Abstract:OBJECTIVE
To determine the sodium correction factor for clinical use in hyperglycemic diabetic dogs.
SAMPLE
Retrospective analysis of 76 hospitalization episodes from 67 different dogs presenting to the University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital between January 1, 2015, and January 1, 2023.
METHODS
For each hospitalization episode, paired blood sodium and glucose concentration measurements were recorded from the time of presentation until glucose concentration was ≤ 201 mg/dL. Therapies administere… Show more
