Median (range) serum concentration and number of dogs with elevated serum concentrations of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine transferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), cholesterol, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Data are from 73 SARDS-affected dogs presented to at a single referral hospital between April 1, 1991 and December 30, 2014 and for which data were available
| Serum biochemical parameter | Median (range) elevated serum concentration in SARDS-affected dogs | Reference range and units of measurement | Number of SARDS-affected dogs with elevated serum concentration (% of the 73 dogs tested) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALT | 125 (73–401) | 19–67 IU/L | 35 (48%) |
| ALP | 628 (173–3954) | 21–170 IU/L | 30 (41%) |
| GGT | 9 (7–15) | 0–5 IU/L | 15 (21%) |
| Cholesterol | 433 (364–570) | 135–361 mg/dL | 7 (10%) |
| BUN | 39 (34–49) | 11–33 mg/dL | 4 (5%) |
