Felin İnfeksiyöz Peritonitli Kedilerde Adenozin Deaminaz ve C-Reaktif Protein Düzeylerinin Araştırılması

The aims of the present study were to evaluate T-cell-mediated immune response and acute phase response by measuring serum adenosine deaminase (ADA-1), C reactive protein (CRP) and albumin (A) levels in cats with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). In the study, 20 cats with FIP and 10 clinically healthy cats were used. In addition to that, cats with FIP were grouped as dry form (n=10) and wet form (n=10) of FIP according to clinical, radiographic and necropsy findings. In the study, serum and peritoneal effusion concentrations of ADA-1 and CRP, were determined by using cat-specific ELISA kits. Serum concentrations of total protein (TP), albumin and globulin were analysed by photometric methods. In the study, both serum and peritoneal effusion concentrations of ADA-1 (p
