Avaliação do perfil hematológico, bioquímico e eletroforese das proteínas séricas de cães com cinomose atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco

Abstract

Canine distemper is an important viral disease in dogs that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and also central nervous characterized by immunosuppression. The goal of this work was to study the counting of red blood and white blood cells, albumin, plasmatic total protein, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glucose, creatinine and ureia patterns in 37 dogs from differents breeds. On the other hand, studies were performed on a total of 16 analysis from four dogs at different times following of infection (1th, 7th, 14th and 21th day after the diagnosis of the disease) The results showed the Normocytic-normochromic anemia in 67% of animals and the white blood cell couting present lymphocytopenia , thrombocytopenia in 65% and 30% respectivelly. Hypoglycemia was observed in 67% and high AST and ALT values were recorderd in 78% and 21 % in this study. Serum protein electrophoresis revealed alterations in serum components with elevation in the gamma region and decrease of alpha-globulins regions. It was not observed a significative difference between counting of red blood and white blood cells, plasmatic total protein and seric biochemistry evaluated statistics. The exams laboratories are important as resources in the diagnosis of the distemper, mainly the hematological alterations, biochemistries and electrophoresis, can aid in the therapeutic conduct of this illness.
