…ting renal dysfunction. Markers of GFR:Â Urea nitrogen, creatinine, cystatin C, symmetrical dimethylarginine (SDMA). This is most accurately measured with clearance tests, such as inulin clearance. Urinalysis: In particular urine specific gravity (which tells us about tubular function), urine sediment examination (cells, crystals and casts), chemical constituents (tells us tubular and general body metabolic function) and gross features….
…ia is usually normocytic and normochromic. Idiopathic neutropenia in cats: Cats can suffer from idiopathic neutropenia (with no left shift or toxic change). The cats are usually negative for common viruses associated with neutropenia, such as feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and are usually asymptomatic (they do not suffer from recurrent bacterial infections).Any cat with an unexplained neutropenia should be te…

…the apparent cause in most cases. Bone marrow hypoplasia: This is characterized by decreased but not absent hematopoietic cells. It can be due to the same causes as bone marrow aplasia. Bone marrow necrosis: Uncommon; rarely a cause of pancytopenia. This can be due to ischemic injury (vasculitis), myelotoxins (drugs), viruses (e.g. canine parvovirus), radiation, and drugs. Core biopsy is generally considered more reliable for diagnosis than an as…
