Comparison of urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio in urine samples taken by cystocentesis or free catch method

Abstract

Urinalysis is an important tool to find different diseases. There are various methods to sample urine in dogs; this thesis focuses on the free catch and cystocentesis sampling methods. The aim of our study was to determine if the urinary albumin-to-creatinine (UAC) values in the urine differ between the two methods or if the sampling method is not important.
