| dc.description.abstract | Aim: in a previous thesis aiming to determine reference intervals for canine venous blood
significant bias was found for creatinine measurement compared with data obtained from a
clinical chemistry analyzer. We intended to expand this study and investigate frequently
measured parameters, namely sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit
(Ht), glucose (G), and creatinine (Cre) over clinically meaningful ranges.
Materials and methods: canine venous blood samples obtained at the Teaching Hospital of
the University of Veterinary Medicine, Budapest were analyzed with the EPOC system and
the Advia 2120i as well as the Olympus AU400 analyzer at the clinical laboratory. Statistical
methods were used to determine concordance. | en_US |
