title: [Morphological liver changes after portacaval and splenocaval anastomosis in rats].
abstract: Body weight, liver weight and liver histology in rats 3 weeks after portacaval and distal splenocaval anastomosis were analyzed. Rats with portacaval shunt showed a reduction of body and liver weight and histological signs of liver atrophy. There was no difference between the results in rats with splenocaval shunt and controls.
