As cats get older, physical examinations become more frequent. Every time it is the doctor who helps you explain the results of the laboratory test, so have you ever thought about analyzing the laboratory test results through what you have learned? The editor will explain to you below what the laboratory values ​​of the cat's kidney function represent. What is it. If you remember this, you won’t have to go through all the trouble of asking people for your next physical examination. ​​​​​​

When urea nitrogen BUN (normal value 5.4-13.6Mmol/L) is higher than the normal value, it can be seen in 70% of the nephrons losing function, such as: glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, and tumors. Urinary stones and rupture of the urinary system may also be seen. Lower than normal values ​​are common in liver disease, cirrhosis, low-protein feeding, long-term anorexia, and aflatoxin poisoning.

When creatinine CR (normal value 60-190Umol/L) is higher than the normal value, renal function may be reduced.

When uric acid Ua (normal value 6.8-9.8Umol/L) is higher than the normal value, it can be seen in reduced glomerular filtration rate, nephritis, renal dysfunction, and significantly increased in renal failure.

When blood glucose GLU (normal value 3.9-7.5Mmol) is higher than the normal value, it can be seen in lack of insulin secretion and hormone application, including diabetes, pancreatitis, and thyroid and adrenal hyperfunction. Blood sugar rises significantly when the sympathetic nerves are excited during abdominal pain. When the value is lower than normal, increased insulin secretion or insulin injection, thyroid and adrenal insufficiency, failure, etc. are common.

Elevated carbon dioxide (normal value 15-30Mmol) is seen in acidosis caused by various factors, on the contrary, it is alkalosis.

When calcium Ca (normal value 2.09-2.74Mmol) is higher than the normal value, it can be seen in excessive oral administration or injection of VD, acidosis and myeloma. When it is lower than the normal value, it is common in hypocalcemia and chronic nephritis. Kidney failure.

Phosphorus P (normal value 1.23-2.07Mmol) can be seen in the late stages of nephritis and uremia when it is higher than the normal value. VD poisoning, hypoalbuminemia. When the value is lower than normal, malabsorption of nutrients, rickets, VD deficiency, and diabetic acidosis are common, high phosphorus and low calcium feeds are required.
