“…Serial sampling of peritoneal fluid did not result in any adverse effects during this experimental period, corroborating previous findings (Juzwiak et al 1991, Mendes et al 1999, and therefore can be considered a safe technique. However, abdominocentesis should be performed with care since complications, although uncommon, have been reported and can be serious (Tulleners 1983).…”

“…In horses and calves, it has been established that neither enterocentesis nor serial collection of peritoneal fluid has any significant effect on results of peritoneal fluid analysis [10,5] . Similarly, in this study, there was no effect of repeated abdominocentesis on peritoneal fluid analyses.…”

“…Inflammation of the peritoneal membrane results in the effusion of large amounts of fluid containing various inflammatory cells and mediators into the peritoneal cavity [4] . Clinical diagnosis of peritonitis depends on the demonstration of changes in the peritoneal fluid cellular and biochemical constituents [2,3,4,5] . In normal, non-pregnant, Awassi sheep, peritoneal fluid TNCC values of 3.6×10 and 16% neutrophils were considered normal [6] .…”

Abstract:No reports could be cited in the recent literature concerning the effects of surgical castration on blood and peritoneal fluid constituents in lambs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of surgical castration on cellular and some biochemical parameters of blood and peritoneal fluid in Awassi lambs. Eight, clinically healthy, 5-month-old, Awassi lambs were surgically castrated. Peritoneal fluid and blood samples were collected prior to castration (day 0) and on days 1, 3 and 7 post castration. Total nucleated cell count (TNCC) was determined using an electric cell counter. Total protein (TP), albumin, fibrinogen, creatinine, urea, glucose, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations were analyzed using commercially available kits. Following castration, the number of peripheral fluid white blood cells (WBC) and the percentage of neutrophils significantly increased (p<0.05) while the percentage of lymphocytes significantly decreased (p<0.05). The blood fibrinogen, urea, creatinine, glucose, ALP, AST and LDH concentrations significantly increased (p<0.05). However, TP concentrations did not change. In the peritoneal fluid analysis, the total WBC count and the percentage of neutrophils significantly increased (p<0.05) while the percentage of monocytes significantly decreased (p<0.05) following the operation. There was no significant change (p>0.05) in the percentage of lymphocytes in the peritoneal fluid. The concentration of peritoneal fluid TP, urea, creatinine, glucose, ALP and AST significantly increased (p<0.05) while LDH concentration did not change. Results of this study show that changes in the blood and peritoneal fluid cellular and biochemical components are likely to follow elective surgical castration in lambs. These changes must be taken in consideration when peritoneal fluid samples from lambs are evaluated for the diagnosis of abdominal diseases.

“…Estas alterações podem ter ocorrido em resposta à perfuração do peritôneo por ocasião, principalmente, da paracentese da fossa paralombar direita, mais como reação ao trauma e/ou aspiração de ar ambiente para a cavidade peritoneal, uma vez que a paracentese ventral seriada não contribui para o aparecimento de alterações clínico-laboratoriais em eqüinos (JUSWIAK et al, 1991). Reforça essa hipótese o não aparecimento de bactérias na cultura do líquido após semeadura e incubação em estufa, uma vez que o isolamento de bactérias é um indicador definitivo de contaminação do peritôneo.…”
