Investigation of Plasma Lactate Concentration in Anemic Dogs

Öz

In many clinical situations, the importance of determining plasma lactate level is emphasised, while the effect of type and severity of anemia on plasma lactate concentration is not fully known. It was aimed to evaluate the effect of anemia type and severity on plasma lactate concentrations in dogs with anemia in this study. A total of 48 dogs (36 anemic, 12 healthy) of different breeds, ages and sexes were included in the study. Dogs with anemia were classified according to the severity and type of anemia. Hematologic evaluations included RBC, HGB, HCT, and MCV measurements. Plasma lactate concentrations were colourimetrically tested on a point-of-care analyser. Plasma lactate levels were significantly (P<0.05) higher in dogs with anemia than in healthy dogs. Plasma lactate levels were significantly (P<0.05) higher in dogs with severe anemia than in healthy dogs. Plasma lactate concentrations of dogs with regenerative anemia were significantly higher than healthy dogs, but there was no significant difference between regenerative and nonregenerative anemia groups for plasma lactate concentrations. This study concluded that the type and severity of anemia affect plasma lactate concentrations in dogs with anemia.
