Sensitivity of the Urine Amylase-Creatinine Ratio and Amylase-Creatinine Clearance Ratio in the Diagnosis of Acute Pancreatitis in Dogs. Indian Veterinary Journal, 78(6), 487-491.0019-6479https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/17693The sensitivity of urine amylase-creatinine (Uamy-Ucr) ratio, amylase-creatinine clearance ratio (ACCR), serum amylase (S-amy) and lipase (S-lip) enzyme activities were analysed in 7 dogs with experimentally induced acute pancreatitis (EIP) and in 5 sham-operated control dogs (SOC). The median Uamy-Ucr ratios, S-amy and S-lip activities increased significantly on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th days of the experiment in the EIP group of dogs while the median ACCR increased with statistical significance on the 2nd day of the experiment only. When the test performance was evaluated, the sensitivity of S-lip, Uamy-Ucr ratio, S-amy and ACCR were 93%, 86%, 56% and 36% respectively, when cut off values for S-lip> 350 U/L, for Uamy-Ucr ration of >5, for S-amy of > 1800 U/L and for ACCR of >0.6 were used. In conclusion, it was found that S-lip ativity together with Uamy-Ucr ratio could be an useful diagnostic tool for canine acute pancreatitis.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle786487491Q4
