| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> The aim of this study is to determine prognosis and prevent
potential complications in blood samples taken from stray
dogs brought into the surgery clinic with complaints of trauma
based on hematology, blood gas, serum biochemistry and oxidative
stress levels.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> The study was conducted on 15 traumatized
stray dogs and 9 healthy dogs. The obtained blood
samples were analyzed for hematology, blood gas, serum biochemistry
[alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase
(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine kinase
(CK), Phosphorus (P), cholesterol (Chol), creatinine (Crea),
gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH), total protein (TP), triglyceride (Trig), blood urea nitrogen
(BUN)] and thiobarbutyric acid reactive substance (TBARs)
values.<p>
<b>Results:</b> ALP, AST, CK, P, Crea and TBARs levels were different in
traumatized dogs compared to healthy dogs (p˂0.05). Lactate
and monocyte values were higher, while potassium and ionized
calcium values were lower compared to reference values of
dogs in blood gas and hematologic values.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> As a result, the biochemical profile varies depending
on the extent of trauma in traumatized dogs, whereas high
levels of oxidative stress related to the severity of trauma in
dogs with no other underlying disease can be considered as a
biological marker. However, in order to determine the prognosis
and prevent the complications, further studies are needed to establish
more specific markers. |
