Relationships among urinary protein‐to‐creatinine ratio, urine specific gravity, and bacteriuria in canine urine samples

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2019
Background Proteinuria is a marker of chronic kidney disease in dogs and a risk factor for increased morbidity and death. Predictive models using the results of readily available screening tests could foster early recognition.

Urinalysis: diagnostic performance of urine dipstick compared to an automated microscopic method

open access: yesMedicina Universitaria, 2022
Introduction: Urinalysis is one of the most important clinical laboratory tests because numerous pathologies can manifest or be suspected through this test. Although the previous reports mention that urinary microscopy is a fundamental part of urinalysis

Salivary Methotrexate as a Predictor of Oral Mucositis in Hematological Cancer Patients: A Phase II Randomized, Double‐Blind Clinical Trial

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in preventing oral mucositis (OM) and to assess serum and salivary methotrexate (MTX) levels as predictors of OM in adults receiving high‐dose methotrexate (HD‐MTX).

Conversion of Urine Protein–Creatinine Ratio or Urine Dipstick Protein to Urine Albumin–Creatinine Ratio for Use in Chronic Kidney Disease Screening and Prognosis

open access: yes, 2020
Background: Although measuring albuminuria is the preferred method for defining and staging chronic kidney disease (CKD), total urine protein or dipstick protein is often measured instead.Objective: To develop equations for converting urine protein ...

Renal and Functional Vulnerability in Hansen Disease: A Framework for Chronic Infectious Disability in Endemic Settings

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Hansen disease is a neglected infectious disease associated with reactional inflammation, neuropathy and long‐term disability. Renal involvement and sarcopenia have been described separately, but their clinical coexistence has received limited attention. This review examines evidence for a hypothesised renal–functional vulnerability

Evaluation of dipstick analysis among elderly residents to detect bacteriuria: a cross-sectional study in 32 nursing homes

open access: yesBMC Geriatrics, 2009
Background Few studies have evaluated dipstick urinalysis for elderly and practically none present confidence intervals. Furthermore, most previous studies combine all bacteria species in a "positive culture".

Identification of Lupus Erythematosus Cells and Ragocytes in Peripheral Blood from a Dog with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesVeterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 3‐year‐old female‐intact German Shepherd presented for the evaluation of progressive shifting leg lameness, carpal swelling, and weight loss with a poor appetite since adoption about three months prior. Routine blood smear evaluation, lymph node, and synovial fluid cytologies all revealed rare neutrophils with cytoplasmic inclusions ...

Stability of Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteins in Dogs and Cats: Effects of Refrigeration and Freezing Over Time

open access: yesVeterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The quantification of protein levels is an important part of standard cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. However, delays in processing due to shipment and/or laboratory opening schedules, combined with the need to preserve sample stability during storage, pose critical challenges to ensuring accurate diagnoses.

Predicting the Risk of Proteinuria Based on Blood Plasma Fourier‐Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Algorithms From Pregnant Women and Newborns

open access: yesAnalytical Science Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Proteinuria, defined by an abnormally elevated concentration of proteins in the urine, serves as a critical biomarker for the early detection and diagnosis of preeclampsia. Elevated proteinuria levels adversely affect both maternal and foetal health, increasing the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight.
