Resumo
A anemia é a alteração hematológica mais frequente em gatos. Apesar dos gatos
tolerarem esta condição a sua repercussão clínica é variável, estando relacionada com as
diversas etiologias. Alguns gatos com anemia crónica apesar de apresentarem valores de
hematócrito extremamente baixos não exibem sintomatologia clínica.
O presente estudo teve como objectivos caracterizar as anemias, mais concretamente
quais as características individuais mais frequentes, qual o tipo de anemia mais frequente,
quais as principais etiologias, quais os exames laboratoriais de diagnóstico solicitados na
prática clínica e rever a abordagem diagnóstica adequada à anemia.
O estudo compreendeu uma análise retrospetiva de uma amostra de setenta gatos,
recolhida em dois hospitais veterinários em que o factor de inclusão era presença de anemia.
Verificou-se que na maioria da amostra os gatos eram do género feminino,
domésticos de pelo curto, seniores e com condição corporal ideal. As anemias mais frequentes
eram moderadas ou ligeiras, normocíticas normocrómicas não regenerativas e a principal
causa de anemia em gatos estava associada à presença de doenças crónicas, mais
especificamente com doença renal crónica. A análises requisitadas para proceder à
caracterização da anemia, incluem o hemograma, painel geral de bioquímicas, esfregaços
sanguíneos índice de produção de reticulócitos e punções medulares.
Anemia is the most frequent hematologic disorder in cats. Although cats tolerate this condition well, its clinical impact is variable, being related with the various etiologies. Some cats with chronic anemia despite presenting extremely low hematocrit values did not exhibit clinical symptomatology. The present study had as objective to characterize the anemias, more specifically what are the individual characteristics more frequent, which is the most common type of anemia, what are the main etiologies, which laboratory exams of diagnosis request in clinical practice and review the appropriate diagnostic approach to anemia. The study comprises a retrospective analysis of a sample of seventy cats, collected in two veterinarian hospitals in which the inclusion factor was the presence of anemia. It was found that in the majority of the samples cats were of feminine gender, domestic cats with short fur, seniors and with ideal body condition. The most frequent anemia were moderate or slight, and normochromic normocytic non regenerative, and the primary cause of anemia in cats was associated with the presence of chronic diseases, more specifically with chronic renal disease. Analyzes requested for the characterization of anemia, include the hemogram, general panel of biochemical, blood smears, reticulocyte production index and spinal punctures.
