Article Synopsis
- The study examined the diagnostic value of canine C-reactive protein (c-CRP), haptoglobin (HPT), and 25-hydroxyvitamin-D (25(OH)D) in 55 dogs with nasal cavity disease (ND), focusing on differentiating between malignant and benign conditions.
- Out of the initial dogs, 17 were excluded due to systemic diseases or steroid treatments, resulting in 25 dogs with malignant ND and 30 with benign ND.
- The findings revealed that while c-CRP levels were higher in ND dogs compared to controls, no significant differences were observed in HPT levels, and lower 25(OH)D levels were noted in malignant cases; overall, the serum markers
Background: A multimodal approach for diagnostic tests under anesthesia is required to diagnose nasal cavity pathology (NP) reliably in dogs. Blood test results may provide clues to the suspected NP.
Methods: This prospective blinded study assessed 72 dogs with chronic nasal discharge due to NPs, and 10 healthy dogs as the control group (CG).
