Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio (UPC) to determine the magnitude of the proteinuria.
-
Urine Protein to Creatinine Ratio, Add-on
- Test Code
- ADD230
- Results:
- 1-2 days

Urine Uric Acid/Creatinine
- Test Code
- T310
- Results:
- 1-2 days.
- Specimen
- 0.5 mL urine in urine transport tube.
- Test Description
- Urine Creatinine, Urine Uric Acid, Urine Acid and Creatinine Ratio
Used to monitor the success of preventive treatment for urate bladder stones in Dalmatian dogs. This test is not preferred to a 24‑hour urine uric acid concentration. Urine spot testing (Urine urate: creatinine ratios) are too variable and do not correlate well with 24‑hour urine urate excretion.
-
UTI Cystitis Profile with MIC Urine
- Test Code
- M133
- Results:
- 1-4 days.
- Specimen
- 6.5 mL urine in urine transport tube.
- Test Description
- Urinalysis (UA) and Urine Culture & Sensitivity
A complete UA (T760) and urine culture (M130). Culture performed using FIRSTractâ„¢ methodology allowing for rapid growth within 5-hours and subsequent reporting of a positive or negative result in under 24-hours. A positive result will be immediately plated for bacterial identification and antimicrobial sensitivity testing.
Interferences: Patients should be off antibiotics for seven to 10 days prior to urine culture. Samples obtained via free catch and catheterization need to be interpreted carefully in light of the method of collection. Cystocentesis is the preferred sampling method for culture.
-
