Median (range) values of selected variables in hypercalcemic cats at baseline
| Variable | All cats (n = 10) | Cats with IHC (n = 7) | Cats with CKD (n = 3) |
|---|---|---|---|
| BUN (mg/dl) | 26 (12–77) | 25 (12–31) | 28 (25–77) |
| Creatinine (mg/dl) | 1.5 (1.0–3.6) | 1.4 (1.0–1.8) | 1.7 (1.6–3.6) |
| Phosphorus (mg/dl) | 4.6 (3.7–7.8) | 4.5 (4.0–5.1) | 4.6 (3.7–7.8) |
| Total calcium (mg/dl) | 12.9 (9.5–14.0) | 12.9 (11.5–13.4) | 11.8 (9.5–14.0) |
| Ionized calcium (mmol/l) | 1.54 (1.48–1.65) | 1.53 (1.48–1.64) | 1.57 (1.53–1.65) |
| Albumin (g/dl) | 3.4 (2.9–3.9) | 3.4 (3.3–3.9) | 3.1 (2.9–3.1) |
| Urine specific gravity | 1.050 (1.010–1.050) | 1.048 (1.015–1.054) | 1.013 (1.008–1.017) |
BUN = blood urea nitrogen; CKD = chronic kidney disease; IHC = idiopathic hypercalcemia
