Acute-phase proteins as diagnostic markers in horses with colic.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the diagnostic potential of the concentrations of acute-phase proteins serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin (Hp), and fibrinogen in blood and peritoneal fluid (PF) for differentiating horses with inflammatory colic (entero-colitis and peritonitis) from those with surgical colic. DESIGN Prospective observational multicenter study. SETTING Two university referral hospit...
متن کاملInfluence of Disease Process and Duration on Acute Phase Proteins in Serum and Peritoneal Fluid of Horses with Colic
BACKGROUND The acute phase proteins (APP) serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin, and fibrinogen are valuable blood biomarkers in equine inflammatory diseases, but knowledge of factors influencing their concentrations in blood and peritoneal fluid (PF) of horses with colic is needed. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of demographics (age, sex, breed), disease...
متن کاملAcute Phase Proteins as Markers of Diseases in Farm Animals
Acute phase proteins have been studied widely in human medicine, especially as biomarkers of diseases, inflammatory processes and various infections, to diagnose and monitor the success of diseases, as well as to follow-up the treatment in clinical praxis (Hilliquin, 1995; Deans & Wigmore, 2005; Endre & Westhuyzen, 2008). However, the possible influence of inflammatory conditions on the concent...
متن کاملEffect of hydroxyethyl starch solution in normal horses and horses with colic or acute colitis.
Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solution is an effective colloidal infusion solution in humans for treatment of hypovolaemic shock, but it has not been compared with fluids currently available for use in horses. On the basis of plasma-expanding effect of HES in normal horses, a 10% medium-molecular 200/0.5 solution of HES was subsequently tested in hypovolaemic horses. Six normal horses were given fi...
متن کاملRisk factors associated with colic in horses.
Many factors have been identified as risk factors for colic in horses in several epidemiological studies. The aim of our paper was to review the results of 12 epidemiological studies, in order to assess the impact of each risk factor for colic. According to the literature, the factors that increase the risk of colic are feeding practices (type and quality of food, type and changes of feeding), ...
