Objectives:
The objective of this study was to
assess the renal function in animals with renal failure after peritoneal dialysis.
Materials
and Methods: Animals with kidney failure
presented to veterinary teaching hospital at Ankara University consisted of 4
dogs and one cat. Animals with kidney failure were treated with peritoneal
dialysis application.
Results:
Concentration of serum urea in all
patients significantly decreased after the second attempt of peritoneal
dialysis but, not serum creatinine. When peritoneal dialysis procedures (4 to
10 times) completed, the concentrations of serum urea and creatinine were
significantly decreased in all animals. Complications identified during PD were
peritonitis, hypoalbuminemia, hypokalemia, dialysate retention or leakage from
the catheter site, edema and pleural effusion/chylothorax.
Discussion:
In the present study, it was
concluded that peritoneal dialysis procedure was a life-saving, easily
applicable, and cost effective clinical procedure for companion animals with
renal failure.
