Tox 2 Flashcards
Gossypol- tox type
Cardiac/hematopoietic
Gossypol- source
Cotton seed
Gossypol- MOA
Binds and inhibits dehydrogenase in oxidative stress response and less energy and protein production; chelates iron causing anemia and reduces protein availability
Gossypol- species
Non-ruminants more sensitive, horses less effected
Gossypol- CS
Anemia, general weight loss, weakness; end result- myocardial necrosis and CHF
Gossypol- dx
History, chemical analysis
Gossypol- necropsy lesions
Cardiac necrosis, edematous, pale, mottled heart with vaculoization
Gossypol- tx
High protein diet with vitamin A, iron, lysine
Blister beetle- toxic agent
Cantharidin
Cantharidin- species effected
Horses
Cantharidin- lethal dose
6-250 beetles
Cantharidin- tox type
Heart and GI
Cantharidin- MOA
Inhibition of protein phosphatases leading to cardiac toxicity, mucosal irritant
Cantharidin- CS
Colic, PU, diaphragm contraction with heartbeat, severe iritation/ulceration of epithelia, cardiac toxicity
Cantharidin- dx
Presence of bugs; ulceration of MM; labs: hypocalcemia, increased BUN; cardiac necrosis
Cantharidin- tx
GI decontamination and protection (sucralfate), antibiotics
What is the most common toxicity site
Kidney- proximal convoluted tubule
Why is the proximal convoluted tubule most susceptible to toxicity
p450 and cysteine conjugation of B-lyase- leads to bioactivation of metabolites which cause damage; loose epithelium allows compounds to enter cells; increased anion, cation, metal transport can lead to accumulation and ischemic injury.
Describe acute kidney injury (AKI)
Decreased GFR, renal azotemia from damage to tubule/GFR/vasculature
AKI- CS
V, GI bleed, PUPD leading to olig/anuria
Chronic renal failure (CRF)- describe
Related to secondary compensatory changes in response to initial injury
CRF- CS
edema, hypocalcemia, PTH activity, reduced RBC count
Ethylene glycol- tox type
Renal, CNS
Ethylene glycol- MOA
Metabolites made by alcohol dehydrogenase: glycolic acid- acidosis; glyoxylic acid- CNS; oxalate- binds Ca to cause renal damage via calcium oxalate
Ethylene glycol- stage 1
30 min-3 hours- ataxia, CNS depression, nausea/V, PUPD in dogs
Ethylene glycol- stage 2
12-24 hours- cardiopulmonary effects-tachypnea, tachycardia
Ethylene glycol- stage 3
12-72 hours (where most animals present) - PU leading to anuria, lethargy, anorexia, vomiting, seizures, oral ulcers, dehydration, enlarged kidneys
Ethylene glycol- dx
Concentration in blood (peak at 1-6 hours); gone from urine at 24 hours, cats below detectable; isosthenuria in 3 hours, crystalluria in 6. Hyperglycemia, hypocalcemia, anion gap, osmolal gap
Ethylene glycol- tx
Competitive inhibition of acohol dehydrogenase with 20% ethanol+sodium bicarb; 4MP or antizol
When is ethanol contraindicated in ethylene glucol
Renal failure
Eth glyc- charcoal?
Wont bind well
Cholicalciferol- tox type
kidney
Cholicalciferol- MOA
Increases Ca via all sources, choli–> 1,25 dehydrox
Cholicalciferol- organ effected most
Kidneys- then all others calcify
Cholicalciferol- Dx
Increased P then increased Ca, low PTH, azotemia, low USG, calciuria, multiple organ calcification
Cholicalciferol- tx
Saline/furosemide, prednisolone (blocks Ca absorb), calcitonin/pamidronate (SEs), sucralfate for ulcer, phos binder
Grape/raisin- tox type
kidney
Grape/raisin- CS
initial V then AKI
Grape/raisin- labs
hyper Ca, P, BUN
Grape/raisin- tx
Furosemide, fluids, Dopamine (renal blood flow), mannitol (osmoreg)
Acetaminophen- tox type
liver
