Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Equine Health
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Laminitis is a significant equine health concern.
  • Systemic involvement in laminitis is complex and multifactorial.
  • Understanding these systems is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the clinical pathology of laminitis.
  • To detail the involvement of cardiovascular, renal, endocrine, and immunologic systems.
  • To discuss nutritional and metabolic alterations in chronically affected horses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of available data on systemic involvement.
  • Analysis of data concerning disease phase and severity.
  • Discussion of origins and clinical implications of systemic findings.

Main Results:

  • Laminitis involves significant cardiovascular, renal, endocrine, and immunologic system alterations.
  • These systemic changes vary with disease phase and severity.
  • Chronic laminitis is associated with distinct nutritional and metabolic disturbances.

Conclusions:

  • Systemic pathology is integral to understanding laminitis.
  • Clinical implications of these findings aid in diagnosis and treatment.
  • Further research into systemic interactions can improve equine welfare.
