Critical illness challenges many endocrine homeostatic systems to overcome diseases, stress, and hostile conditions that threaten survival. Coordinated and consecutive responses by the autonomic nervous system, endocrine metabolic adaptations to mobilize and conserve energy and electrolytes, cardiovascular adjustments to maintain organ perfusion, and immunomodulation to overcome infections and inflammation are required. Because most admissions to equine intensive care units are related to horses with gastrointestinal disease and septic foals, most endocrine information during critical disease are generated from these populations. This article presents an overview on endocrine responses to critical illness in horses and foals and also some comparative information.
危重病对许多内分泌稳态系统构成挑战，以战胜威胁生命的疾病、应激和恶劣状况。自主神经系统需要做出协调且连续的反应，内分泌代谢进行适应性变化以调动和保存能量及电解质，心血管系统做出调整以维持器官灌注，免疫系统进行调节以战胜感染和炎症。由于大多数进入马重症监护病房的病例都与患有胃肠道疾病的马匹和败血症幼驹有关，因此危重病期间的大多数内分泌信息都来自这些群体。本文概述了马和幼驹对危重病的内分泌反应，并提供了一些比较信息。
