Camel Hepatic Lipidosis

This presentation delves into hepatic lipidosis in camels, a critical yet underdiagnosed metabolic condition affecting liver function. The introduction sets the stage by explaining the liver’s role in energy metabolism and fat regulation. We trace its history in veterinary literature, supported by current statistics reflecting its prevalence in stressed or malnourished camels. The causes—including negative energy balance, prolonged anorexia, and metabolic stress—are examined alongside contributing risk factors such as pregnancy, lactation, and transportation. Clinical signs and symptoms like lethargy, inappetence, jaundice, and weight loss are discussed in detail. We present key diagnostic tools such as liver enzymes, ultrasonography, and biopsy. Treatment and management strategies include nutritional support and fluid therapy. A real case study illustrates practical challenges and outcomes. The presentation concludes with prognosis, future prospects for early detection, and introduces our holistic solutions and exclusive books and publications for camel health advancement.
