This clinical report describes a case of renal failure in a Holstein calf. It is suggested that the renal failure was hemodynamically-mediated. The combination of a chronic enteritis and failure to ingest adequate fluids produced the hyponatremia, hypochloremia, and metabolic acidosis. The elevated BUN, creatinine, FENa, and isosthenuria confirmed the diagnosis of renal failure. Continued testing of the heifer demonstrated persistence of the renal failure even though the heifer appeared normal on clinical examination. Monitoring the growth rate of the heifer calf demonstrated a severe reduction when compared to age-matched herdmates.
本临床报告描述了一例荷斯坦犊牛肾衰竭病例。据推测，该肾衰竭是由血流动力学介导的。慢性肠炎与摄入足够液体不足相结合，导致了低钠血症、低氯血症和代谢性酸中毒。血尿素氮、肌酐、滤过钠排泄分数升高及等渗尿证实了肾衰竭的诊断。对这头小母牛持续检测表明，尽管其在临床检查中看似正常，但肾衰竭仍持续存在。监测这头小母牛犊的生长速度发现，与同龄的牛群同伴相比，其生长速度大幅下降。
