METHOD OF QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE MORPHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTICS OF PRESENCE OF PATHOLOGICAL EFFECT OF IRON DEXTRAN ON LIVER CONDITION IN PIGLETS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of veterinary and can be used to diagnose the presence of a pathological effect of iron dextran on the piglets' liver. The essence of the method consists in carrying out the morphological systemic step-by-step analysis of histological liver cuts with the description of its histological structure, measurement of the average quantity of binucleate hepatocytes, apoptotic bodies and cells of the mononuclear-macrophage system. If the complex of pathognomonic morphological changes, including the presence of blood filling of sinus capillaries, oedema of the Disse's space; swelling of the vascular endothelium, granular dystrophy of hepatocytes, increase of the average quantity of cells of the mononuclear-macrophage system, including haemosiderophages by two times and more, as well as an increase of the quantity of binucleate hepatocytes and apoptotic bodies by 2 times and more, the effect of iron dextran on the piglets' liver condition is considered to be pathological.
