Abstract :The aim of this study was to evaluate serum iron (Fe), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation (TD), haptoglobin and ceruloplasmin levels in cows with reticuloperitonitis traumatica (RPT) and pericarditis traumatica (PT). Swiss brunettes and crossbreds between 2-6 years of age were used in the study. A total of 60 cows, 30 cows diagnosed clinically and radiologically as RPT and 30 cows diagnosed as PT, constituted the patient groups. The control group consisted of 20 healthy cows in the same age range. Serum Fe, TD and TDBK levels were significantly lower in PT and RPT groups compared to the control group (P<0.001); haptoglobin levels were significantly higher in PT and RPT groups compared to the control group (P<0.001); ceruloplasmin levels were significantly higher in RPT and PT groups compared to the control group (P<0.05). As a result, serum Fe level, total iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation played a role as negative acute phase reactivators while haptoglobin and ceruloplasmin changed as positive acute phase reactivators in cows with reticuloperitonitis traumatica and pericarditis traumatica. These parameters are very important in determining the severity of inflammation.
