Establishment of reference intervals for serum symmetric dimethylarginine in adult nonracing Greyhounds.

Vet Clin Pathol

September 2018

Translational Research and Animal Clinical Trial Study (TRACTS) Group, Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Vic., Australia.

Background: The reference intervals (RIs) for the renal biomarkers urea and creatinine, in Greyhounds, are higher than those for non-sighthound breeds. A recent study has demonstrated a higher concentration of another biomarker of renal function, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), in Greyhounds compared with other dog breeds, and thus a breed-specific RI for serum SDMA may be appropriate for Greyhounds. Greyhounds appear to be predisposed to renal disease, and the establishment of an appropriate RI for SDMA may improve the ability to identify early renal dysfunction in this breed.

Am J Vet Res

July 2001

Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Kansas State University, Manhattan 66506-5701, USA.

Objective: To evaluate thyroid function in healthy Greyhounds, compared with healthy non-Greyhound pet dogs, and to establish appropriate reference range values for Greyhounds.

Animals: 98 clinically normal Greyhounds and 19 clinically normal non-Greyhounds.

Procedures: Greyhounds were in 2 groups as follows: those receiving testosterone for estrus suppression (T-group Greyhounds) and those not receiving estrus suppressive medication (NT-group Greyhounds).
