Title | Assay Type | COMMENTS | Turnaround time | Sample Type | Code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Calcium (total) | Clinical Chemistry | same day | S/HP | LBIO | |
Cardiac Troponin I | Clinical Chemisty | Cardiac Troponin I is a highly specific and sensitive marker of myocardial damage in dogs, cats and horses. It is not measurable in healthy animals but its level increases following myocardial cellular damage e.g. congestive hear failure, myocarditis or infarction. | same day | S/HP | LTROPIN |
