Abstract

Bu çalışmada sağlıklı ve kırık bulgusu olan kedilerde D vitamini, kalsiyum, fosfor ve alkalen fosfataz (ALP) değerlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmanın materyalini klinik olarak sağlıklı (kontrol grubu) 20 kedi ve kırık bulgusu olan 30 kedi (kırık grubu) olmak üzere toplam 50 kedi oluşturdu. Kedilerde kırıkların tespiti için klinik ve radyografik muayeneleri yapıldı ve ardından tüm hayvanlardan alınan kan örneklerinde D vitamini, ALP, fosfor ve kalsiyum değerleri ölçüldü. Bulgulara göre kırık grubundaki hayvanların D vitamini ortalamasının 22.47±0.65 ng/ml, kontrol grubunda ise 21.34±0.80 ng/ml olduğunu belirlendi. Kalsiyum ortalamaları kırık grubunda 4.88±0.25 mg/dL, kontrol grubunda 4.78±0.27 mg/dL; fosfor ortalamaları kırık grubunda 6.92±2.00 mg/dL, kontrol grubunda 8.99±3.30 mg/dL; ALP ortalamaları ise kırık grubunda 90.40±26.73 U/L, kontrol grubunda 91.35±28.54 U/L olarak bulundu. Sonuç olarak, kırığı bulunan hayvan ile sağlıklı kediler arasındaki D vitamini, kalsiyum, fosfor ve ALP değerlerinde istatistiksel bir fark bulunmamış ve bu değerlerin normal sınırlar içinde olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Comparison of Vitamin D, Calcium, Phosphorus and Alkaline Phosphatase Values in Healthy and Fractured Cats

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the levels of vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in healthy cats and cats with fractures. This study included a total of 50 cats, comprising 20 clinically healthy cats in the control group and 30 cats with fractures in the fracture group. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed to diagnose fractures and blood samples were then collected from all animals to measure the levels of vitamin D, ALP, phosphorus, and calcium. According to the differences, the average vitamin D level in the fracture group was 22.47±0.65 ng/ml, while in the control group it was 21.34±0.80 ng/ml. The mean calcium levels were 4.88±0.25 mg/dL in the fracture group and 4.78±0.27 mg/dL in the control group; the mean phosphorus levels were 6.92±2.00 mg/dL in the fracture group and 8.99±3.30 mg/dL in the control group; and the mean ALP levels were 90.40±26.73 U/L in the fracture group and 91.35±28.54 U/L in the control group. In conclusion, no statistically significant difference were found in the vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, and ALP values between the fractured animal and the healthy cats, and it was determined that these values were within normal limits.
