The Levels of Trace Elements and Macrominerals in Calves with Sepsis

The aim of this study was to determine the levels of macrominerals and trace elements in the blood of newborn calves with sepsis. The study was carried out on a total of 30 calves, aged 2-35 days old, of which 25 with sepsis and 5 healthy. In clinical examination, prolonged capillary refill time and tachypnea were observed in calves with sepsis. The levels of Cu, K, P and S in calves with sepsis were higher compared to the control group, and the levels of Na, total and ionized Ca, Fe and Zn were also lower compared to the control group. In conclusion, in this study, significant increase in K and Cu concentrations and significant decrease in Na and Ca concentrations were found in calves with sepsis. According to the results, K, Cu, Na and Ca may have important roles in the pathophysiology of sepsis.

Sepsisli Buzağılarda İz Elementler ve Makrominerallerin Seviyeleri

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sepsisli yenidoğan buzağılarda makromineraller ve iz elementlerin seviyelerini belirlemektir. Çalışma, 2-35 günlük, 25’i sepsisli ve 5’i sağlıklı olan toplam 30 buzağı üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Klinik muayenede sepsisli buzağılarda kapiller geri dolum süresinde uzama ve takipne gözlendi. Kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında sepsisli buzağıların Cu, K, P ve S düzeyleri yüksek, Na, total ve iyonize Ca, Fe ve Zn düzeyleri düşüktü. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışmada sepsisli buzağılarda K ve Cu konsantrasyonlarında önemli artış, Na ve Ca konsantrasyonlarında ise anlamlı azalma olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda K, Cu, Na ve Ca’un sepsisin patofizyolojisinde önemli bir rolü olabileceği değerlendirildi.
