Complexo Colangite Felino

Authors: Esteves, Catarina Susana Almeida de Oliveira;

Complexo Colangite Felino

Abstract

O complexo colangite é uma doença hepática comum em felinos, representando a segunda maior causa de doença hepática nos mesmos. Caracteriza-se por uma inflamação do tracto biliar que, em alguns gatos, pode também estender-se ao parênquima hepático envolvente. Esta doença é subdividida em três formas: colangite neutrofílica; colangite linfocítica; e colangite crónica associada a tremátodes hepáticos. A doença inflamatória hepática pode ocorrer concomitantemente à inflamação intestinal e à pancreatite, podendo esta situação estar relacionada com particularidades anatómicas da espécie felina. Pode ser feito um diagnóstico presuntivo com base nos sinais clínicos, perfil hematológico, bioquímico, análise de urina e imagiologia. No entanto, apenas a biopsia hepática permite um diagnóstico definitivo de colangite. O tratamento tem diferenças para cada forma da doença e, o prognóstico depende muito, do tratamento instituído e da resposta ao mesmo. Ao longo do estágio curricular realizado no Hospital Veterinário Montenegro, foram observados vários tipos de patologias hepáticas nos felinos, sendo o complexo colangite felino a mais frequente. Durante este período foram acompanhados 5 casos clínicos de colangite felina, dos quais apenas dois são apresentados neste trabalho, tendo sido analisados em termos de diagnóstico, tratamento e acompanhamento.

Cholangitis complex is an hepatic disease that has been regarded as common in felines and represents the second major cause of hepatic illness. It’s characterized by a biliary tract inflammation that in some cases can also be extended to the hepatic surrounding parenchyma. It is subdivided in three forms which include: neutrophilic cholangitis; lymphocytic cholangitis; and chronic cholangitis due to liver flukes. The inflammatory hepatic disease may occur concomitantly with intestinal inflammation and pancreatitis. This situation can be related with anatomic particularities of felines. It can be made a presumptive diagnostic over the clinical signs, haematological and biochemical profiles, urinalysis and imagiology, but only the hepatic biopsy may hold a final diagnostic of cholangitis. For each form of the disease there are variations in the treatment applied, and the prognosis depends on the treatment used and the response to it. During the internship performed at the Hospital Veterinário Montenegro, many types of hepatic diseases were observed. The second most frequent was feline cholangitis complex. Along the internship, there were five clinical cases of feline cholangitis, and two of those will be analyzed on this paperwork, in terms of diagnosis, treatment and monitoring, in order to understand and interpret each one of them.
