Electrolytes Flashcards
Evaluation of urine electrolytes for the diagnosis of hypoadrenocorticism in dogs Dropkin 2021 Vet clin path
Urine electrolyte concentrations and fractional excretions are altered in dogs with HA. However, substantial overlap exists with control dogs with nonadrenal illness. Therefore, these values are unlikely to have diagnostic utility for dogs with HA.
Clinical relevance of serum electrolytes in dogs and cats with acute heart failure: A retrospective study Roche-Catholy JVIM 2021
hypochloremia observed in 24% (9/46 dogs and 10/34 cats) of cases. In dogs only, a significant negative correlation was identified between serum chloride concentrations at admission and furosemide doses both at discharge and at end-stage heart failure.
-suggests that hypochloremia could serve as a marker of disease severity and therapeutic response in dogs with acute CHF.
Correction of serum chloride concentration in dogs with congestive heart failure JVIM 2021 Adin
Serum [Cl- ] increased after mathematical correction in Stage D CHF dogs but not in Stage C and NO-CHF dogs. Although corrected[Cl- ] was higher than measured[Cl- ] in Stage D dogs supportive of relative water excess, hypochloremia persisted, consistent with concurrent loop diuretic effects on electrolytes. Future study correlating corrected[Cl- ] to antidiuretic hormone concentrations is warranted.
Calcium and phosphate homeostasis in dogs with newly diagnosed naturally occurring hypercortisolism Corsin JVIM 2021
Urine loss of calcium and hyperphosphatemia could contribute to the adrenal secondary hyperparathyroidism
Serum D-lactate concentrations in dogs with parvoviral enteritis JVIM 2020 Venn
Serum D-lactate concentrations are higher in dogs with CPV compared to healthy controls but do not appear to be clinically relevant. No relationship identified between serum D-lactate concentrations and markers of CPV disease severity, acid-base status, or outcome.
Sequential changes in urine production, glomerular filtration rate, and electrolyte excretion after mannitol administration JVIM 2019 Segev
Mannitol has minimal effect on urine production and GFR but does increase FE of urea nitrogen and sodium, immediately after bolus injection. Constant rate infusion at a conventional dosage of 1 mg/kg/min cannot maintain these effects in dogs with normal renal function, because mannitol concentration decreases rapidly.
Comparison of the effects of 7.2% hypertonic saline and 20% mannitol on electrolyte and acid-base variables in dogs with suspected intracranial hypertension JVIM 2021 Hoehne
dogs receiving HTS showed sustained increases in plasma sodium and chloride concentrations, whereas dogs receiving MAN showed transient decreases
Role of electrolyte abnormalities and unmeasured anions in the metabolic acid-base abnormalities in dogs with parvoviral enteritis JVIM 2020 Burchell
Major contributors to the acid-base changes were hyponatremia, hypochloremia, and Atot acidosis because of elevated globulins and increased UA.
Semiquantitative acid-base analysis in dogs with typical hypoadrenocorticism JVECC 2021 Osborne
A mixed disorder was most common
All dogs had ≥1 acidifying process, and 29 of 33 had both acidifying and alkalinizing processes.
Acidosis attributable to excess free water was present in all dog
Electrolyte measurements differ between point-of-care and reference analysers in dogs with hypoadrenocorticism JSAP 2020 Fowlie
There are inherent differences between the electrolyte concentrations measured by these two point-of-care analysers and reference laboratory methods in dogs with hypoadrenocorticism.
Retrospective evaluation of refeeding syndrome in cats: 11 cases (2013-2019) JFMS 2021
hypophosphataemia and hypokalaemia, altered glucose homeostasis and organ damage involving the liver and kidneys were common. Cats with RS appear to have a good prognosis, but prolonged intensive care is required.
Association between computed tomographic thoracic injury scores and blood gas and acid-base balance in dogs with blunt thoracic trauma 2019 JVECC Kirberger
The functional measures of arterial blood oxygenation were well correlated with thoracic CT pathology. Alveolar ventilation was mostly spared but a clinically significant ventilation perfusion mismatch was present
Retrospective evaluation of the severity of and prognosis associated with potassium abnormalities in dogs and cats presenting to an emergency room (January 2014-August 2015): 2441 cases JVECC Hoehene
Moderate to severe hypokalemia was most commonly associated with gastrointestinal disease
Moderate to severe hyperkalemia was most commonly associated with urinary tract disease
Dogs with hypokalemia and dogs and cats with hyperkalemia, had significantly greater mortality than those with normokalemia.
