【 摘 要 】

References(22)A 6-year-old spayed female Jack Russell Terrier presented with a 1-monthhistory of lethargy, anorexia, vomiting and weight loss. The dog was fed beef and chickenjerky treats daily in addition to a commercial diet. Laboratory tests revealed azotemia,hypokalemia, hyperchloremia, metabolic acidosis and glucosuria with normoglycemia. Urineamino acid analysis showed significant amino acid loss into the urine. Thus, Fanconisyndrome was diagnosed, and based on the case history and extensive diagnostic testing,excessive consumption of jerky treats was strongly suspected as the cause. Glucosuriaresolved 7 days after the withdrawal of jerky treats and fluid therapy. Aminoaciduria wassubstantially, but not completely, improved 3 months after diagnosis. Mild azotemiaremained, suggesting chronic renal disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is thefirst reported case of Fanconi syndrome following the consumption of jerky treats inJapan.
