Creatinine
Elevations should be interpreted with caution in the presence of dehydration and in these circumstances, re-evaluation after correction of hydration status is always advisable.

Most electrolyte values seen in screening profiles lie within or very close to, reference ranges in healthy horses. They are elevated in tandem with the elevated albumin levels seen in dehydration. Significant deviations from these norms are usually seen in profound illness such as systemic illness, GIT or urinary tract disease. Sample Requirement Turnaround Time […]
