Description
The haemodynamics of the canine left renal artery (LRA) and interlobar artery (ILA) were evaluated in eleven fasted, healthy, conscious beagles with severe acute (haematocrit [Hct] 16%), moderate chronic (Hct 26%) and mild chronic (Hct 34%) normovolaemic anaemia using Doppler ultrasound. Heart rate, peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), time-averaged mean velocity (TAVmean), pulsatility index (PI) and resistive index (RI) were recorded. Doppler values in the dogs following the induction of anaemia states were compared with corresponding values in the same dogs prior to the induction of anaemia. Left renal artery mean PSV, mean PI and mean RI were significantly higher and the mean EDV was significantly lower in severe acute anaemia. No significant change was seen in mean values of the same parameters in moderate or mild chronic anaemia. There was no significant change in TAVmean of the LRA or mean PI and mean RI of the ILA in any grade of anaemia. Acute, severe normovolaemic anaemia significantly altered LRA Doppler parameters in resting dogs without influencing those of the ILA. Moderate or mild chronic anaemia had no effect on any renal Doppler parameter. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
