Notes: Dipstick examination results are presented as either numerical (urine specific gravity, urine pH) or qualitative based on reagent pad (negative through 4+). Sediment examination results are presented as quantitative based on the number seen per high power field, and then classified as none (0), few (1), or many (2). Results are presented as median [range]. Superscripted letters denote a result that is statistically significant when compared to the other groups of dogs in that column.

Abbreviations: Bili, bilirubin; Epi Cells, epithelial cells; Glu, glucose; Ket, ketones; RBC, red blood cell; USG, urine specific gravity; WBC, white blood cell.
