ABSTRACT
Each animal was placed in an individual metabolism cage for a 24-h urine sample collection. The following parameters were analyzed and recorded: 24-h urine volume, sodium, potassium, chloride, protein, glucose, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), osmolality, pH, and creatinine (Cr). Individual animal blood and serum samples were analyzed for blood urea nitrogen (BUN), protein, Cr, hematocrit (Hct), sodium, potassium, chloride, and osmolality (Tables 9.3 through 9.6).
