Clinical chemistries (BUN,LIP,AMYL etc.)
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Kidney Assays: | BUN,CREA, Uric acid, Specific gravity. |
Measures kidneys ability to remove nitrogenous waste. 75% of kidney is not functioning to be elevated. | BUN * serum preferred |
used to evaluate renal function | CREA *Serum or Plasma used |
Less useful in mammals. more meaningful in Dalmatians. Birds= produced in liver, secreted in kidneys. | Uric acid |
Tests the ability of the kidneys to concentrate or dilute urine. | Specific gravity |
Pancreas assays: | AMYL, LIP, TLI,GLU, Fructosamine. |
Increase is caused by pancreatitis or obstruction of the pancreatic ducts. | AMYL |
More sensitive test. Detects pancreatitis only produced by the pancreas. | LIP |
Tests the breakdown of protein. Use feces for this test. | TLI |
Indicaion of carbohydrate metabolism. Measures the amount of insulin produced. increase=caused by Diabetes. | GLU |
send to an outside lab. Increase=indicates persistent hyperglycemia. indication of average serum glucose over 1-2 weeks. | Fructosamine |
Other endocrine system assays: | ACTH stimulation test, Dexamethasone suppression. |
