Abstract:
The comparative evaluation was carried out to study the alterations in biochemical profile in ascitic dogs (N=30) in four phases. Phase-1 i.e., pre-treatment phase (0^th day of diagnosis) and post/during treatment phases of ascites i.e., phase-2 (3^rd day of treatment), phase-3 (7^th day of treatment) and phase-4 (14^th day of treatment) were included in our study, respectively. Biochemical profile Serum Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Direct bilirubin, creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentration showed a highly significant (P<0.01) increase while a highly significant (P<0.01) decrease in serum glucose, cholesterol and albumin was observed in pre-treatment phase of ascites (phase-1). Whereas Total protein and globulin concentration showed a non-significant (P>0.05) alteration during pre-treatment and treatment /post-treatment phases of ascites in our study.
