The aim of learning is not knowledge but action. Wish I’d said that…….. Jill McClure, DVM, MSDiplomate, ACVIM, ABVP
Educational Objectives • to recognize clinical problems which may suggest renal disease • to recite a list of differentials (rule-outs) for selected clinical problems • to recite a diagnostic and/or treatment plan for selected specific disease of the urinary system
Educational Objectives • to identify problems from a history and set of clinical and/or laboratory data • to interpret clinical and laboratory data by following an algorithm in order to arrive at a presumptive diagnosis
Problem-oriented approach • Recognize a problem • Know what tests to request • Know how to interpret he results • Know how to manage the diagnosis
oliguria/anuria polyuria: polydipsia dysuria abnormal urine edema chronic weight loss diarrhea colic metabolic lameness What is the problem?????
Oliguria/Anuriadecreased / no urine output • Normal urine output = 1-2 ml/kg/hr • ~ 15 l /1000 horse/day • affected by environment, water intake, diet
Decreased urine output • Failure to form (renal failure) • Failure to pass(obstruction or diversion)
What is a minimum data base? • pieces of information to collect BEFORE starting to think • problem-specific
History previous disease drugs therapy toxins feed Physical exam document problem urethral patency injury preventing posturing hydration status rectal exam Minimum data base for oliguria/anuria
Lower tract patent suspect ARF CBC BUN, Cr Electrolytes Minerals Albumin, protein UA FE Minimum data base for oliguria/anuria
Patent lower tract renal biopsy toxin analysis cantharadin heavy metals Expanded Data Base for oliguria/anuria
What is an algorithm? • logical pathway used to interpret findings in order to arrive at a diagnosis • a road map for diagnosis
Toxic antibiotics aminoglycosides drugs NSAIDS bugs cantharadin pigments myoglobin Vascular hypovolemia Toxic heavy metals Rule-outs for oliguria/anuria with patent lower tract
