    Also called Fatty Degeneration, Feline Hepatic Lipidosis (FHL) is a highly fatal hepatobiliary disease that affects domestic cats. The most observed clinical signs are anorexia, weight loss, lethargy, emesis, jaundice and eventually behavioral symptoms, and may also present neurological signs, such as drooling, blindness, seizures and coma (OLIVEIRA; MELLO; VIEIRA, 2017). The diagnosis is based on the patient's history, clinical examination, physical examination and complementary tests such as blood count, biochemistry, ultrasound, radiography, clotting test, liver biopsy, fine needle aspiration and necropsy. The definitive diagnosis is through histopathological analysis (RODRIGUES, 2009). The objective of this work is to carry out a review of the disease, explaining its characteristics, causes, possible treatments and prognosis.

    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-09-18) ALVIM, Talita Gonçalves; FARIA, Maeli Ribeiro de; SANTOS, Thayná Franco dos; MARCUCCI, Maria Lucia Torres
    Systemic lupus erythematosus is an immune-mediated disease of unknown etiology that has a genetic predisposition, hormonal and immunological involvement and ultraviolet radiation. The symptoms of the disease are erythema, photosensitivity, oral ulcers, arthritis, weakness, pyrexia, and weight loss, in addition to renal, neurological, hemolytic (anemia, leukopenia and lymphopenia) and immunological (antinuclear antibodies) disorders. Clinical treatment is often a challenge, due to the variety of symptoms that are similar in other dermatological and systemic pathologies; for the development of the diagnosis, the symptoms of the disease, the patient's history and specific tests are necessary.
