| Popis: | BackgroundThe morphological characteristics of the largest lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes of the body have been described through ultrasonography, although food and gas in the gastrointestinal tract can often have negative effects on the response of small abdominal structures. The aim of the study was to describe the size of normal abdominal lymph nodes (ALs) in dogs affected by disease, not including lymphadenomegaly or lymphadenopathy, and divided according to body weight and age. The ALs studied included the jejunal, medial iliac, portal, gastric, splenic, and pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes.ResultsMultiple statistical analyses among the three groups showed that all measurements of the ALs increased according to body weight changes (P 0.1). Mixed results emerged from a comparison of weight categories and age; only the jejunal lymph nodes showed a possible correlation (P |
