We measured the concentrations of creatine kinase B-isoenzymes by radioimmunoassay in 271 serum specimens from patients with azotemia, benign prostatic hyperplasia, adenocarcinoma of the prostate, and transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. There was no correlation between the concentrations of
BACKGROUND
Iatrogenic hypothyroidism is associated with an increased incidence of azotemia after treatment of hyperthyroidism, and decreased survival time in azotemic hyperthyroid cats.
OBJECTIVE
Restoration of euthyroidism will decrease plasma creatinine concentrations.
METHODS
Nineteen
BACKGROUND
There is scant data available on the pathogenetic mechanisms of varied clinical presentation of bone disease in patients with excess fluoride ingestion in the Indian subcontinent. The present study is comprehensive and state of the art, incorporating all essential elements of bone mineral
The medical records of 14 hyperthyroid cats with thyroid carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively regarding historical, physical, laboratory, and thyroid scintiscan findings, treatment, and treatment outcome. Breed predilection was not detected, and older castrated male cats were most commonly
Urethral obstruction induced in adult male cats caused clinical signs identical with those observed in naturally occurring disease. Central nervous system depression, anorexia, dehydration, vomiting, muscle weakness, and hypothermia occurred. Weight loss (due to water loss and catabolism), metabolic
A nine-year-old German shorthaired pointer cross was admitted because of partial anorexia, exercise intolerance and haematuria. On clinical examination, subcutaneous oedema, purpura and ascites were detected along with a palpable mass in the right craniodorsal abdomen. Laboratory findings included
OBJECTIVE
To investigate renal function in clinically normal dogs undergoing general anesthesia for ovariohysterectomies that received nonsteriodal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) before surgery.
METHODS
40 clinically normal dogs.
METHODS
After induction of anesthesia, dogs were given an analgesic.
Chronic mercuric chloride intoxication in an aged horse given 0.8 mg Hg/kg/day for 14 weeks was manifest by signs of progressive respiratory difficulty and renal disease. The effects were not self-limiting after mercury was withdrawn, and the animal was destroyed six weeks later. Renal function
OBJECTIVE
To develop a method for inducing acute leptospirosis in dogs.
METHODS
31 nine-week-old female Beagles.
METHODS
Beagles were randomly assigned to 2 inoculation groups or a control group. Dogs were inoculated on 3 successive days by conjunctival instillation of 5 x 10(7) cells of Leptospira
Acute zinc toxicosis from the ingestion of pennies was diagnosed in a dog with Heinz body hemolytic anemia (PCV = 14%), leukocytosis (51,000 cells/ml) with a left shift (3,060 band neutrophils; 37,740 segmented neutrophils) and monocytosis (4,080 cells/ml), azotemia (BUN = 60 mg/dl), bilirubinemia
A 13-yr-old intact male cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) presented for evaluation after a 4-mo history of intermittent lethargy and increased expiratory effort. The clinical signs were initially noted after the diagnosis and death of its 13-yr-old male sibling with solitary hepatic T-cell lymphoma.
Erythema multiforme major and disseminated intravascular coagulation developed in a dog 24 hours after exposure to a d-limonene-based insecticidal dip. Clinical signs included severe lethargy and weakness, ulceration of the oral mucosa, and erythematous serpiginous, annular, and arciform lesions on
Serum transcobalamin II (TCII) levels were determined in 56 patients with P. falciparum malaria infection. They were divided into 3 groups: severe (malarial parasite > 5% or patients with cerebral malaria or renal insufficiency), moderate (1-5% infection without complications) and mild (1%
Apart from an occasional focal lesion, ureteral metastases diagnosed during life are rare. We have encountered, on intravenous urography and retrograde pyelography, a rather characteristic appearance of multiple undulating areas of narrowing produced by diffuse lymphatic involvement of the
A series of blood and urine samples was collected from each of eight normal foals between birth and eight weeks. Blood chemistry relating to renal function was evaluated as well as physical and chemical characteristics of urine. During the first 4d of life it was impractical to suggest meaningful
