An investigation was made to determine the effects of water deprivation induced dehydration on changes in urine specific gravity (Usg) and urine osmolality (Uosm) in 6 horses with normal renal function. In addition, the effects of dehydration on serum and urine urea nitrogen, creatinine and various electrolytes as well as the effects of dehydration on acid-base status were studied.Following water deprivation sufficient to produce 12–15% decrease in body weight, 95% of the normal horses should have a Usg of at least 1.042, a Uosm of 1310 mOsmg/kg and a urine osmolality/serum osmolality ratio of 4.14.After 72 hours of water deprivation, the mean weight loss was 13.5% of previous body weight. Serum and urine urea nitrogen concentrations increased by 68% and 130%, respectively, while plasma sodium and chloride concentrations increased by 10% and 14%, respectively. In contrast, urine chloride and calcium concentrations decreased by 90.8% and 52.5%, respectively. There was little change in plasma potassium, phosphorus or calcium concentrations. Urine sodium and potassium concentrations increased initially but were near normal after 72 hours of water deprivation. Azotemia developed and was considered to be of extrarenal origin on the basis of normal routine urinalysis and renal clearance ratio of sodium.  相似文献

Four lactating Friesian cows (average weight 485 kg, milk yield 22 kg d-1) were maintained in completely controlled circumstances and deprived of water for 72 hours. During this period they were carefully monitored and lost 100 kg in bodyweight, principally accounted for by cumulative losses of water in milk, urine, faeces and respired air. The mean rates of respiration and rumen contraction decreased by approximately 50 per cent. Mean body temperature increased by 0.5 degrees C, but pulse rate did not change significantly. Dry matter intake, particularly of hay, decreased rapidly to less than 10 per cent of normal on the third day. Milk yield decreased only slightly during the first 24 hours but on the third day the average yield was only 28 per cent of normal; the composition of the milk did not change significantly. There were significant progressive increases in serum sodium concentration (after four hours water deprivation), osmolality (after 24 hours), urea (after 38 hours), copper (after 48 hours) and magnesium and total protein concentration (after 62 hours); packed cell volume (measured with a Coulter Counter) increased after 38 hours but packed cell volume (determined in a microhaematocrit centrifuge) increased only after 62 hours. In spite of the dehydration the cows showed no signs of distress. Within 48 hours of the cows being given free access to water, bodyweight, appetite, milk yield and blood composition had returned almost completely to normal.  相似文献

Alterations in electrolyte and acid-base balance were studied in 6 horses for 8 hours after furosemide administration (1 mg/kg of body weight, IM), and the results were compared with those for 5 healthy untreated horses (controls) kept under identical environmental conditions. In the treated group, decreases in plasma potassium, chloride, and calcium concentrations and increases in total plasma protein content persisted for the 8-hour observation period, whereas there was no change in plasma sodium concentration, osmolality, or packed cell volume. Plasma bicarbonate concentration and PCO2 remained high throughout the study, during which time venous blood pH was modestly increased only at the 6-hour sampling time. Furosemide treatment resulted in decreases in urine pH, specific gravity, osmolality, and potassium and calcium concentrations and increases in urine volume and total urine sodium, chloride, and calcium excretion. Body weight decreased 19.2 +/- 5.2 kg (mean +/- SD) in treated horses (4 +/- 1% of body weight), compared with a weight loss of 8 +/- 2.1 kg in untreated horses (1.5 +/- 0.4% of body weight) during the 8-hour experimental period. The increased fluid losses induced by the diuretic did not cause any obvious clinical signs in the horses. Pulse pressure, skin turgor, capillary refill time, and jugular distensibility remained unchanged throughout the experimental period.  相似文献

In dogs, secondary polycythemia (SP) may be associated with polyuria and polydipsia (PU/PD). The pathogenesis of this PU/PD has not yet been explained. We hypothesized that hyperviscosity and increased blood volume in SP might affect vasopressin (VP) release, resulting in PU/PD. This hypothesis was tested in 2 dogs with SP caused by renal neo-plasia and PU/PD. Osmoregulation of VP release was studied by a modified water deprivation test and by investigating the VP response to hypertonic saline infusion.
Water deprivation test results were consistent with an inability to produce concentrated urine despite increasing plasma osmolality. During hypertonic saline infusion, the osmotic threshold of VP release was markedly increased in both dogs, resulting in a delayed VP response to increasing plasma osmolality. The sensitivity of VP release was low normal in both dogs. We conclude that blood hyperviscosity and increased blood volume led to impaired VP release and polyuria.  相似文献

