Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) can often develop such diseases as hepatitis of viral etiology, alcoholic hepatitis, drug affection of the liver and other diseases masked as congestive liver. In most cases CHF concomitant liver diseases have an atypical course with a tendency to a chronic course. CHF is one of the important pathogenetic mechanisms lying in the basis of chronicity of concomitant liver diseases. Refractory CHF, inconsistency of the hemodynamic indices of persistent hepatomegaly must lead a physician to the detection of probable independent liver diseases complicating the syndrome of heart failure. CHF is a factor causing an enhanced fibrosing liver reaction. An important diagnostic test of fibrinogenesis lying in the basis of chronicity of liver diseases, is the determination of enzymatic markers reflecting synthesis and catabolism of the main substance of connective tissue. Change in the levels of haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin and glutamic acid dehydrogenase is an indirect sign of damage of the liver parenchymal endoplasmic reticulum. These indices can serve as differential criteria of the prevalence of cardiovascular disorders in the liver or concomitant independent liver diseases.

Individual risk factors for clinical mastitis within the first month of lactation (early clinical mastitis, ECM) were analyzed in 695 Holstein multiparous cows (561 ECM- and 134 ECM+) which were clinical mastitis-free during the previous lactation. They belonged to 44 herds from the French Brittany region and were surveyed for 4 years. Individual biological parameter levels during the last 2 months of gestation, production of the preceding lactation and calving conditions and health were the available explanatory variables. The construction and explanation model used multiple logistic regression run with herd as a fixed effect. High precalving plasma ceruloplasmin oxidase (p < 0.01) and low glutamate dehydrogenase (p < 0.05) activities, high 305-day previous-lactation milk yield (p < 0.001) and milk protein content at the last milk-test day before drying-off (p < 0.01) were the significant risk factors for ECM occurrence. Intensive production and unsatisfactory dietary conditions (energy and antioxidants) would increase ECM risk in the dairy cow. Further studies should be conducted to determine if metabolic and/or genetic factors could explain the relationship between ceruloplasmin and subsequent ECM occurrence.
