Reference interval for urine kidney injury molecule-1 in cats
Urine specific gravity was a significant predictor of urine kidney injury molecule-1
This study aimed to establish a reference interval (RI) for urine kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) in healthy cats. An RI for urine KIM-1 in healthy cats would be useful for the interpretation of test results in disease states
History, physical examination, blood pressure, and feline immunodeficiency virus and feline leukemia virus serology status were determined. A complete blood cell count, serum biochemical profile, urinalysis and kidney ultrasound were performed, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, total thyroxine (TT4) and urine KIM-1 were measured. An RI was calculated and the effect of age, sex, body condition score (BCS), blood pressure, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), ...