Blood and urine chemical values at parturition in clinically normal Holstein cows (n = 12) were compared with the same values in Holstein cows developing udder edema (n = 12). There was no statistically significant mean difference between the 2 groups for the serum and urine chemical data. Furosemide (500 mg) given IV caused a significant increase in serum calcium and sodium, urine chloride, potassium, and sodium, and fractional excretional ratio of chloride, potassium, and sodium. There was a significant mean decrease in the serum potassium, urine creatinine, osmolality, pH, and specific gravity. Hydrochlorothiazide (250 mg) given IV caused a significant mean increase in serum chloride, urine chloride, potassium, and sodium, and fractional excretion ratio of chloride, potassium, and sodium. There was a significant mean decrease in serum potassium and sodium, urine osmolality, pH, and specific gravity. Acetazolamide (500 mg) given IV caused a significant mean increase in blood urea nitrogen, serum chloride and glucose, urine sodium, and fractional excretion ratio of sodium, while causing a significant mean decrease in serum potassium, sodium, and phosphorus, and urine creatinine. Dextrose (500 g) given IV as a 50% solution caused a statistical mean increase in serum glucose, urine chloride, potassium, and sodium, and fractional excretion ratio of chloride and potassium. A statistical mean decrease occurred in the packed cell volume, blood urea nitrogen, serum calcium, potassium, sodium, and phosphorus, urine creatinine, osmolality, and pH.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare health, hydration status, and management of stabled pregnant mares provided drinking water continuously or via 1 of 3 intermittent delivery systems. ANIMALS: 22 Quarter Horse (QH) or QH-crossbred mares and 18 Belgian or Belgian-crossbred mares (study 1); 24 QH or QH-crossbred mares and 18 Belgian or Belgian-crossbred mares (study 2). PROCEDURE: Stabled horses were provided water continuously or via 1 of 3 intermittent water delivery systems in 2 study periods during a 2-year period. Body temperature, attitude, appetite, water intake, and urine output were recorded daily. Hygiene of each horse and the stable were assessed weekly. Clinical and biochemical measures of hydration were determined 3 times during each study. Clinical measures of hydration included skin turgor, gum moisture, capillary refill time, and fecal consistency. Biochemical measures of hydration included PCV, plasma total protein concentration, serum osmolality, plasma vasopressin concentration, urine specific gravity, and urine osmolality. RESULTS: All horses remained healthy. Stable hygiene was worse when horses had continuous access to water. Clinical and biochemical measures of hydration did not differ among water delivery systems. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Various continuous and intermittent water delivery systems provided adequate amounts of water to stabled horses to maintain health and hydration status. Providing intermittent access to water may be preferable on the basis of stable hygiene.  相似文献

Six ponies were deprived of drinking water and food and compared over 24 hours with nondeprived ponies, ponies deprived of water but with food available, and ponies deprived of food but with water available. When food was eaten during water deprivation, plasma osmolality rose 4% from 284 mOsm/kg to 295 mOsm/kg. During water and food deprivation, plasma osmolality failed to rise, even over 24 hours, and usually fell. Packed cell volume was higher when food but not water was available. Food and/or water deprivation had no significant effect on plasma protein concentration. When food was available, the ponies drank three times more water (13.1 ± 2.1 kg) than when water but not food was available (3.5 ± 1.4 kg). Blood volume changes were calculated from packed cell volume and plasma protein data, and it was found that blood volume did not change significantly with deprivation. Urine volume did not vary with deprivation, but free water clearance changed significantly, falling when food but not water was available. Under these conditions, blood volume is maintained, but the mechanisms are not clear. When deprived of both drinking water and food, ponies failed to develop the hyperosmolality expected under these conditions. Water deprivation while food is available is a more powerful challenge to water and electrolyte homeostasis than deprivation of both food and water.  相似文献

