Article Synopsis
- Creatinine is a key blood marker for diagnosing and monitoring kidney issues, but there are challenges in getting accurate measurements at the bedside for both humans and pets.
- This study tested the accuracy and precision of two handheld creatinine measuring devices (StatSensor and StatSensor Xpress) in dogs with varying levels of kidney function.
- Results showed that both devices had significant errors and variances, indicating they are not reliable for clinical use, highlighting the need for better point-of-care creatinine testing options in veterinary medicine.
