Abstract

The present study aimed to examine two glomerular markers (urinary albumin, uALB; urinary C-reactive protein, uCRP) in healthy dogs and in dogs infected with Dirofilaria immitis, and to identify some possible changes in these markers after therapy with ivermectin and doxycycline. Twenty dogs with D. immitis infection positive by both the Knott method and SNAP 4Dx (IDEXX, USA) test were included in the research, as well as twelve clinically healthy dogs of similar age which served as controls. Glomerular biomarkers (meаn, SD) increased significantly in dogs with heartworm disease (uAlB/Creatinine, Cr mg/g: 527.57±312.54; uCRP/Cr mg/g: 0.520±0.624), compared to control dogs (uAlB/Cr mg/g: 94.44±56.50; uCRP/Cr mg/g: below detection limit). Six months after the initial examination and the simultaneous treatment, all glomerular markers were considerably decreased and did not difer from those in healthy animals. In conclusion, the observed changes in glomerular biomarkers clearly indicated the transient nature of glomerular dysfunction caused by the heartworm infection in dogs, which may be of clinical relevance.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı sağlıklı ve Dirofilaria immitis ile enfekte köpeklerde ve ivermectin ve doxcycline ile tedavi sonrasında iki glomerüler markırdaki (üriner albumin, uALB; üriner C-reaktif protein, uCRP) muhtemel değişimleri araştırmaktır. Çalışmada Knott metodu and SNAP 4Dx (IDEXX, USA) testleriyle D. immitis ile enfekte olduğu tespit edilen yirmi köpek ile birlikte kontrol olarak aynı yaş grubunda klinik olarak sağlıklı 12 adet köpek kullanıldı. Kontrol grubuyla (uAlB/Cr mg/g: 94.44±56.50; uCRP/Cr mg/g: tespit limitinin altı) karşılaştırıldığında kalp kurdu olan köpeklerin glomerüler biomarkırlarında (ortalama, Standart sapma) (uAlB/Kreatin, Cr mg/g: 527.57±312.54; uCRP/Cr mg/g: 0.520±0.624) artma olduğu belirendi. İlk bakıdan sekiz ay sonra ve takip eden tedavi sonrasında tüm glomerüler markırların dikkati çeken derecede azaldığı ve sağlıklı olan hayvanların değerlerinden farklılık göstermediği belirlendi. Sonuç olarak, biomarkır değerlerinde gözlenen değişikliklerin köpeklerde kalp kurdu enfeksiyonu nedenli glomerüler disfonksiyonun değişken doğasını açıkça ortaya koyduğu ve bu durumun klinik değeri olabileceği gösterilmiştir.
