Increased incidence of urinary tract infection due to decreased urea production and increased ammonia excretion (which may also cause the development of urinary calculi). Polyuria and polydipsia (PUPD) may also be evident. Gastrointestinal signs, including vomiting. Hypersalivation, particularly in cats (Figure2).
Scanning the Smear. The first step in the evaluation of a blood smear is to scan the slide using a 10x or 20x objective. With regard to the red blood cells, we should observe red cell density and presence of rouleaux or agglutination.
Clinical signs, blood tests, urinalysis, and imaging tests (e.g., radiographs, ultrasound images, portograms [an image of the blood vessels to the liver], or nuclear scintigraphy [a nuclear scan that measures blood flow]) can be used for diagnosis.
1 lut 2024 · Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a malabsorptive syndrome caused by insufficient secretion of digestive enzymes from pancreatic acini. The most common causes of EPI in dogs and cats are pancreatic acinar atrophy and chronic pancreatitis.

IMPA is characterised by synovitis of two or more joints, which is responsive to immunosuppressive therapy.1 It is often associated with systemic signs of illness such as pyrexia, lethargy and hyporexia.2,3 Most affected dogs are between ...
Most dogs (4/5) in the cPLI <400 μg/L group had a history of suspected pancreatitis (ie, suspect acute on chronic disease). cPLI and MCAI rapidly decreased in dogs with a baseline cPLI ≥400 μg/L, whereas sonographic evidence of pancreatitis persisted for a longer time period.
Clinical signs of Cushing disease, such as polyuria/polydipsia, are similar in cats and dogs, except that cats are more likely to have polyuria/polydipsia resulting from concurrent diabetes mellitus rather than from ADH receptor antagonism and skin fragility.
