Anemia in a dog
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Laboratory findings A blood sample was submitted by mail to the Clinical Pathology Laboratory, University Animal Hospital, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden, for a complete hematological profile. The hematology analysis was performed on an Advia 2120 hematology instrument (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Erlangen, Germany) and by evaluation of a May‐Grünwald Giemsa stained blood smear. The blood sample was run twice on the hematology instrument because the results from the first run came with many flags. The results from the second run differed from the results from the first run but the flags were similar.

Background: Splenic infarction (SI) is a rare clinical entity seldom encountered in veterinary medicine. Its most frequent causes include thromboembolic status, splenomegaly, and cardiac disease. Although thrombotic elements from the circulation provide the most common context for thromboembolic SIs, immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) has not been reported as an underlying...
متن کاملLeptospirosis and immune-mediated hemolytic anemia: A lethal association
Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) is a common cause of anemia in dogs. The immune aggression towards erythrocytes can be triggered by many pathological conditions such as infection, inflammatory disease or neoplasia. Upon ruling out any eliciting conditions, a diagnosis of the primary immune-mediated disease can be made. In this particular case of severe anemia (tested positive for circul...

متن کاملA DOG's View of Fanconi Anemia: Insights from C. elegans
C. elegans provides an excellent model system for the study of the Fanconi Anemia (FA), one of the hallmarks of which is sensitivity to interstrand crosslinking agents. Central to our understanding of FA has been the investigation of DOG-1, the functional ortholog of the deadbox helicase FANCJ. Here we review the current understanding of the unique role of DOG-1 in maintaining stability of G-ri...

A 12-year-old female Shih Tzu dog was referred with diarrhea. Hematological examination indicated severe non-regenerative anemia. Bone marrow aspiration smears and core biopsy specimens revealed normal bone marrow. Based on those results, non-regenerative immune-mediated anemia was diagnosed. The dog was initially treated using prednisolone and cyclosporine. However, this treatment regimen did ...

THE study by Nahas 1 and preliminary reports from this and other laboratories suggested that the cardiovascular responses to both acute anemia and acute hypoxia are reduced by adrenalectomy, sympathectomy or autonomic blockade. The following experiments were done to re-evaluate the relative importance of the sympathetic nerves and the adrenal medulla in the cardiac responses of the dog to acute...
