Electrophoretic patterns of proteinuria in dogs with Cushing's syndrome
Journal of Small Animal Practice, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 227-234, March 2026.Objectives To describe the electrophoretic pattern of proteinuria in dogs with naturally occurring Cushing's syndrome. We hypothesised that urine protein electrophoresis in dogs with spontaneous Cushing's syndrome will reveal glomerular proteinuria. We also hypothesised that the severity of proteinuria would decrease during treatment with trilostane ...
