'''Chronic hepatitis''' is an inflammatory-necrotising disease of at least 6 months duration. It is characterised by hepatocellular [[Adaptive Immunity to Viruses|apoptosis]] or [[Necrosis - Pathology|necrosis]], a variable mononuclear or mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate, [[Liver Regeneration|regeneration]] and [[Liver Fibrosis|fibrosis]] (1). It predominantly consists of lymphocytic-plasmacytic inflammatory infiltration, and the disease process typically involves a slowly progressive inflammation which leads to fibrosis and posibly cirrhosis.

Response to treatment is variable. Dogs with [[Liver Fibrosis|fibrosis]] and [[Cirrhosis |cirrhosis]] carry a poorer prognosis.
