Abstract
Measurement of glycated proteins can be of use in diagnosis and monitoring
of diabetic dogs. Its use in monitoring can be facilitated by comparison of
results with a reference interval derived from levels in normal dogs. In t
his study, a commercial immunoturbidometric assay was used to measure glyco
sylated haemoglobin in 15 normal dogs over a 5-week period. Following stati
stical analysis of the results a critical difference value of 0.38 per cent
was obtained. (C) 2000 Harcourt Publishers Ltd.
