Correlations Between Venous Acid-Base Status and Renal Function in Neonatal Calves With Acute Diarrhea

33139

In the present study, the relationship between venous acid-base status and renal function was investigated. 50 calves with acute diarrhea and clinically healthy 6 totally 56 calves of diverse breed and sex aged between 1-30 days were used. Each of these calves urea, creatine, potassium, albumine, cholestrol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MB, total biluribin, glucose, alanine amino transferase, aspartate amino transferase, gamma-glutamil transferase, phosphorus, calcium, sodium, bicarbonate and pH were measured in the blood serum and correlation between the parameters were calculated. As a result pH, bicarbonate, potassium, urea, creatinine, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, phosphorus and creatine kinase-MB values significantly different in the calves with acute diarrhea compare with the control group. For albumine, cholestrol, creatine kinase, total biluribin, glucose, alanin amino transferase, aspartat amino transferase, gamma glutamil transferase, calcium and sodium values were not changed significanty in the groups. Otherwise, negative correlation were calculated between renal functions with pH and bicarbonate. Our data show that as well as metabolic acidosis, renal disfunction and changes in metabolic (hypophosphotemia, hypolipidemia, etc) should be considered determination of treatment procedure and detection of prognosis in the neonatal calves with acute diarrhea.
