    Glaucoma is a serious disease that affects numerous species, being one of the main responsible for blindness in dogs, and in cats at a lower incidence, leading to a degeneration of nervous structures and progressive loss of vision, thus causing irreversible blindness. The main associated factor is the increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) caused by the reduction or obstruction of aqueous humor drainage. Among the diagnostic methods are ophthalmoscopy, gonioscopy and application tonometry. The main objective of clinical treatment is to provide temporary relief and with the progression of the disease, surgical intervention can be performed. As the condition has a progressive character, it causes irreversible visual damage, leading the animal to loss of vision. The purpose of this article is to review the literature on glaucoma in dogs and cats.

    Métodos diagnósticos da síndrome cardiorrenal
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) ANDREACI, Fernanda Lepri; SANTOS, Larissa Andressa Ripari dos; PINHEIRO, Rafaela Cristiane Francisco; TORRES, Maria Lúcia Marcucci
    Cardiorenal syndrome describes a condition in which the kidneys and heart are affected simultaneously, this is due to the complex interrelationship between these two organs that together are responsible for helping to maintain body homeostasis, contributing to the control of blood pressure, maintenance of vascular resistance, peripheral circulation, tissue oxygenation, diuresis and natriuresis. The initial injury may come from the heart or kidneys and will lead to dysfunction in the other. The implications resulting from this syndrome are of high relevance in the small animal clinic, as it has an increasing prevalence, however its pathophysiology is not fully understood. Early diagnosis is essential for choosing the best therapeutic options and better prognosis for the patient. This work aims to describe the main diagnostic approaches to be used.
