Study Notes
Diabetes Mellitus
- Lesions: Diffuse tan coloring of the liver, enlarged liver, fat overtaken tubules, fat accumulation in cells
- Clinical signs: Glucosuria (glucose in urine), bilirubinuria (bilirubin in urine), hypoalbuminemia (low albumin), bilirubinemia (high bilirubin), ascites (fluid accumulation in abdomen)
- Pathogenesis/causes: Glucose toxicity (prolonged high blood sugar), downregulation of glucose transporters on beta cells, impaired insulin secretion, lipotoxicity (high serum fatty acids suppressing insulin secretion), glycogen accumulation, cell dearth
- Diagnosis: Blood tests (urine and/or blood), fructosamine test
Feline Infectious Peritonitis
- Lesions: Atrophy of kidney, tan cortex with multifocal raised lesions, lesions around blood vessels in kidney, dark orange thick exudate, multifocal hard nodules, inflamed capsule of liver, multifocal fibrinous peritonitis, hepatomegaly, round firm foci on the serosal surface of organs, plaques located on apex of heart, fibrin inflamed capsule of liver, vasculitis, necrosis, macrophages
- Clinical signs: Ataxia (loss of bodily control), nystagmus (involuntary eye movements), seizures, incoordination, intention tremors, hyperesthesia (increased sensitivity), behavior changes, cranial nerve deficits, head tilt
- Pathogenesis/causes: Mutated form of feline enteric coronavirus (FCoV), effusive (wet) or non-effusive (dry) form, high protein exudate or modified transudate, granulomatous inflammation, type 3 hypersensitivity reaction with vasculitis.
- Diagnosis: Histopathology (if pathognomonic lesions), detection of intracellular FCoV antigen (immunofluorescence or immunohistochemistry), RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction).
