The biochemistry significance of Seamaty's reagent kit "16 Comprehensive Diagnostic Parameters" for Vets

The SMT120VP is a fully automated veterinary biochemistry analyzer developed and manufactured by Seamaty. The instrument can measure up to 14 biochemical items. The "16 Comprehensive Diagnostic Parameters" is the best choice for your pet's physical examination. It can be used to test liver and kidney function, blood glucose, K﹢and Na﹢, etc. Therefore, it’s meaningful for nephropathy monitoring. It’s very helpful for the sterilization of felines and canines, and it also can be used for simple screening of emergency diseases and health checks. Among them, the ALP can better assist veterinarians in the judgment of pancreatic diseases.

The test parameters include ALB, ALP, ALT, AMY, CHE, K", Na", Crea, GLU, TB, TP, UA, BUN, A/G, B/C, and GLOB.

The results of each of these parameters can be combined to determine the type of disease in your pet and to treat your pet better.

1. CHE

Elevated: Generally meaningless.

Decrease: Commonly seen in organophosphorus pesticide poisoning, various liver diseases, tumors, etc.

2. GLU

Elevated.

(1) Pathological elevation: a. diabetes; b. chronic liver disease; c. endocrine disorders.

(2) Non-pathological elevation: a. Drugs (glucose, steroid hormones, adrenocorticotropic hormones, thiazide diuretics, etc.); b. Stress elevation; c. Post-feeding test, etc.

Decrease in.

(1) Decreased glucose production or secretion: seen in intestinal non-absorption, progressive liver disease, hyperalgesia, etc.

(2) Undernutrition, starvation, idiopathic in young animals.

(3) Hyperinsulinism, tumors, exercise, renal diabetes.

(4) Samples left for too long.

3. TB

Elevated.

(1) Liver disease: common in babesiosis, blood Baltons disease, infectious hepatitis, leptospirosis, bacterial hepatitis, cirrhosis, drug toxicity, etc.

(2) Cholestasis.

(3) Hemolysis or lipemia.

Decrease: No special clinical significance.

4. UA

Elevated.

(1) Primary increase: common in arteriovenous catheterization; primary gout; canine urate, urinary calculi; consumption of foods high in purines, etc.

(2) Secondary increase: seen in a variety of acute or chronic kidney diseases, renal failure, chronic liver disease, poisoning, decreased thyroid function, leukemia, malignancy, tissue damage, diabetes, long-term fasting, etc.

Decrease: Generally not clinically significant.

5. BUN

Elevated.

(1) Pre-renal increase: pre-renal azotemia, muscle injury, drugs (steroids, tetracycline), etc.

(2) Renal increase: common in renal parenchymal disease, glomerular injury, renal azotemia, reduced adrenal cortical function, etc.

(3) Postrenal increase: urethral blockage, ureteral or renal pelvis blockage, etc.

Decrease in.

(1) Synthetic decrease: common in liver disease, poor liver function, portal shunt, low-protein food or absorption disorders, etc.

(2) Diabetes mellitus or uremia, polyuria, rehydration therapy.

6. GLOB*

Elevated.

(1) Increased alpha globulin: acute inflammation, renal disease, liver disease, fever, trauma, parasites, etc.

(2) Increased beta globulin: nephrotic syndrome, neoplasia, fracture, acute hepatitis, cirrhosis, septic dermatitis, severe parasites, etc.

(3) Increased gamma globulin: chronic antigenic stimulation, lymphosarcoma, multiple myeloma, etc.

Decreased.

(1) Generative decrease: common in generative diseases of the liver, blood, etc.

(2) Lossy and catabolic: serum loss due to acute or chronic bleeding, hemolytic anemia, protein-losing enteropathy and nephropathy, burns, etc.

(3) Bacterial and viral infections, some lymphosarcomas, newborn animals lacking colostrum, autoimmune diseases, etc.
