Abstract:
Renal problems in canines are of worrying concern to both pet owners and practitioners throughout the globe as death becomes inevitable if appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic intervention is not carried out at the earliest. Creatinine has been used as a gold standard for screening renal disorders for years in canines. Much research has been carried out to develop and standardise novel renal biomarkers which can effectively diagnose renal issues well in advance than the existing renal biomarkers. In this review, we will discuss the various attributes of existing, timetested renal biomarkers and the prospects of various newly developed and emerging renal biomarkers.
