Abstract Background We analyzed two spontaneous dog diseases characterized by subnormal portal perfusion and reduced liver growth i congenital portosystemic shunts CPSS without fibrosis and ii primary portal vein hypoplasia PPVH a disease associated with fibrosis. These pathologies that lack inflammation or cholestasis may represent simplified models to study liver growth and fibrosis. To investigate the possible use of those models for hepatocyte growth factor HGF treatment we studied the functionality of HGF signaling in CPSS and PPVH dogs and compared this to .
