A Prospective Study

SummaryA few investigations in the 1960’s were performed to document the effect of exogenous oestrogens on development of hip dysplasia. These projects concluded that oestrogen administration caused a significant increase in hip dysplasia. Additionally, the Orthopaedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) has recommended that bitches should not have hip evaluation for certification during oestrus, due to the possibility of increased coxofemoral joint laxity. The purpose of this project was to determine if physiological fluctuations of oestrogen and progesterone throughout the oestrus cycle significantly affected coxofemoral joint laxity. Nine bitches were evaluated through a single oestrus cycle. Although significant fluctuations of oestrogen and progesterone occurred throughout the phases of the oestrus cycle, neither statistically nor clinically significant changes in coxofemoral joint laxity were documented.A prospective study documented the effect of fluctuations of hormone levels throughout the oestrus cycle on coxofemoral joint laxity in nine dogs. Although oestrogen and progesterone levels changed significantly throughout the oestrus cycle, neither statistically nor clinically significant changes in hip laxity were observed.

Solute Clearance

Failure to achieve target values for both urea (Kt/V) and creatinine clearance has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. The conventional continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis regimen, which uses four 2-L exchanges per day, has resulted in up to 40% of such patients failing to achieve proposed targets for weekly Kt/V of 1.7 and weekly creatinine clearance (WCC) of 50 L. In a prospective study, the impact of increasing prescribed volumes by 0.5 L per exchange was evaluated on attaining urea and creatinine clearance targets over a 1-yr period. At 1 yr, 17 patients remaining on the increased dialysis prescription were compared with 18 patients remaining on an unchanged regimen. The mean increase in daily prescribed volume was 1.5 L (22%). This resulted in a significant increase in both peritoneal dialysis Kt/V (1.59 to 1.78 L = 12%) and peritoneal dialysis WCC (45.8 to 50.1 L = 10%) by 1 yr. Because of loss of renal function, there was no significant increase in total clearance at 1 yr, but this loss of renal clearance was offset by the gain in peritoneal clearance. Residual renal function fell at a similar rate in both the increased dialysis and control groups. In the latter, although peritoneal clearance remained stable over the 1-yr period, loss of renal function resulted in reductions in both total Kt/V and WCC. In conclusion, exchange volume can be increased to compensate for loss of renal function over a 1-yr period. Progressive loss of renal clearance resulted in only a modest gain in total solute clearance. It was the larger patients who tolerated the increase in exchange volumes. However, such patients (by virtue of their size) tended not to achieve target values for solute clearance, and the modest gain in peritoneal clearance was insufficient to increase the number of patients in this group achieving such targets for dialysis adequacy.
