Glomerular Lipidosis in Dogs

Complex-Mediated Glomerular Disease in Dogs

Hepatic Lipidosis in Reptiles

1) Fat or too plentiful diets (associated to obesity and increased abdominal fat bodies). Diagnosed in badly fed crocodiles, lizards and turtles (Maccolini 2010). 2) Reduced activity. Absence of exercise. Diagnosed in monitors and turtles (Stahl 2003). 3) Physiologic disorder. Lack of hibernation. Lack of reproduction. Diagnosed in tortoises and iguanas. 4) Chronic hyporexia and stress. It decr...

Retinal abnormalities in ophthalmoplegic lipidosis.

Ophthalmoplegic lipidosis is a recently recognised neurovisceral storage disease which is also described as 'a neurovisceral storage disease with vertical supranuclear opthalmoplegia" or as 'juvenile dystonic lipidosis.'23 The clinical presentation varies, but there appear to be 3 groups of patients: firstly, those who present in infancy with failure to thrive, jaundice, and hepatosplenomegaly;...

Sphingomyelin lipidosis in a cat.

A 7-month-old Balinese cat with progressive neurological dysfunction had histopathological lesions of brain, liver, kidney, spleen, and lung consistent with a lysosomal storage disease. Ultrastructural examination revealed lysosomal hypertrophy with membranous inclusions. Hepatic sphingomyelin and cholesterol were elevated 10 times normal, and total phospholipids were increased 3.6 fold. Sphing...

Compensatory Renal Hypertrophy in Dogs: Single Nephron Glomerular Filtration Rate

Sodium ferrocyanide was used to measure the intrarenal distribution of single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) in remaining kidneys of dogs, 10 d after contralateral nephrectomy. It was first demonstrated that the renal function of both kidneys in situ was comparable. Following right nephrectomy, the urine volume, p-aminohippuric acid clearance, creatine clearance, osmolar clearance, ...
