Oxígeno ozonoterapia en azotemia renal canina


Abstract:

The following research was conducted in the canton Guayaquil, Guayas’s province, Urdaneta’s parish. The canine patients studied reported regularly to Las Lomas Veterinary Clinic for two years, starting in 2011. The clinic was complete with all necessary medical equipment, including a medical ozone producer machine. The established general objective was: To show to the medical veterinary community a complementary method to treating renal azotemia with ozone therapy. The established specific objective was: To determinate if ozone therapy is effective in controlling canine renal azotemia. A total of 100 dogs were treated, of which 54 were males and 46 were females. Breed of dog was not considered as a factor. The age of the dogs assessed was 4 years or greater. Of the participants, 12% showed creatinine values with in the normal ranges, while 88% showed altered or abnormal values. These values suggested that 88% of the canine sample patients had acquired renal azotemia. All 100 participants received intravenous and intrarectal ozone therapy three times a week for three months with a gas dose of 20 ml intravenous concentration of 0.75µgr O3/ml and 60 ml intrarectal. After the ozone application for three months resulted indicated a reduction in the abnormal creatinine level from 88% to 58%, a 30% additional increase to normal valued creatinine participants. Combined with the original 12% of normal valued canines, the total number of healthy participants became 42% after the three months of treatment further suggesting the treatment resulted in positive effectiveness for the control of the renal azotemia. In a test to determine urea level, participant’s results showed that 9% exhibited normal levels of urea while 91% exhibited altered levels. In comparison to the results for the creatinine levels, the urea testing is more sensitive. Therefore, it is believed that the urea levels are a sensitive indicator for renal azotemia and can also be used as a test to indicate additional factor(s), such as a diet high in protein. With the ozone therapy, the 91% patients with altered urea values, had a 70% return to normal urea levels following the 3 months of treatment. In relation to the creatinine values, both male and female showed equal rates of decrease in abnormal levels. Although in Figure 7 it looks as though the males had a major percentage of altered values than the females, the ozone treatment caused proportionally decreased rates of abnormal levels. Overall, these findings indicate that there are better probabilities to improve the quality of the canine patients inflicted with renal azotemia using ozone therapy.
