PetSavers leading advances in CKD
Novel urinary biomarkers for the early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease is common in ageing dogs and cats but early diagnosis is difficult using blood tests. PetSavers is funding research into using urine cystatin C as a marker of CKD in dogs and to evaluate the use of urinary albumin and cystatin C to detect CKD in cats.
