Comparison of age, creatinine, and SDMA concentrations and UPC on the day of diagnosis of leishmaniosis for Group A versus Group B dogs.
| Group A (median and range) | Group B (median and range) | p | |
|---|---|---|---|
| N = 28 | N = 11 | ||
| Age (months) | 42 (5–120) | 62 (23–156) | 0.14 |
| Creatinine (mg/dL) | 0.9 (0.7–1.3) | 1.3 (0.8–3.6) | 0.01 |
| SDMA (µg/dL) | 12 (8–22) | 17 (9–42) | 0.018 |
| UPC | 0.28 (0.08–3.19) | 4.15 (0.17–13.9) | <0.0001 |
Group A: dogs with no evidence of renal disease based on the IRIS staging for CKD [25] after six months of diagnosis of leishmaniosis. Group B: dogs with CKD classified as IRIS stage 1 to stage 3 and dogs euthanized or dead due to renal disease after six months of diagnosis of leishmaniosis. p: significance level (Mann–Whitney U test). N: number of dogs; UPC: urinary protein/creatinine ratio.
