| Proteinuria | Non-proteinuric | 11 (25.0) | 7 (15.9) | 0.17 |
| Borderline proteinuric | 11 (25.0) | 18 (40.9) | ||
| Proteinuric | 1 (2.3) | 4 (9.1) | ||
| UPC not performed | 21 (47.7) | 15 (34.1) | ||
| Kidney disease | No kidney disease detectable | 16 (36.4) | 9 (20.5) | 0.26 |
| Kidney disease not confirmed or ruled out | 23 (52.3) | 28 (63.6) | ||
| Kidney disease | 5 (11.4) | 7 (15.9) |
Data are n (%) unless otherwise indicated
CS = caudal stomatitis; UPC = urine protein:creatinine ratio; USG = urine specific gravity
