Predisposition to acute pancreatitis in dogs with severe acute renal failure

ABSTRACT: Patients with acute renal failure often have a negative energy balance, which promotes metabolic changes predisposing to complications. The objective of this study was evaluate laboratory parameters 30 dogs severe failure, assess their relationship the possibility developing pancreatitis due and correlate these findings degree failure. Serum concentrations urea, creatinine, beta-hydroxybutyrate, triglycerides, amylase, total lipase, canine pancreatic lipase were compared between healthy A greater serum concentration beta-hydroxybutyrate activity enzymes, particularly as well stronger correlation latter creatinine concentrations, related occurrence in patients implied predisposition pancreatitis.
