Nefrolithiasis pada red eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)
Abstract
Kasus nefrolithiasis ini ditemukan pada seekor red eared slider (RES) atau di Indonesia dikenal dengan nama kura-kura Brazil, secara tidak disengaja ketika hewan tersebut diperiksa secara radiografi untuk melihat morfologi normalnya. Kura-kura telah dipelihara selama satu tahun oleh pemilik tanpa ada keluhan apapun. Kura-kura tersebut dipelihara di dalam kolam bersama dengan ikan, pakan yang diberikan pemilik adalah ikan kecil dan sayur. Riwayat kura-kura sebelum dipelihara pemilik tidak diketahui. Radiografi dilakukan melalui 3 standar pandang, yaitu dorsoventral, laterolateral dan craniocaudal. Hasil radiografi dari ketiga standar pandang tersebut menunjukkan adanya massa radiopaque di bagian kanan dan kiri abdomen kura-kura. Pemeriksaan ultrasonografi (USG) dilakukan sebagai diagnosa penunjang. Hasil yang didapat dari pemeriksaan USG ini adalah ditemukan massa hiperekhoik pada ginjal.Downloads
