Metabolic syndrome in a canine patient: A case report

This study describes the clinical case of a 6-year-old intact female Beagle presented to a veterinary clinic with polyphagia and abdominal distension. The body condition score (BCS) was subjectively assessed using a 1–9 scale, yielding a score of 8/9. The mean arterial pressure was 130 mmHg (referen...

Dog Hyperglycemia Hyperlipemia Perro Hiperglucemia Hiperlipemia This study describes the clinical case of a 6-year-old intact female Beagle presented to a veterinary clinic with polyphagia and abdominal distension. The body condition score (BCS) was subjectively assessed using a 1–9 scale, yielding a score of 8/9. The mean arterial pressure was 130 mmHg (reference range: 80–120 mmHg Blood tests revealed elevated levels of total cholesterol (202 mg dL-1), triglycerides (516 mg dL-1), low-density lipoprotein (LDL = 150 mg dL-1), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP = 1447 IU L-1), along with a decreased level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL = 30 mg/dL). The calculated HOMA-IR index was 2.84, indicating insulin resistance. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed findings consistent with hepatic lipidosis and polycystic ovary syndrome. Based on the clinical and laboratory findings, a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was established. As metabolic syndrome remains an area of ongoing research in veterinary medicine, this case report aims to contribute to a better understanding and enhanced management of this condition in canine patients. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo describir el caso clínico de un canino Beagle, hembra entera de 6 años, la cual fue atendida en consulta por un cuadro de polifagia y aumento del diámetro abdominal. Se determinó de manera subjetiva el índice de condición corporal (BCS), utilizando como guía la escala de puntuación del 1 - 9, estableciendo un valor de 7/9. La presión arterial media fue de 130 mmHg (normal 80 a 120 mmHg). En la evaluación sanguínea se observaron aumentos de colesterol total (202 mg dl-1), triglicéridos (516 mg dl-1), lipoproteínas de baja densidad (LDL = 150 mg dl-1), fosfatasa alcalina (FAL = 1.447 UI L-1) y disminución de las lipoproteínas de alta densidad (HDL = 30 mg dl-1). Además, se obtuvo un valor del índice HOMA-IR de 2,84, indicando resistencia a la insulina. La ecografía abdominal reveló imágenes sugerentes de infiltración grasa difusa en el hígado y poliquistosis ovárica. En base al examen y parámetros de laboratorio se llegó al diagnóstico de síndrome metabólico. El SM es una patología que todavía se encuentra en investigación, con este reporte se pretende abrir un espacio para llevar a cabo futuros estudios y mejorar así el abordaje de estos pacientes.
