Platelet function in cats with hyperthyroidism Hiebert JFMS 2020
Platelet function, as measured by closure time under high shear conditions using C-ADP as an agonist, was not affected by hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is not a risk factor for subclinical bacteriuria in cats: A prospective cohort study JVIM 2020 Peterson
Hyperthyroid cats are not at risk for subclinical bacteriuria. In the absence of lower urinary tract signs, no clinical benefit exists in routinely performing urine cultures when evaluating hyperthyroid cats.
Evaluation of hemostasis in hyperthyroid cats
JVIM 2021 Keebaugh
evidence of altered hemostasis that does not appear to be solely attributable to cardiac abnormalities, but no evidence of a hypercoagulable state.
resolves after RIT
ncreased vWF : Ag which could potentiate thrombogenesis.
Prevalence and clinical relevance of hypercobalaminaemia in dogs and cats Vet Journal 2020 Kather
hypercobalaminaemia can occur in dogs and cats with severe inflammatory, immune-mediated, and neoplastic conditions
Naturally-occurring hypercobalaminaemia occurs infrequently
Changes in thyroid and renal function after bilateral thyroidectomy in cats JVIM 2019 Covey
persistent, or recurrent, hyperthyroidism 22%
hypothyroid 49%
Both SDMA and creatinine are affected by thyroxine concentrations, and the effect is greater in hyperthyroid cats.
Urinary free metanephrines measurement in dogs with adrenal gland diseases using a new simple liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method JVIM 2021 Sasaki
results of this preliminary retrospective study suggest that the measurement of urinary free metanephrines is a promising tool for diagnosing canine PC.
Retrospective evaluation of the use of hydrocortisone for treatment of suspected critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) in dogs with septic shock (2010-2017): 47 cases Summer JVECC 2021
HC-treated patients had a higher baseline risk of mortality
there was no significant difference in survival
Critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency in dogs with systemic inflammatory response syndrome: A pilot study in 21 dogs Vet J 2021 Marchetti
CIRCI and low-dose hydrocortisone treatment were not significantly associated with mortality, but basal hypercortisolemia was associated with increased mortality.
Accuracy of a flash glucose monitoring system in dogs with diabetic ketoacidosis JVIM 2020
provides clinically accurate estimates of BG in dogs with DKA.
Glargine versus regular insulin protocol in feline diabetic ketoacidosis JVECC 2021 Zeugswetter
asal-bolus administration of glargine insulin appears to be an effective and safe alternative to the current standard CRI-protocol for the management of DKA in cats.
Use of lispro insulin for treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis in cats JVIM 2019 Malerba
IV CRI of lispro insulin has few side effects and appears to be as effective as IV CRI of regular insulin in the treatment of cats with DKA.
Coagulation parameters in hyperthyroid cats before and after radioiodine treatment compared with healthy controls Cui JFMS 2019
Based on some of the coagulation parameters, cats with hyperthyroidism showed hypercoagulable tendencies, which were mildly increased after RIT, possibly due to transient radiation-induced thyroiditis.
Fibrinogen was significantly higher hyperT4
Persistent increases in fibrinogen, PT, TEG maximal amplitude and TEG clot rigidity, reflecting clot stability, after RIT primarily occurred in the cats with normal T4
Ultrasound evaluation of adrenal gland size in clinically healthy dogs and in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism (HAC) Melian Vet record 2021
The sensitivity of ultrasonography to detect adrenomegaly in dogs with HAC is high when using four weight categories (The sensitivity of ultrasound to detect adrenomegaly in dogs with HAC was 95.6%).
equivocal adrenal asymmetry is common (39.6%) in dogs with HAC.
