This paper presents a review of the literature on hepatic circulation and circulatory disorders of the liver in the dog and cat, and also includes a number of our own not previously published data. Circulatory disorders of the liver are frequently observed in dogs and cats. These disorders can be divided into congenital portosystemic shunts, disorders associated with outflow disturbances, and disorders associated with portal hypertension. Outflow disturbances result in passive congestion of the liver and in both species are mainly due to cardiac failure. Portal hypertension with resultant portosystemic collateral circulation and ascites mainly results from chronic liver disease, particularly cirrhosis. The main vascular disorder resulting in portal hypertension and ascites in the dog is primary hypoplasia of the portal vein.
