Abstract
Renal failure is one of the most common diseases in small animal practice and is usually difficult to treat. The aim of this study is to offer veterinarians informations of how to diagnose, treat, and evaluate the prognosis of a renal failure patient in it’s first attending. Four hundred and thirty-nine dogs and 113 cats were collected from hospitalized renal failure cases in NTUVH between October 2001 and October 2004. The majority of sex in this study was male and age over 7 years old was the dominant group. The most common breed of dogs and cats in this study were mixed breed. Gastrointestinal symptoms were the most common clinical signs, especially anorexia and vomiting. According to the result of logistic regression analysis, the responses to treatments were significantly influenced by the patient’s age, occurrence of neurological signs or cardiovascular and respiratory signs, diagnosis result, concentration of serum blood urea nitrogen when first attending in canine population. While in feline group, the responses to treatments were significantly influenced by occurrence of neurological signs, diagnosis result and values of packed cell volume. There were no significant disparities between short-term prognosis and sex, other clinical signs, serum creatinine concentration or other diseases followed with the renal failure.
