Event: | CE Meeting | |
Topic: | Microbiome dysbiosis and enteropathies as an interrelated clinical syndrome – novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment | |
Description: | Chronic enteropathies (CE) occur very common in dogs and cats and are frustrating to treat due to lack of specific markers. The pathophysiology is complex and includes changes in the immune system, intestinal function, and the intestinal microbiome. The current classification based on treatment response (ie, food-, steroid-responsive) is currently being questioned amongst gastroenterologists, as new research findings indicate that CE is a progressive syndrome with many overlapping unspecific features, often with chronic irreversible changes in intestinal function and dysbiosis. The presentation will summarize novel research about the pathophysiology and novel concepts in multi-modal therapy for these conditions. The presenter team will cover both findings from academic research and clinical experience from specialty practice. | |
