Insights into Urine Microalbumin (mALB) and Urine Protein (UP)

The better way to find out for sure if companion animals have kidney disease is through ACR and UPCR testing

It is known that proteinuria is one of the most significant symptoms in dogs and cats with kidney disease. Clinically through tracking and measurement total protein or albumin in urine can assess whether kidney function is healthy. However, the concentration of albumin and total protein in random urine will be affected by the concentrating or diluting effect of fluid intake, leading to misjudgment. As a result, dividing the concentration of albumin and total protein by the concentration of urine creatinine can counteract the effects of water intake. Using ACR and UPCR can more objectively evaluate glomerular function.

Paired Analysis of D-Dimer and Its Correlated Hemostatic Parameters in 30 Dogs with Neoplasms after Tumorectomy

D-Dimer may serve as a potential biomarker for tumor presence

The study investigates D-dimer and hemostatic parameter changes in 30 dogs with neoplasms before and after tumorectomy. It highlights that tumor-bearing dogs exhibit significantly elevated D-dimer levels compared to healthy controls. Post-surgery, D-dimer, fibrinogen, and thromboelastography G values significantly decreased, indicating potential tumor burden reduction. T...
