Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living donor...

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Summary

Bilateral ureteric rupture in dogs, often caused by trauma, can lead to uroabdomen. Surgical intervention, like ureteroneocystostomy, offers a positive prognosis for recovery in canine patients.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Surgery
Canine Urology
Trauma Medicine

Background:

Road traffic accidents are a common cause of severe internal injuries in dogs.
Uroabdomen, characterized by urine accumulation in the abdominal cavity, is a critical condition often resulting from ureteric trauma.
Azotemia indicates impaired kidney function, frequently associated with uroabdomen.

Observation:

Two dogs presented with depression and abdominal distension post-road traffic accidents.
Both dogs exhibited azotemia and abdominal fluid analysis confirmed uroabdomen.
Case 1 involved proximal bilateral ureteric rupture, leading to euthanasia.
Case 2 presented with distal bilateral ureteric rupture.

Findings:

Surgical repair via ureteroneocystostomy with contralateral ureteronephrectomy was successful in one case.
The dog that underwent ureteroneocystostomy remained clinically normal 16 months post-surgery.
Proximal ureteric rupture proved non-survivable in the reported cases.

Implications:

This report highlights the potential for successful surgical management of distal bilateral ureteric rupture in dogs.
Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for improving outcomes in canine uroabdomen cases.
Ureteroneocystostomy represents a viable surgical option for treating specific types of ureteric trauma in dogs.
