Albumin is among the most important proteins and plays a significant role in maintenance of colloid osmotic pressure, wound healing, decreasing oxidative damage, carrying drugs and endogenous substances, and coagulation. Hypoalbuminemia is common in acute and chronic illnesses. Replenishment of albumin can be in the form of fresh frozen, frozen or cryopoor plasma, or in the form of human or canine albumin concentrates. Infusion of human albumin concentrate to healthy and critically ill dogs can induce acute and delayed hypersensitivity reactions. Death has been reported. Therefore, allogenic transfusion in the form of plasma products or canine albumin concentrate is recommended.

Hematological and biochemical parameters in the blood of working Belgian Shepherd dogs: An age-related study.
Open Vet J
November 2024
Department for Clinical Sciences, University of Sarajevo-Veterinary Faculty, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Background: Age-related changes in physiological parameters are crucial in understanding the health and performance of working dogs, particularly those in demanding roles such as military and law enforcement. However, limited research exists on how aging affects the hematological and biochemical health of these dogs.
Aim: This study aims to characterize age-related variations in hematological and biochemical parameters in working Belgian Shepherd dogs to provide insights that could inform health management strategies for these animals.
Evaluation of calcium, phosphorus and some biochemical parameters in dogs with open and closed cervix pyometra.
Pol J Vet Sci
June 2024
İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Istanbul, 34320, Türkiye.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in calcium, phosphorus and some biochemical parameters in dogs with open and closed cervix pyometra, which was then compared with a control group. A total of 62 bitches of age group 5-10 years old irrespective of breed were enrolled into the study. Control group consisted of 22 bitches which were clinically healthy and in luteal phase of the estrus cycle.

December 2024
Laboratory of Veterinary Internal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, Chungbuk, Republic of Korea.
Background: Seizures can cause as well as result from neuroinflammation. This study was performed to identify the hematologic inflammatory parameters (HIPs) and inflammatory mediators that change after a single seizure in a canine pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizure model.
Methods: Five healthy Beagle dogs were used in this study.
Use of thymidine kinase 1 autoantibody, thymidine kinase antigen, extracellular protein kinase A autoantibody, and C-reactive protein for early detection of malignant tumors in dogs.

December 2024
Seoul National University College of Veterinary Medicine, 1 Gwanak-ro, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
Background: Although the importance of early diagnosis of malignant tumors is a major concern, an easily accessible in-house method has not been established.
Objectives: To investigate the most optimal model by combining thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) autoantibody, extracellular protein kinase A (ECPKA) autoantibody, TK1 antigen, C-reactive protein (CRP), age, breed, and sex.
Animals: Serum samples from 1702 dogs were collected from local animal hospitals and referral animal medical centers in Korea.
Nucleated red blood cells for characterization of systemic inflammatory response syndrome in dogs.
J Vet Intern Med
December 2024
College of Veterinary Medicine, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 52828, Republic of Korea.
Background: Nucleated red blood cells (nRBCs) are increased by disease processes and hematopoietic stress.
Objectives: To evaluate the utility of nRBCs as a marker of disease severity and prognosis in dogs with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).
Animals: Sixty-two client-owned dogs met the criteria of SIRS without anemia.