Primary polydipsia is characterized by a marked increase in water intake and secondary polyuria, and in dogs often is described as a behavioral problem or a psychological disorder. We describe 4 dogs with primary polydipsia, diagnosed on the basis of a modified water deprivation test, in which further examination included serial measurements of urine osmolality (UOsm) and plasma vasopressin (VP) measurements during water deprivation and hypertonic saline infusion. The dogs, ranging in age from 4 months to 4 years, all were presented for evaluation of polyuria and polydipsia. Physical examination, routine blood chemistry, and urinalysis disclosed no specific cause for the polyuria and polydipsia. During serial measurements UOsm spontaneously reached high concentrations in 2 dogs, whereas in the other 2 dogs UOsm also fluctuated but on no occasion exceeded 1,000 mosm/kg. Primary polydipsia was diagnosed when UOsm exceeded 1,000 mosm/kg at the end of the modified water deprivation test and plasma osmolality did not exceed the upper limit of the reference range during testing. During water deprivation, plasma VP concentrations remained relatively low. The VP response to hypertonic saline infusion was abnormal, with an increased threshold value in 3 dogs, an increased sensitivity in 2 dogs, and an exaggerated response in 1 dog. It is concluded that some dogs fulfilling current criteria for primary polydipsia produce concentrated urine spontaneously throughout the day in a pattern similar to what has been observed in healthy pet dogs. This finding can be regarded as diagnostic and precludes the need for a water deprivation test. During water deprivation testing, all 4 dogs produced highly concentrated urine in the face of low basal plasma VP concentrations. The observed abnormal VP release in response to hypertonic stimulation may be interpreted as a primary disturbance in the regulation of VP secretion, although it might also be the result of overhydration caused by a primary abnormality in drinking behavior.  相似文献

Five cases of central diabetes insipidus (CDI) in domestic shorthair cats are described. All cats were under 3 years of age at the onset of clinical signs, and outdoor or outdoor/indoor cats, in which a prior trauma was either present or possible. The history included polydipsia and polyuria, and physical examination abnormalities included urinary bladder distention and dehydration. All cats had hyposthenuria with a urine specific gravity between 1.003 and 1.006. The diagnosis was confirmed by an observed inability to concentrate urine during a water deprivation test or compatible serum osmolality, followed by an increase in urine concentration after desmopressin administration. All cats in this report were treated successfully with oral desmopressin. The dose (25-50 microg q8-12h) and the response to therapy were variable. Oral desmopressin administration may serve as an effective alternative route for cat owners who find the conjunctival or nasal application of the solution an inconvenient mode of therapy.  相似文献

This study investigated the effects of excess cortisol on physiological mechanisms that resist dehydration in Bos indicus steers (n = 31, 2 yr of age, 193 +/- 21.47 kg mean BW) during a 90-h period. Steers were assigned randomly to one of four groups: 1) no water/no cortisol (n = 8), 2) water/no cortisol (n = 8), 3) no water/cortisol (n = 8), and 4) water/cortisol (n = 7). Animals allocated to cortisol treatment groups were given 0.1 mg x kg BW(-1) x h(-1) of hydrocortisone suspended in isotonic saline for the duration of the study. Total body water, osmolality, hematocrit, urine output, feed and water intake, and plasma concentrations of arginine vasopressin (AVP), angiotensin II (AII), electrolytes, total protein, and albumin were determined at 24-h intervals for 90 h. In the presence of excess plasma cortisol, total body water was maintained in the presence of a water deprivation insult for 90 h, whereas hydration indices, such as total plasma protein and albumin, did not change, supporting the body water data. However, plasma osmolality increased for the water-deprived groups from 24 h (P = 0.008). Hematocrit did not reflect dehydration in any group. Water deprivation induced an increase in endogenous plasma cortisol concentrations after 60 h of the study (P = 0.028). Plasma concentrations of AVP increased with water deprivation (P = 0.006). Excess cortisol decreased the plasma concentration of AVP at 72 h only (P = 0.027) and suppressed plasma concentrations of AII at 24 and 72 h (P < 0.001 and P = 0.036, respectively). Animals treated with excess cortisol maintained urinary output for 48 h before decreasing at 72 h (P = 0.057), although there was no effect on water or feed intake. Water deprivation increased plasma sodium concentrations (P < 0.05) until 72 h, whereas potassium decreased under the influence of excess plasma cortisol (P = 0.001) at 24 h. Water deprivation increased plasma chloride concentration at 72 and 90 h (P = 0.051 and P = 0.026, respectively). Plasma phosphorus decreased at 24 h (P = 0.001) and remained at lesser concentrations for the duration of the study (P = 0.05). These results highlight the complexity of endocrine interactions associated with water balance in Bos indicus steers. We accept our hypothesis that, in the presence of excess cortisol, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis is suppressed; however, homeostasis is achieved through other physiological systems.  相似文献

Summary Water balance studies were performed in 7 experimental dogs before and during a period of cortisol-induced polyuria and in one dog with spontaneous hyperadrenocorticism before and after removal of an adrenocortical carcinoma. Measurements of urine and plasma osmolality and plasma arginine vasopressin concentration were made at regular intervals during the water deprivation studies. The results indicate that cortisol does not block the release of vasopressin but interferes with its action in the kidney.  相似文献

