Diagnosis and Pathophysiology: Left midshaft femur- multiple complete fractures with fragmentation. Right tibia and fibula- complete fracture with fragmentation. All fractures are unstable. This dog is hyperglycemic due to a stress response which caused endogenous corticosteroid release and also due to the exogenous corticosteriods that were administered the day of initial examination. He has a hyponatremic dehydration, which resulted in the hyperproteinemia and hyperglobulinemia. This dehydration is probably caused by the loss of blood (anemia), which causes an equivalent loss of water and sodium. However, when the patient drinks or receives fluids he will restore the water volume without restoring the sodium volume in the blood. In this case the patient received Lactated Ringers Solution and is most likely drinking at the same time, therefore diluting out the sodium in the blood. Hypochloridemia generally follows hyponatremia unless the patient is vomiting, which is not stated in the history. The slight aciduria could have several causes; could be due to the hyponatremia dehydration, a diet rich in protein, which causes sulfur containing amino acids in the diet causing an aciduria, or administration of Lactated Ringers Solution. The dehydration and anemia caused hepatocellular hypoxia which led to hepatocellular damage and leakage of the alanine aminotransferasemia Secondary cause could be blunt trauma to the liver, leading to hepatocellular swelling and leakage. Increased alkaline phosphatase activity could be induced by blunt trauma to the liver which caused a decrease in functional hepatic mass due to hepatocellular swelling and subsequent necrosis. This is supported by the slight bilirubinuria (which typically follows cholestasis) and urobilinogen. Cortocosteriods have also been shown to cause alkaline phosphatase induction in canines. The stress of the accident and endogenous corticosteroid release as well as exogenous corticosteriod administration, may have caused this hyperphosphatasemia in the patient. Finally, osteoclast and osteoblast activity (due to the fracture) could have caused an increase in alkaline phosphatase levels. The trace hematuria is probabaly a result of the initial blunt trauma of the accident.
