Association of proteinuria at time of diagnosis with survival times in dogs with lymphoma
  • There was a significant difference in median survival between proteinuric and nonproteinuric dogs

Lymphoma has been implicated as a possible cause of proteinuria in dogs. However, information about the potential importance of proteinuria in dogs with lymphoma is limited. This study aimed to determine if the presence of proteinuria at diagnosis was associated with median survival times in dogs with lymphoma and if lymphoma stage (I-V) or type (B vs T) were associated with the presence of proteinuria. Eighty-six client-owned dogs with a new diagnosis of lymphoma between 2008 and 2020 were included.
