Validation of the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio in dogs
Comparison between healthy dogs and dogs diagnosed with chronic kidney disease
This paper highlights the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UAC) as a valuable biomarker for the early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in dogs. The UAC effectively distinguishes between healthy dogs and those with CKD, particularly in the early stages, and enhances diagnostic accuracy when used alongside other renal biomarkers. This study examined the utility of UAC as a biomarker for early CKD diagnosis in dogs and its correlation with other renal biomarkers.
The research included 99 healthy dogs and 122 dogs with CKD. The UAC and other renal biomarkers were measured and evaluated in healthy dogs and those with CKD and ...
