RENAL OSTEODYSTROPHYAccession #101444 Christina Copple, DVM Radiology Resident NCSU CVM-VTH
Dobie • Signalment: • 5 yr 8 mth MC Miniature Pinscher • Current Hx: • Weight loss over last 2 months despite normal appetite, lethargy, deviated mandible, stertorous breathing a couple of days prior to deviation of mandible, NO coughing/vomiting, occasional diarrhea, stable PU/PD, Diet – Hill’s K/D or Pedigree • Past Hx: • Acute renal failure diagnosed at 2 yrs of age (suspect nephrotoxin), Chronic renal failure since with intermittent episodes of vomiting, Previous pancreatitis and suspected hepatitis
Diagnostics • CBC:Neutrophilic leukocytosis, normocytic hypochromic non-regenerative anemia • Chemistry Panel:Azotemia, USG 1.010, hypercalcemic (total serum Ca)/phosphatemic/magnesemic/kalemic, mild hypoalbuminemia, elevated ALT/ALP • Radiographs • Abdominal Ultrasound
Abdominal Ultrasound Left Kidney Left Kidney-Cortical cyst
Abdominal Ultrasound Right Kidney
Diagnosis • Chronic Renal Failure • Suspect Renal Secondary Hyperparathyroidism • Renal Osteodystrophy
Renal Secondary Hyperparathyroidism • Mechanism is multi-factorial • Hyperphosphatemia • Low levels of Calcitriol • Elevated circulating levels of PTH!
Renal Secondary Hyperparathyroidism/Renal Osteodystrophy Osteoclasts
Relevant Research • Two recent papers in Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound 2008: could not identify the parathyroid gland in dogs without thyroid or parathyroid disease using MRI or CT. • Small parts high-resolution ultrasonography • 1991: NORMAL ULTRASONOGRAPHIC ANATOMY OF THE CANINE NECK, Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound could not identify the parathyroid glands in healthy dogs. • 1993: ULTRASONOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF THE PARATHYROID GLANDS IN HYPERCALCEMIC DOGS, Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound located hyperplastic parathyroid glands in two dogs with hypercalcemia using high-resolution ultrasound. Hypoechoic to thyroid tissue, well-marginated to poorly marginated, ~2mm in size. • 1997: HIGH-RESOLUTION PARATHYROID SONOGRAPHY, Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound did not identify parathyroid glands or lesions in 2/3 dogs that were hypercalcemic from renal insufficiency but did identify a parathyroid nodule in the remaining dog (measured 6 mm.) Parathyroid gland nodules were identified in other dogs of this study with hypercalcemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism (carcinoma/adenoma/adenomatous hyperplasia) with lesions appearing round to oval and hypoechoic to thyroid tissue. Neoplastic nodules were > 4mm and hyperplastic nodules were <4mm.
