Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciência Animal) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2015.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/5714Acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from toxic or ischemic insults and usually affect the tubular portion of the nephron, the use of potentially nephrotoxic drugs such as gentamycin one of the main causes. Early detection allows the AKI appropriate intervention may prevent or mitigate damage to the tubular cell and the development of acute renal failure (ARF). Diagnosis requires a combination of techniques, and be effective employment ultrasonography associated with laboratory tests. Ultrasound allows assessment of morphology and renal echogenicity by taking on bi-dimensional mode (B-mode) and renal hemodynamics through the assessment with pulsed Doppler with resistivity and pulsatility indices calculation. In this study, AKI was induced in six dogs with 30mg/kg of gentamicin once a day, for 10 days, in order to confirm the importance of B-mode and pulsed Doppler ultrasound for the diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis determination. Dogs were followed for 45 days by clinical examination, urinalysis, serum urea and creatinine, urinary GGT dosing and ultrasound. Six healthy dogs were used as control group and followed the same moments. The results of this study demonstrated that ultrasound is earlier than changes in laboratory diagnosis of ARI, and is useful for monitoring and prognosis determination, since the ultrasound aspect returned to normal in most dogs after recovery and dogs with ARF had higher values of the volume, of the Doppler indices and the degree of echogenicity.application/pdfAcesso AbertoLesão renal agudaEcogenicidadeEcografiaIndice de pulsabilidadeIndice de resistividadeAcute renal lesionEchogenicityEchographyPulsatility indexResistivity indexPATOLOGIA ANIMAL::PATOLOGIA CLINICA ANIMALDissertação
