Never before have veterinarians been able to detect active or acute injury to the kidneys with a kidney injury marker. Interpret your cystatin b test results For those of you that utilize idexx as your reference laboratory, you have probably already seen the urinary cystatin b results showing up on your blood work results
Visit the IDEXX booth (#2623) at VMX to learn more about our recent
The lab then provides a diagnostic algorithm when urinary cystatin b is above the reference interval
But what does an elevated urinary cystatin b really mean
And when should i recommend further diagnostic workup Interpreting increased results cystatin b ≥ 100 ng/ml there is an increased potential of active kidney injury patient presented for reason other than wellness visit patient presented for (e.g., sick, anesthesia/sedation, etc.) wellness visit Idexx cystatin b test cystatin b is a kidney injury biomarker Unlike the functional biomarkers creatinine and sdma that reflect changes in glomerular filtration rate, cystatin b concentrations increase when there is acute and/or active injury to renal tubular epithelial cells.
Interpreting increased results cystatin b ≥ 100 ng/ml there is an increased potential of active kidney injury patient presented for reason other than wellness visit (e.g., sick, anesthesia/sedation, etc.) sdma and creatinine within reference intervals appropriately concentrated urine Now with the idexx cystatin b test they can With innovation at the heart of our menu of tests, you get unmatched accuracy, for both our advanced tests and everyday tests.
