Misty recently had a dental and had some blood work drawn. Misty is about 4 ½ years old and is in very good health. However, I am concerned about these numbers showing early CRF. This was a fasting draw, so no water or food for about 10-12 hours. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m not sure if that would impact the results or not.
I have already spoken to my vet and gotten his advice, but there are so many very knowledgeable people on this site that I would love to put up the results and hear what you think as well.
Again, this is not a full panel as it was only drawn as a precaution to the general anesthesia for the dental. Mistyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s numbers are in the middle, the normal range is in parentheses to the right.
BUN\t34 mg/dL\t (16-36)
CREA\t2.5 mg/dL\t(0.8-2.4)
TP\t8.1 g/dL\t (5.7-8.9)
ALT\t121 U/L\t\t(12-130)
ALKP\t30 U/L\t\t(14-111)
GLU\t135 mg/dL\t(74-159)
Na\t165 mmol/L\t(150-165)
K\t3.8 mmol/L\t(3.5-5.8)
Cl\t123 mmol/L\t(112-129)
Also written at the bottom of the paper is PCU = 50, TS=8. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m not sure what these values mean…
As you can imagine, I am very concerned. Any help is much appreciated.
