*Gross findings:
 
**Micronodular microhepatica, ascites, numerous portosystemic shunts
 
*Histology:
 
**Hepatic architecture disrupted by collagen and reticulin fibres separating the hepatic lobules into small clusters and individual cells
 
**Hepatocytes mutlifocally swollen, lightly eosinophilic, some binucleated.
 
**Variable nodular regeneration.
 
**Scattered necrotic cells and occasional foci of inflammation.
 
*Cu2+ accumulation not a consistent finding.
 
*Aetiology – possibly a specific reaction pattern in neonatal/juvenile [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] .

**Copper toxicity
 
**Copper storage disease

***Usually male, pure bred
 
*** Cats more ill than lymphocytic portal hepatitis.
 
***Higher ALT and serum bilirubin levels.
 
**Lymphocytic portal hepatitis
 
***infiltration of portal areas with lymphocytes and plasma cells
 
***no cholangitis
 
***no periportal hepatocellular necrosis.
