Postmortem Analysis of Vitreous Urea Nitrogen, Creatinine, and Magnesium of Renal and Post-Renal Disease in Cats

Analysis of vitreous urea nitrogen (VUN) and creatinine (CREA) has been shown to be a useful indicator azotemia in human postmortem examinations. Previous studies cats, dogs, horses, cattle have good correlation between serum ocular fluid for creatinine. The aim this study was evaluate differences VUN, CREA, magnesium (MG) concentrations humor collected from cats that presented with renal or post-renal disease without disease. Nine twenty underwent autopsy were used study. Collection performed, samples frozen at −80 °C minimum 24 h prior analysis using an in-clinic dry chemistry analyzer. Overall, there statistically significant MG suspected can provide diagnostic information pertaining function issues the urethra urinary bladder. Future exploring are warranted.