Clinical pathologic alterations in horses during a water deprivation test   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
A 72-hour water deprivation test was performed in 12 horses to determine clinical pathologic changes. Reference values for electrolyte (X) clearance, expressed as a percentage of creatinine clearance (CLCR; %CLCRX), were also determined. A comparison was made between urine concentration measurement techniques. Results of %CLCRX determination in 12 horses before water deprivation were 0.034 +/- 0.095 %CLCRNa, 42.4 +/- 9.8 %CLCRK, 0.352 +/- 0.190 %CLCRCl, and 0.710 +/- 0.250 %CLCRP. During water deprivation, there was individual variation for electrolyte clearances, but Na excretion increased significantly (P less than 0.01) at 24 and 48 hours. After 48 hours' water deprivation, %CLCRNa decreased significantly, but was still greater than the initial clearance. Plasma protein was a better indicator of water deprivation (dehydration) in the horse than was PCV. Electrolyte concentrations in serum and urine were determined. Little significant (P less than 0.01) change in acid-base values was noticed after 72 hours' water deprivation. Urine osmolality (as determined by osmometry) was compared with sp gr (determined by refractometry) in determining urine concentration. Initially, sp gr correlated well with urine osmolality determinations, but this correlation decreased after 48 hours.  相似文献

A modified water-deprivation test was performed on 12 polyuric and 4 clinically normal dogs. Immediately after maximal urine osmolality had been achieved with water deprivation, antidiuretic hormone was injected to test further renal concentrating ability. The test provided accurate diagnosis of severe hypothalamic-neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus in 3 dogs, partial diabetes insipidus in 2 dogs, and primary (psychogenic) polydipsia in 2 dogs. Five polyuric dogs with hyperadreno corticism had a response to the modified water-deprivation test similar to that of dogs with partial diabetes indipidus.  相似文献

This study aimed to investigate and compare the antagonistic effects of atipamezole and yohimbine on medetomidine-induced diuresis in healthy dogs. Five dogs were used repeatedly in each of 8 groups. One group was not medicated. Dogs in the other groups received 20 μg/kg of medetomidine intramuscularly and, 0.5 h later, saline (as the control injection), 50, 100, or 300 μg/kg of atipamezole, or 50, 100, or 300 μg/kg of yohimbine intramuscularly. Urine and blood samples were taken 11 times over 24 h for measurement of the following: urine volume, specific gravity, and creatinine concentration; urine and plasma osmolality; urine and plasma concentrations of electrolytes and arginine vasopressin (AVP); and the plasma concentration of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). Both atipamezole and yohimbine antagonized the diuretic effect of medetomidine, inhibiting medetomidine-induced decreases in urine specific gravity, osmolality, and concentrations of creatinine, sodium, potassium, chloride, and AVP and reversing both the medetomidine-induced increase in plasma concentrations of sodium, potassium, and chloride and the medetomidine-induced decrease in the plasma AVP concentration. Atipamezole significantly stimulated ANP release. The antidiuretic action of yohimbine was more potent than that of atipamezole but was not dose-dependent, in contrast to the action of atipamezole. The effects of these drugs may not be due only to actions mediated by α2-adrenoceptors.  相似文献

Summary

Water balance studies were performed in 7 experimental dogs before and during a period of cortisol‐induced polyuria and in one dog with spontaneous hyperadrenocorticism before and after removal of an adrenocortical carcinoma. Measurements of urine and plasma osmolality and plasma arginine vasopressin concentration were made at regular intervals during the water deprivation studies. The results indicate that cortisol does not block the release of vasopressin but interferes with its action in the kidney.  相似文献

