Biochemical Profiling in Companion Animals: An Introduction and an Overview
نویسنده
چکیده
Biochemical profiling in veterinary medicine first became popular in the late 1970’s-1980’s. It was during this time period that automated systems for blood chemistry determinations first became available. This in turn reduced the cost per test and per blood sample, thereby making biochemical profiling economically feasible for veterinary medicine. An additional turning point was the advent of technologies and equipment which required only very small sample sizes. Small sample size enabled veterinarians to profile even their smallest patients.
