Relationship between Total Homocysteine, Folic Acid, and Thyroid Hormones in Hypothyroid Dogs

Abstract: BackgroundBoth elevated homocysteine and decreased folic acid concentrations are observed in human patients with hypothyroidism and can influence the development of numerous secondary disorders.ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to assess total homocysteine concentration in serum and to examine its relationship with the concentration of folic acid and thyroid hormones (tT4 and fT4).AnimalsTen healthy and 19 hypothyroid client‐owned dogs.MethodsDogs with clinical signs of hypothyroidism had the diagnosis confir… Show more

“…A decreased glomerular filtration rate has been associated with increased serum HCY in hypothyroid dogs [2]. Although, dogs with overt chronic kidney disease (CKD) were not included in the study, glomerular filtration rate was not measured.…”

“…In veterinary medicine, altered serum HCY concentrations have been reported in healthy dogs and dogs with various diseases. For instance, HCY has been reported to increase in dogs with heart and kidney disease [10] and in hypothyroid dogs [2]. The association between elevated serum HCY concentration and hypocobalaminemia has been demonstrated in Shar-Pei dogs with chronic diarrhoea [11].…”

“…However, increased serum or plasma HCY concentrations are less specific for intracellular lack of cobalamin than is increased serum MMA concentrations . Serum HCY concentrations can also be increased with renal insufficiency or hypothyroidism …”

“…Laut Autoren kann bei einer Cobalaminkonzentration < 209 ng/l im Blut von einem Mangel ausgegangen werden und eine Messung der MMA ist somit nicht erforderlich (48). Homocystein lässt sich als Diagnostikum beim familiären Cobalaminmangel des Chinese Shar Pei heranziehen (22), allerdings erst nach Ausschluss anderer Erkrankungen wie Nephropathien, Kardiopathien, Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) und Hypothyreose (19,35,36). Neben diesen in der Veterinärmedizin untersuchten Erkrankungen mit Einfluss auf die Homocysteinkonzentration wurden beim Menschen weitere korrelierende Faktoren nachgewiesen.…”
