Measurement of glucose and lactate for the diagnosis of feline arterial thromboembolism: a multi-center study

This study aimed to establish lactate and glucose differences between affected and non-affected limbs in cats with feline arterial thromboembolism (FATE) and to evaluate the correlation between these values and survival to discharge. Blood glucose and lactate concentrations were prospectively obtained on admission from client-owned FATE cats and client-owned cats presented for other conditions. The glucose and lactate concentrations of the front limbs (or non-affected) and the hind limbs (or affected) were measured. Lactate (Δlactate) and glucose (Δglucose) differences between the two limbs were calculated. The FATE group and control groups included 18 and 41 cats, respectively. The median age of the ...
