Assessment of Hematological Parameters and Uterine Hemodynamic Indices in Bitches with Pyometra

Background: Pyometra is defined as chronic purulent inflammation of the uterus that causes changes in hematological and biochemical parameters. The disease characterized with bacterial infection pus accumulation uterus. Transabdominal B-mode ultrasonography provides easy certain diagnosis this disease. hemodynamic pyometra are evaluated by Doppler ultrasonography. aim study to determine parameters indices bitches pyometra, diestrus healthy evaluate relationship between within both groups.Materials, Methods & Results: A total number 27 were enrolled study. (group H; n = 7) aged 6.2 ± 1.14 years, weighted 14.57 3.75 kg. PYO; 20) 9.1 0.62 years 17.65 2.60 Before all had ovariohisterectomy, analyses performed. (USG) was performed a 6.6 MHz convex transducer. widest cross-sectional uterine diameter (UD), wall thickness horns (UWT) presence luminal content evaluated. Diameter artery (DUA) measured on mapped color image using USG software program. examination carried out pulsed-wave characterize waveform (UA). Anechogenic areas lumen, increase UD UWT observed group PYO. All cases PYO ranging from 1.2 5.6 cm. DUAs H 1.75 0.03 mm, 1.94 0.08 mm; respectively (P < 0.05). PI RI values lower than 0.001). Hematological analysis results showed RBC, HGB, HCT levels However, WBC, NEU, LYM, MONO higher H. Hemodynamic positively correlated HCT, whereas they inversely UWT. Also, value negatively MONO.Discussion: Cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) predisposing factor for development bitches. Besides, naturally occurring CEH can arise independently each other. enlarged body exhibits intense exudative processes due proliferative stimulation infections. Uterine infections associated blood flow. Elevated flow, vasodilatation angiogenesis during inflammatory response. process leads diminution arteries. Total count affected pyometra. leukocytes worsening prognosis. Erythrocyte diapedesis into lumen uterus, toxic depression erythropoiesis bone marrow cause anemia. In conclusion, strongly Reduced HGB levels, decreased elevated UD, UWT, DUA To our knowledge, first
