Determination of immunoglobulin A concentrations in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid of dogs: An estimation of its diagnostic value in canine steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis
2012, Veterinary JournalCitation Excerpt :In this previous study normal IgA values were established using healthy Beagle dogs. However, serum IgA ranges vary widely in the literature (Felsburg et al., 1985, 1992; Day and Penhale, 1988; De Buysscher et al., 1988; Griot-Wenk et al., 1999; Tizard, 2004) and depend on breed and age (Griot-Wenk et al., 1999). In the cases examined in the current study another, higher cut-off point for IgA serum concentrations could improve specificity, but would reduce sensitivity.
Protein-Losing Enteropathies in Dogs
2011, Veterinary Clinics of North America - Small Animal PracticeCitation Excerpt :Because the intestinal biopsies performed in dogs affected with IBD are focal (surgical biopsies) or limited to only a superficial and small part of the duodenum and ileum (endoscopic biopsies), it is possible that IL may sometimes be missed because the lesions may only occur focally.28 Basenji enteropathy is a rare immunoproliferative disease with intense intestinal inflammatory infiltration associated with gastric hypertrophy inducing PLE with severe hypoalbuminemia in some cases.29–33 Hypergammaglobulinemia is reported in some cases.30,34,35
