Abstract

Doppler
ultrasonography is one of the tools that started to use recently in human and
veterinary medicine for this purpose. Currently, there are many studies to
investigate methods of earlier diagnosis of prognosis of renal and hepatic
diseases. However there is stil no consensus among researchers about the normal
values. To our knowledge no systematical research exits revealing the normal
values of Kangal breed dogs. Our purpose in this research is to determine the
normal renal and hepatic doppler values of Kangal breed. For this purpose, 30
Turkish Kangal dogs and 20 healty dogs from several breeds were included to the
study. The mean value of renal resistive index (RI) and pulsative index (PI)
were 0,65±0,04 and 1.13±0,05 for Turkish Kangal dogs; 0,64±0,08 and 1.12±0,05
for different breed dogs. For the hepatic RI and PI values 0,65±0,04 and, 1.16±0,03
for Turkish Kangal dogs; 0.63±0,04 and 1.15±0.04 for different breed dogs
respectively.  The hepatic  and renal PI and RI values of Kangal dogs
were found to be compatible with other breeds.

Abstract

Doppler
ultrasonografi son zamanlarda insan hekimliği ve veteriner hekimlikte bu amaçla
kullanılmaya başlanan araçlardan biridir. Halen, böbrek ve karaciğer hastalıklarının
prognozunun erken teşhisi yöntemlerini araştıran birçok çalışma vardır. Ancak,
araştırmacılar arasında normal değerler hakkında hala bir fikir birliği yoktur.
Bildiğimiz kadarıyla Kangal cinsi köpeklerin normal değerlerini ortaya koyan
hiçbir sistematik araştırma yapılmamıştır. Bu araştırmadaki amacımız Kangal
ırkının normal böbrek ve karaciğer doppler değerlerini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla
30 Türk Kangal köpeği ve çeşitli ırklardan 20 sağlıklı köpek çalışmaya dahil
edildi. Türk Kangal köpekleri için renal RI (rezistif indeks) ve PI (pulzatif
indeks) ortalama değeri 0,65 ± 0,04 ve 1,13 ± 0,05; farklı cins köpekler için
ise 0,64 ± 0,08 ve 1,12 ± 0,05 olarak belirlendi. Karaciğer için  RI ve PI değerleri Türk kangal köpeklerinde
0,65±0,04 ve 1.16±0,03 olarak belirlenirken diğer köpeklerde ; 0.63±0,04 ve
1.15±0.04 olarak saptandı. Kangal köpeklerinin hepatik ve renal PI ve RI
değerleri diğer ırklarla uyumlu bulundu.
