Preliminary evaluation of hepatitis A virus cell receptor 1/kidney injury molecule 1 in healthy horses treated with phenylbutazone.
Abstract: To investigate if hepatitis A virus cell receptor 1/kidney injury molecule 1 (HAVCR1/KIM1) in urine is detectable concurrently with increases in serum creatinine concentrations in horses receiving a recommended dose of phenylbutazone (PBZ) for 7 days. Methods: Preliminary study. Methods: Ten clinically healthy horses with normal physical examination and laboratory work were randomly assigned to PBZ or placebo groups (5 each). The PBZ group received PBZ at 4.4 mg/kg mixed with corn syrup orally every 12 hours. The placebo group received corn syrup orally every 12 hours. Both groups were treated for 7 days. Kidney ultrasonography was performed, and venous blood and urine samples were collected prior to commencement and at the end of treatment. Samples from 1 additional healthy horse, 3 horses with acute kidney failure, and 1 horse with chronic kidney failure were also evaluated. Results: None of the 10 horses had detectable HAVCR1/KIM1 in urine at baseline. Serum creatinine concentrations in placebo group did not increase, and HAVCR1/KIM1 was undetectable in urine. At the end of treatment, 3 of 5 horses receiving PBZ developed increases in serum creatinine of >26.5 μmol/L (>0.3 mg/dL), and HAVCR1/KIM1 was detectable in urine, despite normal findings on kidney ultrasonography in all horses. Conclusions: HAVCR1/KIM1 is detectable in urine and is associated with increases in serum creatinine concentrations of >26.5 μmol/L in horses following treatment with PBZ for 7 consecutive days. Thus, HAVCR1/KIM1 might aid in the early detection of acute kidney injury in horses.

This research pertains to a study investigating if the hepatitis A virus cell receptor 1/kidney injury molecule 1 (HAVCR1/KIM1) in horses’ urine can be detected at the same time as increases in serum creatinine concentrations, which are an indication of kidney damage. This observation was made in horses given a standard dose of phenylbutazone (PBZ), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, for seven days.
Method
- The study involved ten healthy horses that were randomly assigned to either the PBZ group or the placebo group with five horses in each. Horses in the PBZ group received a PBZ dosage at 4.4 mg/kg mixed with corn syrup orally every 12 hours. Horses in the placebo group received corn syrup orally every 12 hours. The varieties of treatment continued for seven days.
- Kidney ultrasound was performed on all horses, and vein blood and urine samples were collected before and after treatment. For further reference, samples from one healthy horse, three horses with acute kidney failure, and one horse with chronic kidney failure were also examined.
Results
- At the onset of the study, none of the ten horses had detectable HAVCR1/KIM1 in their urine. For horses in the placebo group, their serum creatinine concentrations did not increase, and HAVCR1/KIM1 was not detectable in their urine.
- However, at the end of the seven-day treatment, three of the five horses receiving PBZ had increased serum creatinine concentrations of more than 26.5 μmol/L and contained detectable HAVCR1/KIM1 in their urine. It is noteworthy that normal findings were recorded for all horses following a kidney ultrasound.
Conclusion
- The outcome of the research associates the detectability of HAVCR1/KIM1 in urine with an observed increase in serum creatinine concentrations of more than 26.5 μmol/L in horses that have been treated with PBZ for seven consecutive days.
- Therefore, this suggests that the presence of HAVCR1/KIM1 in urine could aid in the early detection of acute kidney injury in horses.
