AB  - Homocysteine (Hcy) was investigated as the biomarker of cardiac, renal, and gastrointestinal disorders
in dogs. Data about low Hcy concentrations in the systemic inflammatory response syndrome raised a hypothesis that
Hcy in dogs could be a negative acute-phase reactant. This survey compared Hcy concentrations, serum amyloid A
(SAA), and the routine laboratory parameters between healthy (HD, N=6) and dogs with inflammation of different
extent: mild (dirofilariosis (DIR), N=31), moderate (babesiosis (BAB), N=12), and severe (pyometra (PYO), N=8).
The BAB and PYO groups had lower Hcy er than HD. Also, the levels in the PYO group were below those in the
DIRO group. SAA had the inverse pattern. Across the groups, Hcy and SAA levels correlated negatively (ρ = -0.502,
P<0.001). Hcy and SAA correlated with the erythrocyte count, hematocrit, hemoglobin and mean cellular hemoglobin
concentrations, and neutrophil count, with correlations being positive for Hcy and negative for SAA. Among all dogs,
hemoglobin was the only independent predictor of Hcy concentration. Hcy levels in canine infections, decreased as
acute-phase reaction (APR) intensified. Also, they were related with the hematology changes accompanying the APR.
Further studies will establish the clinical potential of these alterations.

AB  - Background: Lower homocysteine (Hcy) concentraon was noced in dogs with
systemic inflammatory response syndrome of various aeology, in comparison with
healthy dogs. Objecve. The study had two objecves: to compare Hcy
concentraons in serum between dogs naturally infected with Babesia canis and
healthy dogs; to assess the relaonship between Hcy concentraon and the results
of the roune laboratory tests. Materials and methods. The study enrolled twelve
dogs infected with B. canis (BAB) and six healthy dogs (HD). The commercial
immunoassay, spectrophotometry, and haematology kits were used. Stascal
analyses included the Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's rank correlaon
analysis. Results: BAB had lower concentraons of Hcy than HD (p=0.045). When
analysing the results from all studied dogs together, Hcy had a posive correlaon
with erythrocyte count (r=0.771; p=0.001), haemoglobin concentraon (r=0.696;
p=0.004), haematocrit (r=0.664; p=0.007), leukocyte count (r=0.554; p=0.032), and
total protein concentraon (r=0.689; p=0.004), and a negave with glycaemia (r=-
0.693; p=0.004). Conclusion: The obtained results provide preliminary evidence
about the associaon between acute canine babesiosis and lowered Hcy
concentraon in blood. Further studies will decipher whether this finding has
clinical applicability or represents just an APR epiphenomenon.
