[Biochemical changes in the blood serum of calves with secondary immune blood transfusion shock]

Investigated were 10 clinically normal calves with which transfusion was carried out of incompatible isogenic blood at the rate of 2-4 cm3/kg body weight against which they had immune isoerythroantibodies. It was established that SGOT and SGPT rose, and this was associated with the erythrocyte hemolysis, drop of Ca, P, K, and Na and total protein to the detriment of albumins. During all periods following the transfusion there was hypoalbuminemia with compensatory hyperglobulinemia and increase in the alfa 1, alfa 2, beta 1 and gamma-globulin subfractions. The beta 3 globulins were lacking at the 4th hour and on the 4th day following the blood transfusion.
