ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. Lyme disease is a multi-faceted illness caused by infection due to Borrelia burgdorferi . Acute kidney damage secondary to Lyme disease is well described but less so as a chronic event.

Detailed explanation-2: -If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (e.g., rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Patients with early disseminated Lyme disease were more likely to have elevated liver function studies (66%) compared with patients with localized disease (34%) (P = . 002). After antibiotic treatment, elevated liver function tests improved or resolved in most patients.

Detailed explanation-4: -A small percentage of dogs that get Lyme disease may get Lyme nephritis. This is a kidney disease thought (right now) to be caused by antibody/antigen immune complex formation that are deposited in the kidneys and lead to acute renal failure. These dogs have, unfortunately, a universally grave prognosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Blood System. Damaged kidneys slow the production of the hormone erythropoietin, resulting in anemia and iron deficiency. The Cardio-Vascular System. The Integumentary System (Skin) The Skeletal System. Joints. The Circadian System. The Nervous System. The Digestive System. More items •11-Jan-2017
