Clinical, haematological and biochemical studies on the uterine torsion in Egyptian buffaloes

Studies on the prognostic test for uterine torsion in Surti buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)

“…Serum creatinine subsequently decreased after fetal delivery and reached to near normal level after 24 hr of fetal delivery (1.51±0.02 mg/dl). The present result supports the previous findings (Amer et al, 2008 [2,31,34,29,20,17,35] . The increased levels of serum creatinine could be related to stress conditions exerted on the affected buffaloes with concomitantly reduced blood flow to the kidneys and ~ 364 ~ reproductive tract.…”

“…AST level decreased 24 hr after fetal delivery (78.89±0.27 U/L). Similar findings were seen in previous studies (Amer et al, 2008; Jeengar et al, 2015b; Tripathi and Mehta, 2016) [2,17,35] . It was indicated that uterine torsion affects the liver of the animal due to endotoxins resulting from muscle damage (Farrage et al, 1984) [10] .…”

“…When physical examination fails to yield a diagnosis or prognosis in difficult cases, blood analysis may help to identify the problem. Biochemical parameters can exclude some diseases, and if there are abnormalities, they might aid in establishing a prognosis and developing a therapeutic plan (Amer et al, 2008;Hussein and Abd Ellah, 2008;Amin et al, 2011) [2,15,3] . In the present study is required to evaluate prognosis of torsion affected buffalo based on level of hepatic and renal damage collectively with duration to have recovery so that appropriate therapeutic regime may be applied.…”
