Ionised Calcium
Decreases in ionised calcium can indicate a disruption in calcium homeostasis. Note: Contact the lab prior to sampling. Sample Requirement Turnaround Time Price Laboratory Species Serum Referred test €55.00 Biochemistry Canine Related test(s) None Related article(s) None
IgG
The IgG test is to assess the passive transfer of immunity (from the colostrum) to the newborn foal. IgG levels should be > 800 mg / dl, levels below 400 mg / dl suggest failure of passive transfer and levels between 400 mg / dl and 800 mg / dl indicate partial failure of passive […]
TLI (Trypsin-Like Immunoreactivity) Canine
Serum TLI will detect exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in dogs and cats. Animals with EPI have very low levels of TLI, animals with pancreatitis may have very high levels of TLI.

TLI (Trypsin-Like Immunoreactivity) Feline
Serum TLI will detect exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in dogs and cats. Animals with EPI have very low levels of TLI, animals with pancreatitis may have very high levels of TLI. Sample Requirement Turnaround Time Price Laboratory Species Serum Referred test €95.00 Biochemistry Feline Related test(s) Amylase, Lipase Related article(s) None
Total Protein
Hyperproteinaemia can occur in dehydration, extreme hyperfibrinogenaemia and the hypergammaglobulinaemia of chronic infection. Measurement of total protein is therefore too non-specific to be useful in the evaluation of the elite equine athlete. Hypoproteinaemia, when identified, similarly provides better information when broken down into its sub-components. Hypoproteinaemia is always disturbing.

TRH Stimulation Test
Test used in the diagnosis of PPID when the ACTH result is equivocal Sample Requirement Turnaround Time Price Laboratory Species EDTA plasma Same day €60.00 Biochemistry Equine Related test(s) ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone) Related article(s) None
Testosterone Rig Test
Testosterone stimulation test can be used to identify cryptorchid or testicular function. Animals that have been castrated successfully have low basal levels of testosterone and show little or no increase following hCG. Cryptorchids have an increased basal testosterone which usually increases following hCG. Animals with normal testicular function should have normal basal levels of testosterone […]
