The present investigation was carried out on 45 clinically healthy and 92 diseased cases of cattle and buffaloes showing signs of haema turea. Blood analysis of such cases revealed the following findings: 1-Blood creatinine and creatine remained with
in the normal values, only slight elevation was noticed in patients with kidney affec
tions 2-Moderate increase was noticed in blood urea
nitrogen to 38. 14+8.39 and 37.8+13.72 mg% in babesia infected cattle and buffaloes re spectively. The highest value of it was re corded in buffaloes with embolic nephritis
(40.3 mg%). 3-The non-protein nitrogen behaves the same
manner as the blood urea nitrogen. 4-Decreased total serum proteins in all cases with bloody urine. Most lower level (5.58 + 0.46gm%) was seen in cattle with babesiosis, and 5.30 + 1.62 gm% in buffaloes with cysti tis. 5-Total serum cholesterol was markedly eleva
ted to 302.5 and to 171.67 mg% in cattle and
buffaloes with nephritis respectively. 6-The blood parameters including haemoglobin,
packed cell volume and red cells count sho wed marked drop in all diseased cases.
7-Slight increase in the leucocytes count was
observed in some cases. 8-All animals with hypop < /strong>hosp < /strong>hateema showed
great drop in the serum inorganic phospho
ne. 9-Either the bypop < /strong>hosp < /strong>havaenic animals or the
se with renal lesions showed any detectable
change in serum sodium and chloride, 10-Decreased level of serum potassium was only
seen in few cases with bypop < /strong>hosphataemia. 11-No change was detected in serum calcium and
copper in most of the diseased cases.
