Some biochemical and haematological aspects associated with pyometra and endometritis in female camels (Camelus dromedarius)

The study involved 67 animals suffered from endometritis, 61 animals suffered from pyometra and 28 normal fertile female dromedaries. The haematological analysis revealed that the haemoglobin (Hb) values were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in affected than normal animals. Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) did not differ significantly among dromedaries of the 3 groups. The cellular components of blood did not vary significantly. The serum analysis of albumin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), calcium, cholesterol, creatine kinase N-acetylcysteine (CK-NAC), glucose, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium and total protein showed no significant difference. Uric acid decreased significantly (P<0.05) in affected animals than control.
