Introduction
-
It is carried out to diagnose an underlying disease, to evaluate the treatment and give an prognosis
-
A variety of clinical chemistry tests are done for this purpose
-
Commonly used being the small and large animal panels
-
For the most accurate interpretation of chemistry test results, consideration must be given to nature of sample, time of sampling, laboratory standards and other associated clinical parameter changes
Learning Objectives
-
Knowledge of clinical chemistry tests grouped by organ or disease process is made understood
-
The details of following are being discussed to learn about diseases, progress and prognosis.
- To learn about the following
-
Electrolytes and Acid-base Sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate and anion gap, acid-base disturbances
-
-
Minerals, Proteins and Iron: Calcium (total and ionized), phosphate, magnesium, Total protein, albumin, globulins, AG ratio, ammonia, uric acid, electrophoresis,Iron, total iron binding capacity, % saturation, ferritin
-
