Final Flashcards
Hypoglycaemia
- induced (drugs) or spontaneous (hunting dog, decreased G Production or increased G consumption)
New born piglet hypoglycaemia
- 1st 2 days of life
- predisposition = undeveloped gluconeogenetic enzyme
- conditions: sow dependent, piglet dependent and environment
- hypoglycaemia due to increased G consumption =organic hyperinsulinemia, cachexia and neoplasms
dairy cow ketosis
- disturbed carb and lipid metabolism
- type 1: starving, skinny cow syndrome
- type 2: spontaneous, fat cow syndroe
- type 3: alimentary, XS amount of butyric acid
- predisposition = physiologically lower blood glucose
- incidence = NEB period- clinically = cerebral hypoenergosis, intoxication with ketones (neurologic) and inappetence, weight loss (digestive)
hyperglycaemia
- physiological = alimentary or postprandial
- pathological = insulin deficiency or insulin resistance
- consequences: oxidative stress, polyuria, if very high = blindness, diabetes ketaoacidosis
hyperosmolar coma
- type 2 diabetes
- complete failure of insulin effect
- dehydration, hypovolemia, decrease glomerular filtration
- absence of ketoacidosis
diabetes mellitus
- metabolic disease with hyperglycaemia -> absence/insufficient inuslin
- type 1/2
- insulin dependent; dogs, hyperglycaemia with hypoinsulinemia, genetic, pancreatitis, distrubed amylin transport, treated with oral hypoglycaemia drugs
complications of diabetes mellitus
- acute = consequence of high hyper/hypoglycaemia
- chronic = blood vessel pathology or sorbitol pathway activaition (swelling, cellular dysfunction)
hormones in hyperglycaemia
- increase insulin antagonist conc:
= STH: decrease number of insulin receptors
= glucagon:enhances glycogenolysis + gluconeogenesis
= glucocorticoids: decrease postreceptoral effects
= catecholamines: enhance gluconeogenolysis
= progestins: enhance gluconeogenesis
equine paralytic myoglobinuria
- sudden paralysis 15-20mins after exertion
- restlessness, pain + stiff muscles
- sporadic and chronic
undernutirion
- primary or secondary = decrease intake, increase loss, increase demands (2)
- acute/chronic - cachexia activation of gluconeogenesis, lipid
- mobilisation, decrease glomerular filtration, intestinal villi atrophy. Mainly protein deficiency: insulin slows down protein catabolism
athersclerosis
- chronic progressive disease of arteries with cholesterol and triglycerides in arterial walls
- risk factors = hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipemia, hypertension
rhabdomyolysis
sporadic
= excessive physical acrivitywith concurrent viral infections
= electrolyte disbalance + endocrinological
chronic
= polysaccharide storage nmyopathies
pathogenesis
= disturbed reactions between energy intake and consumption in msucles
- mechanisal stressin muscle cells
what is ascites
fluid accumulation within abdominal cavity
causes of ascites
portal hypertension ->liver cirrhosis+ right side congestive heart failure
- hypoproteinaemia -> starvation
clinical signs of ascites
- distension of lower abdomen, abdomen pain + discomfort
- lethargy, decrease appetite, subcutaneous edema
cirrhosis
- end stage liver disease accompanied with diffuse fibrosis
- stenosis/occlusion of hepatic veins
- sinusoidal and portal hypertension
jaundice/icterus
- yellowish pigmentation of skin + mucous memrbanes
- haemolytic (pre hepatic), hepatocellular (hepatic), cholestatic (obstructive, post hepatic)
causes of haemolytic icterus
- excess RBC destruction -> increase bilirubin foramtion
1. obligate intracellular paraistes: babesia -> destroys RBC
2. other microorganisms: bacteria + virus
3. immune mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA) - autoimmune haemolytic naemia
- neonatal isoerhtyrolysis in foals
mechanism of haemolytic jaundice
- increase haemolysis ->increase production of bilirubin in spleen
- increase unconjugated bilirubin into the liver
- liver to intestine is increased conjugated bilirubin, converted to: increased stercobilin, increase absorption of urobilinogen and increase urobilin in urine
hepatocellular jaundice
- disorders of hepatocyte function -> impaired bilirubin metabolism -> decrease bilirubin conjugation and uptake and impaired excretion
causes of hepatocellular jaundice
- infectious hepatitis: leptospirosis, salmonellosis
- toxic hepatitis = inhalation anaeshtetic
- hepatic lipidosis = fat infiltration of hepatocytes
- liver fibrosis and cirrhosis
mechanism of hepatocellular jaundice
- decrease bilirubin uptake by hepatocyte andconjugation
- impaired bilirubin excretion into bile canaliculi
- urobilinogen decerease, stercobilin decrease and results in pale faeces
- increased urobilin, dark urine and increase bilirubin
obstructive icterus
- impaired flow by extrahepatic ducts
- intraluminal (gallstone, parasite)
- extraluminal (tumour/inflammation)
mechanism of obstructive icterus
- conjugated bilirubin stays in liver + returns to systemic circulation, urobilinogen + stercogilin decreased = pale/fatty stool
- conjugated bilirubin increase in blood, in kidney decrease in urobilin and increase in biliruibin - greenish urine
fatty liver
- accumulation of triglycerides in cytosol of hepatocyte
- liver enlargement, yellow discolouration
mechanism of fatty liver development
- increased influx to liver from feed by chylomicrons:
- increase feed lipid content, increased FA esterification in hepatocytes, increase VLDL formation - increase lipid influx to liver from adipose tissue
- energy deficit, increaselipidmetbaolism,increased FAoxidation and in hepatocyte and esterification
- insufficiency VLDL formation
- TG deposition in hepatocytes - increased fa and TG syntehesis from carbs
- increased feed carb content
- exceed blood glucose, increase FA esterification
Von Willebrand disease
- inherited deficiency/abnormality of the factor
- disorders of primary haemostats
- spontaneous mucosal bleeding
- slow wound healing
- stored in platelet granules and endothelial cells
Role in primary haemostats - platelet binding to sub endothelial collagen
- platelet aggregation and plug stabilisation
- bind FVIII and protect from degradation
vWD deficiency - platelet plug formation
classification
type 1, 2 and 3
DIC
complex haemostats disorders
- excessive activation of haemostats with subsequent generation of excess thrombin and multiple clot formation caused by underlying disease
- sepsis, neoplasm, metastatic tumours
DIC
complex haemostats disorders
- excessive activation of haemostats with subsequent generation of excess thrombin and multiple clot formation caused by underlying disease
- sepsis, neoplasm, metastatic tumours
ruminal acidosis
- too much feed rich in easily digestible CH
- too much acidic feed/ lack of fibre
acute/chronic
