Laboratory changes and post-death of a feline with positive chronic kidney disease for the feline immunodeficiency virus
Keywords:
Feline innunodeficiency, Chronic kdney disease, Laboratory findingsAbstract
Feline Viral Immunodeficiency (FIV) is an infectious pathology, in which the virus is present in the saliva of infected cats, which shows direct transmission through injuries caused by bites, in addition, vertical transmission can occur. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the pathologies most commonly seen in cats infected with IVF. The objective of the study was to describe a clinical case report of a feline with CKD with IVF, emphasizing his laboratory and post-mortem changes. At the Veterinary Hospital Adrisse, Fortaleza-CE, a feline, of mixed breed, of approximately seven years was attended. According to the tutor, the cat had run away from home, and when he returned, he had sporadic vomiting, diarrhea and anorexia for four days. On physical examination, he presented ataxia, apathy, degree of dehydration around 8%, abdominal pain, myoclonus, emesis, hypothermia, bilateral nystagmus, slightly jaundiced mucous membranes, malnutrition, concentrated urine, mouth ulcers and uremic breath. Complementary tests were requested: blood count and biochemical measurements (alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase), sodium, potassium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, calcium, urea, urine summary, abdominal ultrasound and snap® FIV/FeLV test. The diagnosis was conclusive through the FIV/FelV snap and CKD was confirmed by abdominal ultrasound and necropsy, through alterations compatible with the symptoms and laboratory findings. It can be concluded that in cats affected by FIV, clinical evaluation and diagnosis of kidney complications are essential, since there is a viral action in the triggering of kidney injuries, which can be identified through laboratory, ultrasound and necroscopic exams.
