Archived histological sections of gallbladder and liver evaluated by investigators blinded to data. Proportions of dogs with each histologic abnormality alive vs deceased at 1, 3, and 12\u2009months post-cholecystectomy compared. Mann-Whitney U performed to determine if NLR differed in dogs with or without selected lesions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n 51\/52 (98%, 95% CI [89%, 99%]) dogs with GBM had at least 1 hepatic histologic abnormality. Hepatic fibrosis (37\/51; 73%, 95% CI [59%, 83%]), biliary hyperplasia (29\/52; 56%, 95% CI [42%, 68%]), and portal inflammation (25\/52; 48%, 95% CI [35%, 61%]) were most common. The proportion of dogs alive vs dead differed based on the fibrosis score at 1, 3, and 12 (P\u2009\u2264\u2009.04) months post-cholecystectomy. Dogs with hepatic necrosis (P\u2009=\u2009.006) and cholangitis\/cholangiohepatitis (P\u2009=\u2009.02) had higher NLRs compared to dogs without these lesions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Clinical Importance<\/jats:title>\n Histologic abnormalities of the liver are common in dogs with GBM. A higher portal fibrosis score might be associated with shortened long-term survival after cholecystectomy for dogs with GBM. An increase in NLR might predict hepatic necrosis and cholangitis\/cholangiohepatitis in dogs with GBM.<\/jats:p>\n
