ultrasonography is one of the tools that started to use recently in human and
veterinary medicine for this purpose. Currently, there are many studies to
investigate methods of earlier diagnosis of prognosis of renal and hepatic
diseases. However there is stil no consensus among researchers about the normal
values. To our knowledge no systematical research exits revealing the normal
values of Kangal breed dogs. Our purpose in this research is to determine the
normal renal and hepatic doppler values of Kangal breed. For this purpose, 30
Turkish Kangal dogs and 20 healty dogs from several breeds were included to the
study. The mean value of renal resistive index (RI) and pulsative index (PI)
were 0,65±0,04 and 1.13±0,05 for Turkish Kangal dogs; 0,64±0,08 and 1.12±0,05
for different breed dogs. For the hepatic RI and PI values 0,65±0,04 and, 1.16±0,03
for Turkish Kangal dogs; 0.63±0,04 and 1.15±0.04 for different breed dogs
respectively.  The hepatic  and renal PI and RI values of Kangal dogs
were found to be compatible with other breeds.  </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Afyon Kocatepe University}
