied. However, given the limited ways in which the liver responds to disease, identification of a specific aetiology is not achieved in many cases. Instead, treatment is undertaken on the basis of clinical findings and biopsy results. Recent areas of interest include toxic and viral hepatopathies, and the role of liver fluke in the horse.