Polyuria and polydipsia (PUPD) occur frequently in dogs and may be caused by a variety of endocrine, metabolic, and renal disturbances. The studies described in this PhD Thesis, which was defended in January 2004 in Utrecht, investigated the role of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin (VP) in the pathogenesis of different forms of canine polyuria. Experiments in healthy dogs demonstrated that the ranges of urine specific gravity and urine osmolality are much larger than previously thought. A water deprivation test is not required in all polyuric dogs, because serial measurements of urine osmolality may already lead to the diagnosis of primary polydipsia, in some cases. In dogs with primary polydipsia a wide variation in VP responses to hypertonic stimulation can be found, including a hyperresponse, a hyporesponse, and a non-linear response. The significance of the VP response to hypertonic saline infusion as the 'gold standard' for a diagnosis of canine polyuria is discussed. In the dog, VP is secreted in a pulsatile fashion with a wide variation in the number of VP pulses, VP pulse duration, and VP pulse amplitude and height. The occurrence of spontaneous VP pulses may severely hamper the interpretation of the curve describing the relationship between plasma osmolality and plasma VP concentration during osmotic stimulation. A radioimmunoassay to measure the VP-dependent water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in urine was developed in dogs. In healthy dogs, urinary AQP2 excretion closely reflects changes in collecting duct exposure to VP. Measurement of urinary AQP2 excretion in polyuric dogs may be helpful to distinguish between central diabetes insipidus, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, and primary polydipsia.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of dietary salt intake on systolic blood pressure, water intake, urine output, and urine concentration in cats. Ten healthy young adult cats (mean age 2.5 years) were randomly divided into 2 groups and fed either a control diet (0.46% Na and 1.33% Cl on a dry matter [DM] basis) or a diet with a moderately increased salt content (1.02% Na and 2.02% Cl on a DM basis) for 2 weeks. After a 1-week wash-out period, each group was switched to the opposite diet for 2 weeks. During each 2-week study period, food and water intake, urine volume, urine specific gravity, and urine osmolality were measured daily. Systolic blood pressure (calculated as the mean of 5 readings measured with a Doppler flow detector) was assessed twice daily. No significant effect of diet composition was found on systolic blood pressure, and blood pressure measurements remained within reference limits throughout the study in all 10 cats. However, animals fed the higher salt diet had significantly increased water intake and urine osmolality, and significantly decreased urine specific gravity in comparison to animals fed the control diet. Examination of results of this preliminary study suggests that feeding a diet with moderately increased salt content increases water intake and causes diuresis without increasing systolic blood pressure in healthy adult young cats.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone is a rare disorder in dogs characterised by hypo-osmolality and persistent arginine vasopressin production in the absence of hypovolaemia and/or hypotension. The study describes the efficacy and safety of the nonpeptide selective arginine vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist OPC-31260 in a dog with the naturally occurring syndrome. DESIGN: The detailed case history of a dog with spontaneous syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone that received long-term therapy with oral OPC-31260 is presented. Effects of the first dose of OPC-31260 and of a dose administered after a continuous dosing period of 12 days are reported. PROCEDURE: Packed cell volume, plasma sodium, total protein, arginine vasopressin, renin activity, atrial natriuretic peptide, urine specific gravity, urine output, heart rate and body weight were monitored for 2 h before, and for 4 h after, the first dose of OPC-31260. The same parameters plus plasma osmolality and urine osmolality were monitored when an identical dose was administered after 12 days of therapy. RESULTS: Oral administration of OPC-31260 at 3 mg/kg body weight resulted in marked aquaresis with increased urine output and decline in urine specific gravity within 1 h. Corresponding increases in concentrations of plasma sodium, plasma osmolality and plasma renin activity were recorded over a 4 h period. Arginine vasopressin concentration remained inappropriately elevated throughout the study. Results were similar when the trial procedure was repeated after a stabilisation period of 12 days. Long-term therapy with OPC-31260 at a dose of 3 mg/kg body weight orally every 12 h resulted in good control of clinical signs with no deleterious effects detected during a 3-year follow-up period. Despite sustained clinical benefits observed in this case, plasma sodium did not normalise with continued administration of the drug. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of a dog with naturally occurring syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone with OPC-31260 at 3 mg/kg body weight orally every 12 h resulted in marked aquaresis and significant palliation of clinical signs with no discernible side-effects detected over a 3-year period. Thus, OPC-31260 appears to offer a feasible medical alternative to water restriction for treatment of dogs with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone. Higher doses of OPC-31260 may be required to achieve and maintain normal plasma sodium in dogs with this syndrome.  相似文献

Cisplatin (90 mg/m2) was administered in a 5-minute bolus IV infusion to dogs at 8 AM (n = 6) or 4 PM (n = 6). Blood and urine samples were collected over a 4-hour period for statistical moment pharmacokinetic analysis. Mean urinary excretion rate of total platinum was increased, whereas mean plasma residence time of ultrafilterable platinum was decreased, in the group treated at 4 PM (PM group), compared with those treated at 8 AM (AM group). Over a 2-week postinfusion-monitoring period, both groups of dogs developed decreases in creatinine clearance, urine/serum osmolality ratio (UOsm/SOsm), specific gravity, and increase in BUN, serum creatinine concentration, urine gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase/urine creatinine ratio (UGGT/UCr), fractional excretion of magnesium, and fractional excretion of phosphate. Urine specific gravity and UOsm/SOsm were significantly decreased, whereas UGGT/UCr and BUN were significantly increased in the AM group, compared with the PM group. The time of administration had a significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of cisplatin, which resulted in significant differences in cisplatin-induced renal toxicosis.  相似文献
