The Relationship

Monitoring blood pressure helps a clinical veterinarian assess various conditions in birds. Blood pressure is not only a bio-indicator of renal or cardiovascular disease but is also a vital indicator for anesthesia. Anesthetic- and sedation-related mortality is higher in birds than dogs or cats. The traditional method of blood pressure measurement in mammals mainly relies on indirect methods. However, indirect blood pressure measurement is not reliable in birds, making the direct method the only gold standard. Although an arterial catheter can provide continuous real-time arterial pressure in birds, the method requires technical skill and is limited by bird size, and is thus not practical in birds with circulatory collapse. Intra-osseous (IO) blood pressure is potentially related to arterial pressure and may be a much easier and safer technique that is less limited by animal size. However, the relationship between IO pressure and arterial blood pressure has not been established. This study used mathematical methods to determine the relationship between IO pressure and arterial blood pressure. The Granger causality (G.C.) theory was applied in the study and used to analyze which pressure signal was leading the other. Our findings suggest that IO pressure is G.C. by arterial blood pressure; thus, the use of IO pressure measurements as an alternative to arterial blood pressure measurement is a rational approach.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurement

Renal hypertension is one of the earliest and the most prevalent complications of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD). Among renal patients, hypertension is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated. For casual blood pressure measurement, the best method is auscultatory, while for ambulatory blood pressure measurement, oscillometric method is the most commonly used. Both casual and ambulatory blood pressure measurement provide more powerful means of diagnosing hypertension. Masked hypertension is a condition in which casual blood pressure is normal but ambulatory blood pressure is elevated. The risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is higher with masked hypertension as compared to the controls. Children and adolescents with CKD are at high risk of cardiovascular disease that has been established as the leading cause of death in patients with end stage renal disease. Left ventricular hypertrophy remains the most thoroughly documented form of end-organ damage caused by hypertension in children and adolescents with CKD. Based on clear evidence on the correlation between blood pressure and cardiovascular morbidity, mortality, and renal function, renal hypertension must be aggressively treated. Target blood pressure for patients with renal hypertension should be at low normal values: <75 percentile for patients without proteinuria and <50 percentile for patients with proteinuria. Renin-angiotensin system antagonists are considered the first choice pharmacological option in hypertensive CKD 2-4 patients while the management of volume overload is the most important in dialysis patients. Successful transplantation can eliminate or significantly improve uremia-related cardiovascular risk factors and increase predicted life expectancy.
