Evaluation of folate concentrations in dogs with chronic enteropathy

Serum folate is considered a biomarker of chronic enteropathy (CE) in dogs, but few studies have examined associations with markers of CE. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum folate concentrations in dogs with and without CE and associations with sample hemolysis and selected markers of CE. The authors hypothesized that hypofolatemia would be more common in dogs with CE and associated with hypocobalaminemia, higher CIBDAI, and hypoalbuminemia. Dogs with available serum folate measurements performed at an academic veterinary hospital between January 2016 and December 2019 were evaluated. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed to categorize cases as CE or ...
