Trace Element Manganese
Manganese and Hepatitis in Dogs
RESULTS: The whole blood manganese concentrations were significantly different between dogs with primary
hepatitis, dogs with non-hepatic illnesses and healthy dogs (P=0·002). Dogs with primary hepatitis
had significantly increased whole blood manganese concentrations compared with healthy dogs
(P<0·05) and dogs with non-hepatic illnesses (P<0·01). Dogs with primary hepatitis had significantly
lower whole blood manganese concentration compared with dogs with congenital portosystemic
shunts (P=0·0005).
