Bacterial Nephritis in Dogs and Its Management

چکیده
Kidneys are the most vital organs of the dogs which helps to excrete the metabolic waste products from the body and to maintain the electrolyte, water and other solute balances. These kidneys time to time suffer from the bacterial infections causing bacterial nephritis due to the infections of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Enterococcus, Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. etc. causing 'uremia' in dogs (Osborne et.al., 1972) and ultimately leading to coma and subsequent death. To detect the main bacteriological agents causing bacterial nephritis and to observe the blood-biochemical changes of nephritis before and after therapy, this study was carried out for a period of 16 weeks in the clinical cases of bacterial nephritis in dogs.

Search for Borrelia burgdorferi in kidneys of dogs with suspected "Lyme nephritis".
BACKGROUND "Lyme nephritis" is a poorly characterized condition associated with proteinuria and often fatal renal failure in dogs with serological evidence of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine if intact B. burgdorferi organisms were present in the kidneys of serologically Lyme-positive dogs with histopathologic features of Lyme nephritis. ...

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of a short ureter on renal function and histology in an orthotopic bladder substitution model using a long afferent limb, in a canine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included nine adult mongrel dogs. A 40-cm segment of ileum was isolated, the distal half detubularized, configured into a U-shape and sutured to form a flat plate; this was then used to augme...

متن کاملNephritis and Its Influence upon Hemoglobin Production in Experimental Anemia
Spontaneous glomerulonephritis develops not infrequently (11 per cent incidence) in the anemia colony. The course of the nephritis is insidious and usually extends over several years but ends in uremia, often with terminal bronchopneumonia. Hemoglobin production in these standard anemic dogs is well established as related to various standard food factors. These tests are summarized in the table...
متن کاملIsolation of Clostridium difficile and molecular detection of binary and A/B toxins in faeces of dogs
The aim of this study was to isolate Clostridium difficile from dogs’ faeces, and to study the frequency of its virulence genes. A total of 151 samples of dogs’ faeces were collected. The isolation of C. difficile was performed by using the bacterial culture methods followed by DNA extraction using boiling method. Multiplex PCR method was performed for identification of tcdA, tcdB, cdtA and cdt...
