Bias in feline plasma biochemistry results between three in-house analysers and a commercial laboratory analyser: results should not be directly compared

摘要: In-house analysers are commonplace in small animal practices but cannot be calibrated by the operator; therefore, any bias generated plasma analyte values corrected. Guidelines such as grading of renal disease and published reference intervals (RIs) veterinary textbooks assume biochemistry different equivalent. This study evaluated degree bias, well if was constant or proportional, for feline biochemical analytes assessed three in-house compared with a commercial laboratory analyser. Blood samples were collected on 101 occasions from 94 cats and, after centrifugation, divided into four aliquots. One aliquot sent to remaining tested using analysers. Results each analyser results difference plots analyses, comparing percentages within prov...
