effect of some hepatic disorders and bronchopneumonia on liver and renal function tests in camels

ABSTRACT

One hundred camels of both sexes were investigated clinically at the slaughter house of Owsim. Ten camels were emaciated and showed dullness accompanied with liver changes on post-mortum examination. This group suffering from hepatic disorders showed insignificant increase in total leucocytic count and eosinophilia. However, their sera showed insignificant increase in total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], urea and creatinine levels while insignificant decrease in glucose, total cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase [AP] and chloride levels [these parameters refered to liver and renal function testes]. Another ten camels showed nasal discharge, cough and respiratory distress. This group suffering from bronchopneumonia showed rather changes in blood picture and biochemical constituents of their sera
