Konkrétně se jedná o toto:
DOBERMAN HEPATITIS
In Dobermans, the disorder is called chronic hepatitis, copper associated hepatitis or Doberman hepatitis (DH). The name copper associated hepatitis is used since copper typically accumulates into the liver cells. Doberman hepatitis is the term which I have used in my own research.
First, articles about Doberman hepatitis were published already during the 1970’s and after that, there have publications regarding this topic have come out on a regular basis. Even though there has been a lot of research, much of the details of the disease are still unknown. We know that females are more often affected than males, so there is an obvious sex predisposition. The reason for that is unknown. Clinically, the dog will get sick between 4 to 6 years of age - at the dog’s best age. The dog is already trained Typically, Doberman hepatitis is very aggressive. The clinical condition of the dog will decline normally very fast after the first symptoms of the liver malfunction have appeared. Currently there is no cure or control of the disease after it has been diagnosed, showing how aggressive the disease is. Normally the clinically affected individual has to be euthanized either immediately or soon after the diagnosis. The treatment used today is mainly corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive drugs such as azathioprine. As a supportive treatment it is advisable to check the dog’s diet. Today, there are multiple choices of special commercial diets for dogs having liver disorders.
The etiology of the disease is not known today. Researchers have tried to find autoantibodies typical to human autoimmune based chronic hepatitis also from affected Dobermans. Nothing significant has been found yet. Some kind of immunological malfunction is said to cause this disorder. This is based on the role of mononuclear cell infiltration observed in the liver samples.
Since the etiology is unknown, an effective treatment is missing today.
