Admission abdominal fluid and serum amino‐terminal pro‐C‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proCNP) concentrations in dogs with septic peritonitis (SP) and abdominal fluid NT‐proCNP concentrations in control dogs. The dotted line (…) represents the determined abdominal fluid detection limit (0.40 pmol/L). All but 1 admission abdominal fluid NT‐proCNP concentrations in dogs with SP were below the detection limit. Significant differences are indicated with * (P < 0.05).
