Alterações anatomopatológicas renais em cães e gatos

Abstract

This dissertation consists of a study of anatomopathological renal lesions in dogs and cats diagnosed by SOVET-UFPEL from January 2015 to July 2019. The results are presented in two scientific articles. In the first study, a histopathological study of renal lesions in dogs diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma was carried out and the alterations found were related to the characteristics of the patients in terms of sex, race and age. In this work it was found that the main alteration was glomerulonephritis in adult male dogs. The second article aimed to establish correlations between blood and urinary biochemical parameters and anatomopathological examinations of kidneys from 15 dogs parasitized by Diocthopyme renale in the region of Pelotas-RS. In this article, a relationship was found between proteinuria and chronic kidney damage caused by the parasite. The results presented in the two articles show the importance of early diagnosis of renal alterations for the institution of adequate treatment and for better prognosis.
