Immuno-Diagnostics Antibodies & Antigens for Veterinary Kidnye Function Test

Kidney function is essentially necessary in animals to remove blood wastes, excess water and electrolytes and other related roles in controlling blood pressure. Kidneys also release erythropoietin for the formation of required red blood cells and hormone to balance acid and base concentration to make proper functioning of nerve and muscle.

What is Kidney function for animals

Kidney function in animals is one of the significant body functions, which are necessary for the well-being of an animal and the performance of numerous tasks. Kidneys help in filtering the blood , removing wastes products and substances that may be in excess in the body in maintaining the balance of body fluids. It manages water and electrolytes, the concentrations of salts and acids in the body necessary for proper function of the nervous and muscular systems. Kidneys also interact with the regulation of blood pressure through affecting blood volume and releasing an enzyme called renin. Besides, they synthesise erythropoietin which helps the bones produce red blood cells that aid in circulation of oxygen in the body. Thus, maintaining the acid-base equilibrium, the kidneys have a central role in the general metabolism.

Detecting Diseases Through Kidney function in Animals

This table may be employed by veterinarians and other health care professionals involved in the evaluation of kidney and other organs’ function in animals and developing diagnosis and management plans of the disease based on these biomarkers.

Biomarker Animals Normal Range Implications in Disease Specimens/Biofluids Age Considerations Measurement Method
Creatinine Dogs, Cats 0.5-1.6 mg/dL High in renal damage or failure, low may indicate reduced muscle mass Blood Lower in older animals Jaffe method
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Dogs, Cats 10-30 mg/dL High in renal failure, dehydration; low in liver disease Blood Higher in older animals Enzymatic colorimetric assay
Phosphate Dogs, Cats 2.5-6.0 mg/dL High in chronic kidney disease, low in malabsorption Blood Younger animals higher Colorimetric assay
Albumin Dogs, Cats 2.5-4.0 g/dL Low in kidney disease (protein-losing nephropathy) Blood Varies with disease state Bromocresol green method
Sodium Dogs, Cats 139-154 mEq/L Low in kidney disease, can also be high depending on hydration status Blood Not age-dependent Ion-selective electrode
Potassium Dogs, Cats 3.5-5.8 mEq/L High in acute kidney failure, low in chronic kidney disease or poor intake Blood Not age-dependent Ion-selective electrode
Calcium Dogs, Cats 8.8-11.3 mg/dL High or low in kidney disease depending on stage and secondary conditions Blood Varies with breed/age Colorimetric assay
Urine Specific Gravity Dogs, Cats 1.015-1.045 Low in kidney disease (impaired concentrating ability) Urine Higher in young animals Refractometer
Urine Protein Dogs, Cats Ratio <0.5 High in kidney disease (protein-losing nephropathy) Urine Not age-dependent Protein-to-creatinine ratio test
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Dogs, Cats 10-65 pg/mL High in chronic kidney disease due to phosphorus retention Blood No specific consideration Immunoassay
