Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube.
Description
A comprehensive chemistry panel and SDMA (CT1035) for glomerular filtration rate estimation.

Wellness Chemistry (ALT (SGPT), Alkaline Phosphatase, Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, A/G Ratio, BUN, Creatinine, BUN/Creatinine Ratio, Glucose, Sodium, Potassium, Na/K Ratio, and Chloride) with Electrolytes and SDMA.

Interferences: Marked hemolysis and lipemia.

Bile Acid (POST)

Code
CT223
Results
1-2 days.
Country
CA
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube (labeled as POST).
Description
Interferences: Marked hemolysis or lipemia.

Note: Ursodeoxycholic acid may be detected by bile acid assay, causing falsely elevated values. Feed the patient a maintenance diet meal after a 10-12 hour fast and draw a serum sample 2-hours post-feeding. Label the tube as postprandial bile acids.

Bile Acids

Code
T225
Results
1-2 days.
Country
US
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube.
Description
Single Bile Acid

Single sample labelled as either PRE or POST bile acids.

Interferences: Marked hemolysis and lipemia. Ursodeoxycholic acid may be detected by bile acid assay, causing falsely elevated values.

Note: Ursodeoxycholic acid may be detected by bile acid assay, causing falsely elevated values. 1.0 mL of serum labeled either as fasted (10-12 hours fast) or post prandial (2-hours after feeding a maintenance diet meal).

Code
CT220
Results
1-2 days.
Country
CA
Specimen
0.5 mL serum in red top or serum separator tube (fasted sample labeled PRE), and 0.5 serum in red top or serum separator tube (2-hour post sample labeled POST).
Description
Fasted bile acids, 2-hour POST feeding bile acids.

PRE and POST prandial bile acids.

Interferences: Marked hemolysis and lipemia. Ursodeoxycholic acid may be detected by bile acid assay, causing falsely elevated values.

Note: Suggested protocol:
1. Obtain a fasting serum sample (0.5 mL) and label the tube PRE-prandial.
2. Obtain a second serum sample (0.5 mL) 2-hours after feeding the animal a maintenance diet and label the tube POST-prandial.
