“…Fluorescence spectroscopy was used for analyzing urine from healthy dogs and dogs with various disorders (cancer, portosystemic shunt, fever, renal failure, and Cushing's disease). The authors discovered that the studied disorders impact urine fluorescent attributes 56 . Besides urine, blood samples were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in order to distinguish between healthy dogs, dogs with nonfood-induced canine atopic dermatitis, and dogs with non-allergic inflammation 57 .…”

Optical Diagnostics and Sensing XIX: Toward Point-of-Care Diagnostics

In this paper, we analyzed the current situation and the potential of biophotonics and biomedical optics in veterinary medicine. Promising optical techniques such as optical coherence tomography, pulse oximeter, and hyperspectral imaging have been clinically translated into human medicine. But even though human and small animal medicine share personalized and state-of-the-art approach, biophotonics remains rarely exploited in the canine and feline medicine. However, there are some biophotonics studies in veterinary oncology which addressed tumor diagnosis (skin and subcutaneous tumors), prognosis (lymphoma), and therapy (clear surgical margins). Visible and near-infrared spectroscopy served for measuring various physiological parameters related to circulation, and photobiomodulation therapy was often used for the management of wounds, skin conditions, and orthopedic problems. In the research, the most popular clinically translated technique is thermography which was applied for the diagnosis of orthopedic problems and diseases as infections and hyperthyroidism. The future optical devices for small animals such as dogs and cats should be robust and resilient to damage (e.g., due to biting, chewing), offering user-friendly and short measurements. In veterinary oncology, biophotonics could replace invasive fine-needle aspiration procedure. The potential of a pulse oximeter for pet monitoring has yet to be explored. What is more, photobiomodulation efficiency should be tested in an extensive clinical (in vivo) study. The technique would be very beneficial in dentistry which currently requires expensive and risky anesthesia.

“…By using theultrasound examination, structural changes in the renal parenchyma, topographical, dimensional and structural changes of the bladder, the existence of urinary bladder stones, the presence of diffuse tumor processes, solid or cystic tumors andthe presence of retroperitoneal masses can be evidenced (Barr and O'Brien, 2009;Froes et al, 2007;Hann et al, 1994;Hanson et al, 2001;Kealy, 2005;Sato and Solano, 2004;Schelling et al, 1988). Spectrofluorimetry is used to evidence urine fluorophores in patients with a suspicion of diabetes (Olar et al, 2018;Šteffeková et al, 2015;Yanagisawa et al, 1998). Serum biochemistry is used to determine blood urea, serum creatinine, calcium, phosphorus, bicarbonate and electrolytes.…”

In the pathology of the urinary system, given its structural and functional complexity, the clinician must correlate the data obtained from the clinical and paraclinical examination. The aim of the study was to identify and apply the most relevant paraclinical methods for establishing the diagnosis of renal disease in dogs and to develop a reliable and easy to use working protocol. The biological material consisted of 25 dogs of different ages and sexes. The conventional and contrast-enhanced radiological examination together with the ecography, spectrofluorimetric analysis, urinary sediment examination, renal biopsy, cytological examination completed the disease information in order to establish a certitude diagnosis. In the management of patients with urinary disorders, the working protocol should include not only the animal anamnesis and a complete clinical examination but also a paraclinical examination which should be used depending on the patient’s clinical manifestations.
