Urinary Disease - Cattle Flashcards
what kidney disease is caused by clostridium perfringens type D
pulpy kidney disease
what is the outcome of pulpy kidney disease
causes proximal tubular degeneration and necrosis with interstitial edema and hemorrhage leading to “pulpy” appearance
what occurs when bacteria embolizes the kidney leading to microabscess and abscess formation
embolic nephritis (white spotted kidney)
true or false:
embolic nephritis is commonly subclinical and mild chronic cases are often incidental findings at necropsy with multifocal fibrosis
true
what can cause tubulointerstitial nephritis in the kidney
leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo
pomona
grippotyphosa
in which ruminant is tubulointerstitial nephritis most commonly seen
cattle
what plant toxicosis can cause granulomatous nephritis
hairy vetch toxicosis
true or false:
if left untreated, hair vetch toxicosis can be fatal
true
what occurs uncommonly in cattle and is the result of accumulation of suppurative exudate within the renal pelvis which may extend into tubules caused by ascending infections
pyelonephritis
what is the most common bacteria to cause pyelonephritis
corynebacterium renale
what is a very common neoplasm in cattle caused by BLV
renal lymphosarcoma
what is the most common toxicosis in cattle the can cause hemolysis, damage to the bone marrow and immunosuppression
bracken fern toxicosis
true or false:
repeated low levels of exposure to bracken fern is carinogenic – causing bladder tumors
true
what is caused by type AA amyloid which is associated with chronic inflammatory conditions and infections
renal amyloidosis
