İshalli buzağılarda üre, kreatinin ve üre/kreatinin oranlarının belirlenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada ishalli buzağılarda üre, kreatin (Crea) ve üre/kreatinin oranının (UCR) belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmanın materyalini 20 ishalli buzağı ve 10 sağlıklı buzağı oluşturdu. İshalli buzağıların etiyolojileri belirlendikten sonra kan örnekleri alındı ve üre, kreatinin ve UCR düzeyleri belirlendi. Çalışmanın sonuçları ishalli buzağılarda kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak önemli derecede yüksek üre ve UCR düzeyi tespit edildi. Crea düzeyindeki artış ise istatistiksel olarak önemsizdi. Çalışmanın sonuçları ishalli buzağılarda böbrek yetmezliğinin değerlendirilmesinde UCR’nin önemli bir biyobelirteç olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.

Determination of urea, creatinine and urea/creatinine ratios in calves with diarrhoea

Abstract

The objective of this study was to ascertain the levels of urea, creatinine (Crea) and the urea/creatinine ratio (UCR) in calves presenting with diarrhoea. The material of the study consisted of 20 calves with diarrhoea and 10 healthy calves. Once the aetiology of diarrhoeal calves had been determined, blood samples were taken, and urea, creatinine and UCR levels were determined. The findings of the study indicated that the levels of urea and UCR were statistically significantly elevated in calves with diarrhoea in comparison to the control group. However, the increase in creatinine level was statistically insignificant. The results of the study revealed that UCR is an important biomarker in the evaluation of renal failure in calves with diarrhoea.
