Biochemical and ultrasonographic evaluation of exertional rhabdomyolysis and myositis in draft horses

摘要: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biochemical alterations in horses with exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER) and those myositis characterize progressive changes both diseases by using ultrasonography (US). For reason, 40 various symptoms musculoskeletal disorders were studied. Based on competent case history, clinical symptoms, combination clinicopathological findings as well ultrasonographic alterations, investigated allocated into two main groups: ER-group (n = 7) group (n = 33). Blood samples drawn from all for laboratory assessment. obtained revealed that mild severe forms ER had a statistically significant (P < 0.05) high serum enzymatic activity creatine phosphokinase (CPK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), low values calcium compared control group. Horses also demonstrated value blood urea nitrogen, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, chloride sodium other groups. Ultrasonically, it appeared have hypoechoic loss muscle texture, while mildly affected cases showed small cavities replacing muscles. Small separating fibers observed myositis, but fibrinous hyperechoic dots prevailed cases. From results obtained, can be concluded sole use US diagnosis not really conclusive, analyses, examination findings, could facilitate early studied diseases.
